[QUOTE="bob, post: 370679, member: 628"] Thank you Mbasko for providing the hyperlink to the Minelab/Eureka Gold posts. I'm a contributor and a Eureka Gold fan. Five years ago when I decided to get into detecting I was keen to buy a new machine not a secondhand one. I could not afford the GPX's and chose the Eureka as it was all I could afford. I found lots of interesting stuff like buckles, buttons, coins etc. but no gold. When anyone one asked about the Eureka on a forum, the standard reply pretty much went like old hand's response, implying that the Eureka gold was a waste of money and wouldn't find gold. I thought that I had made a grave error in buying the Eureka. Well after sticking with the Eureka and persisting, I found that it could find gold and this year has been quite successful. Matt123 if you are truly keen on the Eureka Gold go for it but be prepared to work hard at mastering the machine. Your biggest challenge will be to understand the way the detector responds and finding your first piece. Hopefully you will find someone in your area that can give some advice on where to go and help you to develop the necessary skills to find gold. Cheers Bob. [/QUOTE]
