I have owned a Minelab Explorer for several years and really like the machine.
I am now getting somewhat involved in recreational prospecting and am in the market for a good gold nugget detector. I don't have the budget for a top of the line machine. I saw a demo of the X=terra 70 at a GPAA show and almost bought one on the spot. But I shy away from impulse buying.
I have a great coin shooter but would appreciate any input or advice on a good gold nugget detector that can find small nuggets as the areas I am likely to hunt are not known for very large gold. The x-terra seemed impressive enough at the gold show but is there something else out there that would be better suited as a dedicated gold machine and still in the price range of the x_terra 70?
Thanks in advance
Robert
