[QUOTE="GrizzlyLar, post: 665271, member: 21859"] Hi all, Just after some advice for my first detector please? My main interest is detecting for gold but i only have time to get to the goldfields maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I have little interest in detecting for other metals however i do live near a beach which I could detect on a weekly basis. I've been panning a few times in the Sofala area NSW and have caught the bug so looking to get my first detector. My budget doesn't stretch for a PI detector so looking at VLF. I've read good things about the equinox 900 and like the idea of having multiple frequencies to choose from. I figure for the small stuff 40 kHz would be almost as good as the gold monsters 45khz with the added ability of multi frequencies and being able to drop down to 4khz for hot areas or deeper searching. Plus the bonus of being waterproof. I understand the equinox range is marketed more as a metal detector rather than for gold. That being said would it be a good option for a first gold detector? I figure when I'm not detecting gold I could use it on a weekly basis at the beach to hone my skills. Appreciate thoughts and experience. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
