Frankly, neither of those two detectors is a very good choice, given the levels of ground mineralisation present in many productive Victorian goldfields. If you really intend to undertake this new venture seriously, you'd be better advised to buy a cheap, older generation Minelab pulse induction detector. They're sturdier than either of those two, well-proven in all Australian goldfields and even your very minimal ~$1,000 budget should be enough to get you started with a more suitable tool for the task ahead.

Good luck, you'll need it. ickshovel:
