[QUOTE="Gold Mbr2020, post: 598529, member: 18382"] Hi, pretty sure XLOOX much has more knowledge on various detectors than I do but for my 2c worth on a $3k budget I'd look at a Garret ATX Extreme if you can find one under $3k or a second hand ML SD2200, as suggested. Garret are not as expensive as ML models and are very capable as i understand it. Not sure where they sit in peoples opinions on our ground but I believe plenty of people use them over here. I do believe a PI detector with a mono loop coil would be more of an advantage as opposed to an Equinox which I think is not really designed to find bigger nuggets at depth. That is not saying that you're MXT wouldn't be effective with the right settings. A 12in and 10x6in DD in hot ground should set you up pretty well I imagine but you won't get the depth of a mono coil. You should get better performance in hot ground or in an area with higher EMI with the DD coil. Good luck [/QUOTE]
