Aussie Detecting was quicker. Bottom line, do not blame the dealers. I am pretty sure that they would love to offer us a better price but they just cannot due to "Garrett" (or insert any other brand).

@gadget -Freight -Less demand due to only 23 mil people over a huge area, so less customers -higher salaries -most important: The aussies can afford to pay higher prices attitude. and so on. But I agree, it is ridiculous that we need to pay such a higher percentage.

PDF states 2500 Dollars, so probably here in Australia somewhere between 3200-3800

Thank you again! What a nice bloke.

Sry, about that - should have mentioned it. I have a Garrett Infinium with 2 DD and 2 Mono Coils. No panning.

Hi Fellas, I will be heading out to the Vic Gold Fields this weekend, first time ever. My goal is the Chewton/Castlemaine area and who knows I might get lucky. However, I was wondering about all the different areas up there and that's why I want to ask you guys. What are your experiences when...

Nice one, every treasure hunter's dream. I reckon I wont be able to pull off something similar with my Infinium :)

Waiting for the big crash, so that I can sell all my gold/silver and invest it in shares at a point when no one wants shares anymore. I am not hoping for it but I kinda expect it to happen within the next 5-10 years.

Thx guys That helped a lot, some great advice. I will definitely go for the 900mm pick!

I intend to buy one and was wondering about the different lengths. Any recommendations due to experience? I am something like 6.2 / 6.3 feet tall if that makes any difference. I was going for the 750mm pick, I just took a measurement tape and tried the different lengths like this but it is not...

I was at the exact same spot as you a few weeks ago and after long consideration I went for a Garrett Infinium. You might want to have a look at it as well.....

Can be closed, got a fantastic offer for a second hand Infinium :lol:

I just want to say a big thank you for all the work you have put into this forum. Great effort! I will be hitting the grounds soon and this forum has been a huge help so far.

I ordered some John Tully Maps, lets see how useful they will be :)

What do you reckon guys, good deal? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mount-barker/other-electronics-computers/garret-infinium-land-sea-metal-detector/1024665352

Fantastic information. Thx a lot for the effort. I already like the forum :)

@gadget In some circumstances you are right. After considering all the facts I think I will choose the aussie option. If there are any issues it is just way easier to handle it here than sending/claiming overseas. It is just not worth the few bucks you can save.

Not my first post but still pretty new to this forum. Moved over from Europe in April 2012 (Melbourne) and I love it here. Have always been keen on History/Relics and all that kind of stuff. However, my main focus has always been gold (so far only as investment/buying). But know due to being...

Only use gumtree if you can pick it up. I had to learn this the hard way, luckily I only lost around 150 bucks.

I asked Garrett but they wouldn't give me any information, wondering why :P And somehow it is pretty hard to find news about detectors in general. please enlighten us....
