[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 50898, member: 1695"] I wasn't indicating that Fisher dectectors don't work well here, as they do, it was simply a reference to the two main seperate markets for the Fisher and Teknetics detectors (US & Europe), whereas the Australian market is a lot smaller in comparison. We get the best of both worlds here in Oz, with choices from both sub brands.:) The Goldbug 2, despite getting a bit long in the tooth now, still rates as the best small gold detector on the market, people still prefer the manual GB over the disastrous Gold Strike model, don't think that particular model went down too well with the veteran detectorists. Have also had an interest in the F4/F5 models, they pack a lot of features for low to mid range machines, and would be good allrounders. The F2 nearly always seems to receive good reviews for a budget detector, so I don't think you can go too wrong with it. It basically boils down to what features you want in a detector for the price, and there is always the buyer that has a favourite brand. Personally, I like trying out all types of detectors from different brands, I don't really like limiting myself to just one brand. ;) [/QUOTE]
