Don't they normally appreciate in value after your dead?

For that sort of money about the only thing decent you'll pick up is an Xterra 705 maybe a gold razor, both second hand of course... there are probably more but they're the ones that come to mind.
Hope this helps

Get yourself a Minelab SD2100, one of the best detectors ever manufactured.

Yep, but they are still fetching well over $500. This one has 3 good coils with it.

Probably don't need two 11" DDs, so I'd be getting rid of one and adding a mono coil, maybe an elliptical, something like a 12x7" Nugget Finder, and you'd have a very good combo.

I have wanted to get a metal detector for some time now but never really had any money, and i know that $300 might not sound like alot but it is all i have.
Im looking for a metal detector for under $300 AUD for all round detecting.

If any of you have any suggestions that would be great.

Bounty hunter 4 is a good starter detector for coins relics.

Have a look at the Minelab Gofind models. The Gofind 66 is usually around $400. On sale at Anaconda at the moment for $319. A well known brand and an entry level detector.

Yer mate.. Dan has the minelab xterra 705..That's a bargain for 300$ :8

 

[LORD]

Mate, I would jump on the 705 for $300 if I was you.
I would get it myself at that price if I didn't already have way too many detectors lol.
And I feel Danny is also doing it to help ya start out :Y: good luck

 

[roy cobb]

The 705 is a great relic detector and $300 is a bargain.

 

[Ramjet]

Agreed. I would grab that deal.

 

[Skip]

Like everyone has said mate.. take his offer up.
There's not many detectors for $300 that will produce the goods like the 705.

And most importantly you'll have a heap of fun.. then you'll be hooked and before long... gold fever sets in. layful:
