Default A little info please..

I would like to purchase a new detector. Don't have alot of money to spend right now, but would like something with a nice depth range that would be capable of detecting gold and silver ( live near mining ground). Could someone give me some advice on what MD might be good...

Thank you

Minelab Xterras are good machines and can find Gold and Silver
Talk to the Dealers and they will help you pick the right machine for your purpose.

I am trying to keep it under the 300.00 range. Right now I have been thinking Bounty Hunter VLF or Famous Trails MD7030. Anyone have info on either of these?

I sure don't know about those, but here we GO. Sounds like you're a perfect candidate for the Ace 250. Just you wait. You'll get a bunch of responses because a bunch of people on here use this machine.

I have one and really love it. For about $270 you can get the Ace 250 and the sniper coil. Talk to one of the sponsors here and see what they can off you.

good luck and happy hunting (for a MD)

For under 300.00 I'd try the ace 250. I have a
Bounty hunter it works great but dosen't have
much depth. I'm sure someone here can help
you
