New Minelab gold detector: $12,499.00
Most expensive Garrett gold detector: $799.95*

Is any detector worth twelve and a half thousand dollars? Are you buying more than just the parts that make up this machine? What exactly does "up to 40% more depth" mean?

On the other hand, if you live in gold country, one good find could pay for this machine. This is head-swimming territory, and I'm not sure how to handle it. What do YOU think?

*(To be fair, Garrett also has a deepseeker detector package at $3,280, but that one comes with two coils and several accessories and does much more than find gold.)

They are selling you an expensive gadget, probably thinking that people will think just like you " I only need to find one big nugget for it to pay for it's self " thing is, any detector will find a big nugget and do you really want to dig 400mm for a tiny one? I'd rather spend more time looking for the bigger nuggets closer to the surface. I honestly can't see how they can justify such a price for a metal detector, you'd be better off buying two Garret detectors for less and have double the pleasure.

Also like any thing else you could spend a million dollars on it but if you don't swing the coil over it your not going to find it,,, that go's for gold coins or any thing  else of value

Did anyone bother to listen to the podcast?   Dan is performing a public service by trying to convince the novice and/or the person who always has to have the "newest/most expensive" thing on the market that "you get what you pay for" isn't always the case----unless, of course, you're more interested in paying for the sizzle rather than the steak.  And besides, I think Dan's last idea that he shares on the subject during the podcast is probably the closest to the truth as to why Minelab markets a $12,500 detector....but don't worry, no spoiler alert here.  You'll just have to listen to the podcast (again) for that little marketing gem.

I could put a down payment on a piece of gold rich property here in the gold country with that much
