[QUOTE="Brumble-Gum, post: 63798, member: 1569"] Hi Gold Billyen I have had experience with the AT Gold and a XT 18000 (The model prior to the Eureka). Both work well and are proven gold finders, one is an exclusive VLF Gold machine (With the 3 frequencies) the other is a Specific frequency Gold machine that can be used as a Coin/Relic machine also (But not on wet beach sand). Are you an analogue or digital person? Allot of our older generation like to use the Eureka or older Whites machines as it is what their generation are used to, switches and dials can be adjusted for ease of use. The younger generation usually prefer the digital screens with the variable noises, numerical and depth indicators for identification, these take some getting used to but once learned both make for a deadly combination. A quick note before I upset anyone, these are my observations only and are not set in concrete. There are some older people who own and run digital machines and vice versa for the younger generation with the Eureka. Only the other day I assisted a mature gentleman travelling Australia who required assistance with his 705 settings. The buttons, noises and different frequencies on coils confused the heck out of him. I set him up as best I could with a smooth threshold and showed him how to ground balance etc. He thanked me and the last thing he said was "I wanted to buy a Eureka but i was talked out of getting what I wanted by the sales staff. I think I would have found the dials easier to use". Both find gold and are great in the right hands, if you are technologically minded go the AT Gold if not go the Eureka. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
