	Which one to get? « on: April 26, 2012, 10:20:43 am »

I have been thinking about 3 MD's. The Garrett 350, Garrett 250, and the Fisher F2. Which one would you guys choose and why?

Thanks in advance.

What are you hunting for?

What do you expect from the detector?

homefire, just clad, relics and hopefully some gold laying around somewhere. Not really trying to make a fortune finding stuff. I have a bunch of other detectors that work just fine, just was looking into something with a newer technology.

None of those are Gold machines.

The 250 has alway been a producer machine.

Read the Reviews on them all. Cool

Is there any such thing? Even the Gold Snoop and others made for gold have multiple use capability. I know quite a few prospectors in Australia using the Garrett Ace machines with great success.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

A 6Khz machine will not find Gold as well as say a 15Khz machine.

Yes they will find gold.

Just not as well. Cheesy

All detectors in the all metal mode are great on gold. Discouraging someone by telling them it's not a gold machine would have them look elsewhere when a fine machine awaits them. Just sayin'.

It is a Fact that higher Freq Machines are hotter on Gold Due to the Conductance of Gold.

I'm Not discouraging him from buying any machine. Just stating that Higher Freqs will find Gold Better.

Gold Nuggets are a bugger. Gold Jewelry is better with higher Freqs.

The little Sorta Cheap in price Tesoro Cibola is hot on gold Jewelry because of the Freq it Runs. (14Khz)

It detects jewelry most well.. If I remember Right TabDog proved that.

He proved a lower end machine could produce incredible finds.

A 6Khz machine would not have found that stuff.

I've found a 1 gram Gold Nugget with a 6Khz machine.

That machine would not have found the 1/4 gram nugget I found with the Cheapo 30 some year old Garrett S-3 runing at 15Khz.

In the PI world you need a machine that can see 10ms samples or less.

The Tesoro Eldorado I have has 3 freq's, 10.6 kHz, 10.4 kHz, 10.2 kHz. Maybe I'll just stick with that and the other 2 BH's that I currently have, it's just an obsession to get more. Grin
