Hello all, this is my first thread and I am glad to have found this community!! I am very interested in beginning to gold prospect, I live in Bakersfield, CA and want to try to sluice and metal detect the Kern River. I detect parks about twice a week with my Bounty Hunter elite 2200. I am going to buy a better machine, and i am committed to detecting, but I am definitely in the under $750.00 price range. I am a mother, student, and full time waitress so i don't have a lot of free time! My questions are:
1- what I the best gold machine in that price range? Should I just keep my BH for park hunting?
1-Are there any good gold detectors that can be used at parks for coin hunting as well?
2-Would I be better off going with a midrange machine like Garrett Ace 350 because the majority of the time I will be going to parks to coin hunt?
3-Is a gold detector necessary, or could I use a cheaper machine with a sniper coil?
Thanks for your help!!
