need your opinion please!

thanks guys for your all valued opinions, indeed it will help me choose the right detector for me, i have a friend that owns a german metal detector which is pulse star pro, he didn't use it a lot and it's in great condition, do you recommend it to me for deep big targets and also for small gold nuggets?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with a Pulse Star Pro. Judging by it's name, it's probably a PI (Pulse Induction) machine. If so, it will have no reliable discrimination. Probably good depth though.

Search the used market for whites xlt, dfx, or mxt. But be warned,, they are not entry level machines, and could frustrate you. But these machines were the top of the line not too many years ago. I have gotten a dfx for 300 used. A used Fisher, teknetics, or maybe a new bounty hunter you could get in that price range. The bounty hunter is entry level, and it isn't a top of the line detector, but I have owned one when I was starting out and found some good things with it. The bounty hunter land ranger pro is 250ish new. The same company, first texas, makes fisher, teknetics, and bounty hunter.


Lots of dealers have used machines they will sell you. Check there as well.

Good luck...

sorry for posting the link, thanks for your reply, so is it that bad! did any one try one of this company metal detectors?
it's called PIRATE metal detectors. I couldn't find any vender on amazon that sells these metal detectors, only found a few on ebay.

There's a section in this Forum, for vendors - they should help you a lot...!
