Get an aldi and see if you enjoy it and want to upgrade. Don't let all the ring pulls discourage you just dig every solid signal for experience.
If you enjoy it and want to upgrade to a minelab keep your eye on anaconda.com for the 25% off sales and save enough money to buy a pin pointer.
If the hobby isn't for you its only $100 down

Sold the deus, upgraded to this. 50 bucks, never used. It works as well as the aldi, found the radiator cap easily. Pinpointer detects coin at an inch or so. Its my car detector, to hit woodchip areas.
At least now you should be able to compete with us dirty csx users 
Should be able to pay that one off in a couple of hunts Rocket.
I feel so dirty owning a CTX, I love it. Oooooh Yeah!

I heard that the Garrett Gold Pro is very versatile. A second hand or near new unit should be available for under 1K. If you wait till September Garrett's new International Max will be out at around $1300. give or take a $100
thanks mate will look it up
hoping to finally get up to Mudgee around October sometime for a well earned camp and prospect, bit of detecting , panning , and sluicing but I only use a gravity feed in the creek. I was going to set up a battery pump powered one but not got around to it , saying that I don't mind throwing buckets of gravel through my home made sluice, for me just getting back out there and giving it a go bit of luck might even find something
again thanks heaps for your advice mate
cheers sully

Hi deepthoughtcycle
Mate you sound keen , good bit of advise is instead of flooding the forums with questions take some time to go throu and read up on the info you are after , there's heaps and heaps of good info it's just a matter of searching throu and finding the right topix you after ! Now in regards to your new detector did you buy it brand new over where your living in china ?
No, I don't mean detecting Chinese, I mean detectors made in China.
Pretty much every piece of high tech gear people use these days uses components from China.
Most Nikon and Canon cameras are made 100% in China.
Fords, Holdens, Apple i crap, Toyotas, etc etc etc just wouldn't run at all without Chinese components (and assembly)
So what about mineral detection gear?

Hi Mike, you pay for what you get. Loads of horror stories of minelab copies etc.
Not sure why you would risk a few grand to buy Chinese copies.
My advice buy the real thing and you will not regret.
