[QUOTE="gcause, post: 78722, member: 1497"] Zan the objective is to get a present for a first time prospector. As someone new to prospecting it would be best to hold off the big investment in the metal detector until you have done some more research on this. I would suggest going out with a few forum members and picking their brains and perhaps hiring a detector for a day from a dealer. If you really want to get a best prospector a present that will last their whole prospecting life I would suggest investing in a set of goldpans like the Garrett deluxe set. It's a cheaper option and you will be able to go out and prospect for gold with it. Learn to do gold panning first, talk to people about their experiences with their metal detectors and then go and invest after you have hired one. It's a big investment and one you don't want to get stung on by some shonky operators. If you do decide to buy one the go with a reputable dealer who can offer you a warranty on the product. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
