    I recently purchased a GP pointer from eBay (basically a copy of a brand name pointer ) . I can't fault it, it does exactly what I need it to do with out hassle. I use it on coins / relics . Delivery was exactly two weeks from China . $50 .

    Defective's Finds - 2017 (Rookie Season) - Minelab Ex-Terra 705

    I got out again this afternoon for a couple of hours. I hit a new spot with less rubbish in the ground. I also found my first pre decimal coin being a 1951 Halfpence, though it's in terrible condition. :Y:

    Finally got back out today and had my new GP pointer to help me out. It makes a huge difference to recovery time. I'm really happy with it. I also worked out if I kept digging every hit I would go mad. I limited myself to the more stable ID's and it quickly improved my ratio of coins to junk...

    Metal Detector advice $500 or under

    Gday Widget. I was in the same situation as you not long ago. Anaconda have sales quite often. They advertise them on their website. My budget was a bit more but after spending time reading lots of reviews and seeing what people are generally using on the forums I ended up buying the Minelab...
