(I always try to do a solid search of the forums and the net before I make a new thread but, I was surprised to find very little on this comparison.)
I'm going to buy a detector soon and I'll buy a cheap $100 unit but, then I'd like to buy a top of the line VLF. Then buy a PI.
Now I'm a newbie and some of you will cringe with these points but, I'm thinking these are the top VLF from 2 of the best brands. So that's something.
The price is about the same but, I'm seeing some cheaper used AT Golds. Now the 2 things bugging me are this. I think the Eureka Gold "may" be the better machine for finding gold. However, I have to admit the LCD display on the AT is cool (for a newbie) . I also like the waterproofness of the AT. I think I'll be doing some detecting in areas where it will be wet and I like the idea if putting the detector underwater.
The Eureka does have the 60kHz where the AT only goes to 18.
What do you guys think?
