[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 650003, member: 4728"] Putting a budget on possibly what may be a long term purchase may not be a wise thing. If you can stretch to a used 4500 or 5000, I would recommend doing so. I have seen many for sale at prices ranging from low 3s. If your trip to WA is unsuccessful you will never be left wondering if it was the machines fault. You will then have a decision to make as to whether gold prospecting is for you and if you decide not just resell the detector. 45s and 50s have a ready resale value and treat any loss (shouldn’t be much if anything) as a hire cost. A quality detector is not a cost rather it is an investment, one that can pay off in terms of success. If you want to increase your chance of failure go for less. [/QUOTE]
