[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 671541, member: 16174"] Understand that SDC2300 is double to triple the price range you are looking in but: 1) No metal detector is simpler to use - just turn on & go. 2) Great ground handling - will work nearly anywhere 3) It is great at small gold -there are hundreds more small nuggets out there than larger ones 4) Dont worry, it will still pick up larger deeper nuggets - I got 1/2oz at 40cm 5) Folds up very compact & is very robust so can just chuck it in a corner of car/caravan. 6) If it turns out detecting isnt their thing then very good resale - you might get 90% back. When your parents are at a caravan park chatting with others about detecting then if they have an SDC then they will be happy. If they have a VLF ( Monster/Nox/Makro etc) they will probably be sad. So you can buy a new $1200 detector you can resell for $800 or a second hand $3000 detector you can resell for $2600. Same net cost. [/QUOTE]
