metal detector for prospecting, page-13

Big dollars for anything new.

I have an old Minelab SD2000? which cost me over $4k many moons ago. Yes I have found small nuggets in Central Victoria and have found small ones in East Gippsland.

I bought mine through Miner's Den.

More than likely you may be able to purchase one of the early Minelab detectors (the best) for a reasonable figure? An SD2000 SD2100 will get you started. The latest Minelab model is $6500+ I and they are extremely good. If the nugget is of size and within range, you will find it with the old models just as easy.

You can always upgrade "IF" you find that big one.

Cheers and good luck.

PS years ago Miner's Den used to rent them out.
