[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 640220, member: 4728"] Second moneybox’s comments. You need a top grade detector otherwise you are behind the eightball with others going over the ground not only before you but also with better detectors. When I was working I used to have your problem of only having limited leave time each year and with a young family limited finances to be able have thousands of dollars sitting in a cupboard for most of a year. The way I used to get around it was to buy a second hand top grade machine (in those days through the Trading Post), use it during my holidays and immediately resell it through the TP when we got home. Much cheaper than hiring a good machine as over a few weeks the asking price didn’t diminish that much and in one instance was lucky to get more than I paid for the machine. There are lots of good secondhand 2300s and 5000s about at the moment that will almost guarantee you to find you gold. With the 5000 make sure you get a good small coil such as a 8” round or 8 x 6 Sadie. Large coils will almost guarantee newbies will not find gold As they are best used to winkle out the deeper nuggets after the small ones have first been detected In an area. [/QUOTE]
