[QUOTE="loamer, post: 63170, member: 981"] Here are some things to consider between VLFs and PIs. I have no drum to beat - I use both types for different detecting scenarios. I also use a very broad range of coils to cover my options, both DD and monos. Your budget sounds reasonable and a good early PI is just as capable as the newer machines for general detecting. If I was starting out, I would chose one of the early SD models - 2000, 2100, 2200. I am biased towards the 2200 as I still use one as a back-up to my 4500 (very attached to it). I am not anti White's or Garretts, its just that I never see them down here in the triangle amongst my friends and detecting crew, but they do get a reasonable rating (always remember, the hand of faith was found with an early Garrett). Good luck.
