which machine would you use

hi all wife and i are new to detecting for gold, we are planning on going to kalgoorlie for a week if all goes to plan in 5 to 6 weeks time, we dont have the $6000 for a machine, what would be your next pick for use in kalgoorlie, hope to see you out there cheers dale and stacy

How much do you want to spend?
If you're only going for a week why not just hire a 5000?

thanks for your reply robert, i was thinking of hiring one for a week, i will make some phone calls cheers dale and stacy

Hi Dale

There are 2 main providers in Perth, Prospectors Patch or Reeds Prospecting both in Midland to which could provide you some valuable info before you go. The other in Kal will be Finders Keepers also willing to assist. All 3 hire detectors so it will be your choice of the provider.

Thanks Ian I will give Finders Keepers a call

maybe u would like to look at the virtues of a Xterra 705 or a Eureka Gold these machines find a lot of gold the others leave behind--they are very well priced and within your price range and easy to use.

hi dale and stacy ,you mentioned not $6000 for the 5000 to buy ,i don't blame you if you don't do it often . Renting is an option for the latest gear , but if you choose to own a detector that's still in the game id choose a minelab extreme & still a good detector , $1800 up to $2000 , good depth but noisy on some ground compared to the newer 4500 5000 models, that's all mostly .
