[QUOTE="user 22230, post: 656628, member: 22230"] Ok from the UK. From your experiences sounds like you have a pretty good knowledge of the country then 👍 Detector choice probably depends what type of detecting you plan on doing and plenty of info on forum to make an educated choice. As for vehicle ? Shipping costs are currently thru the roof but then so are 4B prices currently in Australia. A Landcruiser you purchased 5 or more years ago you could now sell for probably 20 to 30k more than you paid for it in todays market. This price increase is across the board basically all and any 4B you now pay premium for. Cruisers new a wait list of 2 to 4 years. Landrover over here are extremely pricey on parts so could be why they are not about in abundance in rural areas. So in brief I guess it's cost to get vehicle here against cost of selling and replacing here that may be the deciding factor? Work wise if your happy to live rural should be no issue given your field of expertise, as the industry is literally screaming for people / workers. Happy swinging. ps Note you say next year which means many things could change before then, along with dwindling private land one can gain access to also. 🤔 [/QUOTE]
