[QUOTE="bengrant, post: 598420, member: 20577"] Hey ladies and gents! So I'm gearing up for a week long trip out around Bendigo and other goldfields in June..I bought a White's MXT Pro a few years back with the 12" concentric and 10x6" Eclipes DD coils. I'm just not quite sure if it's worth waving that thing around for 5 days or if I should just trade it in for a newer Minelab. Thing is, I'm not after tiny specks of the yellow stuff... (not to sound like a snob!) But I'm happy to hunt for the slightly bigger pieces that may be up there.. My question is.. should I invest in something a bit better for the deeper stuff or break my MXT in some more? I thought about buying a Minelab Monster 1000 but it seems like the ground is really hot over there and might be too sensitive for what I'm looking for... small to medium nuggets (not specks) at deeper depths. Not sure if this would even work. I guess I would use a larger coil.. but not sure which one for VIC or if perhaps the Minelab Equinox might be a better option? My budget is pretty much under 3 grand. Thanks for any advice in advance... :D [/QUOTE]
