Thanks Auminesweeper.

Once again, helpful advice. At this point I would be looking at a MXT with the standard 10", plus the 5.3" and then be on the lookout for a 14x10 Detech Excellerator EQ2 on ebay. That sounds simple enough. Thank you.

Thanks Auminesweeper. That was very, very helpful. I am getting wise advice on this site. My search has narrowed considerably and yes, I shall consult my wife. I will be moving to Victoria in a month's time for work reasons and am keen to do a bit of detecting. If you were to only have three coils for your MXT, what would they be?

Thanks Phrunt. I value your advice.

Greetings Auminesweeper. The MXT has got me interested. Being an Aussie like me, how have you found it searching for gold in the heavily mineralised grounds such as in the golden triangle of Victoria? Should I be looking at a ML GPX 4500, which is dearer, or will this MXT do the trick. Another option was the ML Equinox that "everyone" seems to be talking about. Being a raw beginner I have started off very small with an Aldi detector, buried my wife's ring in 6 inches of dirt and detected it. Valuing my life I 1st put it into a plastic bag, just in case.
