Help with type of machine

[RelicMedic]

Hey folks. My cousin is into gold prospecting, and wants to get into relic hunting also. He currently does not own a detector but would like a machine that hits well on very small gold and well as performing well in the fields. I know there is no way he could afford the ATX. What would you guys suggest? We appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

Steve Herschbach has a site called detectorprospector.com It is a little dated, but it has some useful information and a section where he looks at detectors. You could also try the gold prospecting forum for advice. Steve also posts on this website.

I have a Minelab 705 and I have heard good things about it picking up gold, although I haven't used it yet for that purpose. I will have to schedule a trip in the upcoming year.
