[QUOTE="loamer, post: 87650, member: 981"] Try this site. Its American but seems OK. [url]http://www.metaldetectingworld.com/reviews_metal_detector_index.shtml[/url] as for Australia - not sure but as you have probably already figured out there are four main camps. Minelab group. Whites group. Garrett group. The rest or don't care. Bit like Holden and Ford. (FYI - me? after the HQ, everything else is just garbage). In anything, detectors are not the be all and end all. consideration must be made as for use, location (which will determine soil and ground conditions) EMI issues, coils (a big often overlooked issue) etc etc. As to functionality, type review and planning tool (but not branding), this WA site is quite good. Caveat - they are still a dealer. [url]http://www.gold-prospecting-wa.com/compare-metal-detectors.html[/url] In the end, I think you will find most folk carry a PI and a VLF for gold prospecting and a variety of coils. Bit like fishing- one rod, reel, bait and rig will not cover all areas. Be interested to see what else you can find. [/QUOTE]
