Sourdough Scott Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 My mother in law want to get into detecting. Gonna put the budget at $ 500 or less. She wants to do some coinshooting. She is a complete newbie. Great gold panner though. Something easy and light. What do guys recommend ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hard to go wrong with an Ace, even an Ace 250. If prospecting, basic $499 Gold Bug. However, I am walking out door to a Minelab meeting that starts in an hour. My big advice? Wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klunker Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Scott; I glanced at the title of your post and thought you wanted something that alerted you to the arrival of your mother in law. Sorry. I should have taken the time to read it---Just kidding (as always). If you would like to try the 705 come by and grab it. It takes a bit of learning but the more I use it the better I like it.

Sourdough Scott Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thank you sir klunker. I will. I won a 505 in a raffle and my wife likes it. So now mom want to go out too. I'm not real sure how much she will like it or even go out. But she has expressed interest in it. Just don't want to overspend on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
