[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 645694, member: 3149"] There are now quite a few really good detectors priced around the $500 mark. (prices are recommended retail in Aus) Minelab Vanquish 340 - $399 Nokta Makro Simplex+ $475 Minelab Vanquish 440 $499 Quest Q30 $569 Minelab Vanquish 540 $599 Nokta Makro Simplex+ WHP $629 Having a quick look on youtube, there are many comparison videos with varied content. Here's some videos I've come across: [MEDIA=youtube]hcpY3YoK2ow[/MEDIA] (has english subtitles) This one's very very long and no subtitles, but good the hear the different audio between the units. [MEDIA=youtube]YQqwnFAXhyc[/MEDIA] Vanquish 540 vs Simplex WHP - [MEDIA=youtube]0gQv-yRnhmA[/MEDIA] (US prices, but a good comparison on the features) Simplex vs Vanq 540, sensitivity to small targets [MEDIA=youtube]lTJYltCPAZE[/MEDIA] There's a tonne more, and often some good info to weed out in the comments.
