Sorry to bring up yet another what detector topic but I'm stuck on this question of which detector to get. I've owned two Minelab Sovereigns, a 305, and an Explorer. I've mostly been a WW2 relic hunter but want to diversify a bit. The ability to have something that can pull some gold appeals but I don't live on the gold fields and can't justify the spend on a Minelab GP anything so they're out of the picture.
The AT Gold and the Infinium are both the front runners at the moment. I see a lot more posts about what has been found with the AT Gold rather than the 705 gold pack so it has gone to the last spot on the list.
For the AT Gold I'm amazed at the nuggets being pulled by heavymetal on this forum. Awesome. My question is: would the infinium detect roughly the same amount (or better) of gold as the AT Gold? If so and as it can also do the beach then it would be my choice. Is my thinking correct or am I missing something? I'm a recreational detectorist, under no illusions of leaving work for full time prospecting, but want to have weekend hunts for relics and coins with some occasional fun on the goldfields with something reasonable for the price.
