Hello all,

After I lost all my sluicing equipment in an accident it's been about four months since I've gone out looking for gold. I'm thinking i'd like to give using a metal detector a shot when it comes to looking for gold.

I've never used one in my life, so i'm turning to the fine people of treasurenet to point me in a decent direction.

My budget can't go over 500 bucks and ideally i'd like something as small as possible as I'll most likely try to transport it on my motorcycle if I can.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Thank you!

With your budget, you'll most likely have to get a used machine. Take a look at these:

Tesoro Lobo Super Traq

Whites GMT

Fisher Goldbug

Minelab 705

Teknetics G2

A used Gold Bug would be the one I would choose.
