[QUOTE="Toysandthings, post: 156484, member: 498"] Yes as others have said, You'd b looking at around the $1000 mark for a new VLF for a gold detector, most can do coins n relics as well. A PI detector would push u into the $3-$4K and up price range. You should b able to pick up a used PI detector at the $1 to $2K price. Guess it comes down to personal preference of used v new and then how good u want it to b. Oddly enough, I just tested in 'air' the go-find 40 we have here as a demo with a 1g gold nugget I test detectors with n suprisingly it tested out to 5 to 6cm. n coins, well any detector can do coins a fair distance. Not pushing it as a gold detector, just an example of how an air test is one thing but in the ground is another. Mind u, I am yet to test its in the ground capabilities.... [/QUOTE]
