G'day all.
I bought myself a cheapo detector from Aldi about 20yrs back and had a play, and while it briefly stirred my interest, it was never more than a toy.
Having gone as far as I can with my main hobby without spending huge amounts to take it further, and having a seriously constrained budget, has me looking for another that might actually pay for itself. So I have recently decided to get serious about being a detecting/prospecting bower bird and see where it takes me.
After much reading and ewe-toobing I have decided that the Minelab Equinox 800 is what I need, but I would also like some advice/opinions from people who don't have a pecuniary interest in one brand or another.
I have many, many other questions, but have not yet done a comprehensive read of this forum yet so I'll do that before getting specific.
