[QUOTE="goldDigger, post: 20338, member: 1003"] i have a couple of questions i am based at stanthorpe which is an old mining area . i have read a fair few posts from the forum and i have narrowed it down to a garret at pro or at gold there seems to be only a difference of a hundred dollars between the 2 of them. their both waterproof/resistant to 3 meters in the brochure only the at pro is good for salt water however saltwater is about three hours away so no big deal unless i find myself down the coast much. not that i intend to take it swimming. the other issue is portability as i have had a motorbike for the last 4 years as my only means of transport. i notice they come in a box disassembled and require some assembly so would either break down into bits that would fit inside a backpack ? and assemble in 15 mins or so ? i have looked a little at the mine labs but they seem to be a bit pricier.about a grand iis my limit and most people on the forum seem happy enough with their garrets so any thought ? oh i guess should mention i would be looking for gold i think mostly but that depends a bit on work so perhaps coins and things might win out depending on time constraints [/QUOTE]
