G`Day RM Outback, I`m from West Vic. I`m on the look out for a metal detector. I use to have an xt17000 but I sold it about 8yrs ago. Never found any gold with it but I dug alot of junk up with it. But the bug never left,never has. The plus side of it was being out bush. Hoping to get out and have a walk around again. Thanks for the welcome.
