I'm looking to buy a reasonably priced detector which I can use, among other things, for meteorite and gold detecting. I've come across comments/suggestions regarding the Fisher Goldbug series, the Fisher F75 used by the Meteorite Men, and White's GMT. The Minelabs X705 Gold and Eureka Gold have also been mentioned. An advisor at Kellyco reommended White's V3i as the ultimate machine capable of coins, gold, and meteorites detecting. Other than the fact that these are all relatively high kHz machines, necessary for prospecting and meteorites, noone has mentioned the role of other features or other specific reasons supporting the purchase of any these particular models .
Can you hunt effectively for coins with a 48 plus kHz single freq detector such as the GMT and Goldbug? Will a Minelabs Safari or Explorer SE II do the job well across the spectrum: coins, gold, and meteorites? I've yet to see or hear of any Minelabs Safari or SE II owners using detectors for gold or meteorite detection.
Appreciate any input from the experts out there.
Thank you.
