[QUOTE="ToPoke, post: 598939, member: 2250"] Hello! Here's to a first post here and I hope I've found the right place to ask a couple of questions I've got I've always had an interest in prospecting both alluvial and detecting since I was young but never got an opportunity to, and I've read through a bunch of posts here and it's been super informative, so thanks everyone. I decided to bite the bullet and find a detector to get learning with and I've narrowed down a shortlist of machines to look for under $1k-ish that still seem to be relevant for gold in Vic GT, thought I might get some opinions on them first: Minelab SD 2000-series heavy? and replacement batteries might be an issue.. are these getting old? Minelab Gold Monster 1000 Whites GMT, Goldmaster Nox 800 How does the learning curve differ for all these, or how rewarding they are to learn? Also just to know what to expect to fork out for these, also appreciated And no, I don't have the budget to go SDC2300 or GPX as I'll bet some of you might suggest :lol: Thanks in advance, looking forward to reading your posts, and do correct me if I'm sorely mistaken :Y: [/QUOTE]
