[QUOTE="kimberlite, post: 23184, member: 1090"] Hi All A newbie to the forum here. After a bit of advice on detectors. I have not been prospecting for quite some time and the array of available machines is quite staggering. I have been prospecting with my old man since a was a kid in the Yundamindera area in the WA goldfields, we did really well starting from a few nuggets detected with old Garretts to dryblowing, shaft sinking and eventually an open pit. Have not detected since I was 18 years old as I have been too busy with my mining career for the last 27 years and its now time to get back into it. I have since moved to Darwin and have a good 4wd quad and have been searching for old abandoned mines with some success around the Pine Creek area. My question is what would be the best choice for a relic detector that can handle hot ground? I plan on a GPX5000 for gold but there is myriad sites for relics especially a large amount of WW2 sites throughout the region and there is many opportunities for some fun other than gold. Thanks [/QUOTE]
