Hi,
I'm looking to determine what might be the least expensive unit a person can buy new that has all the basic features needed in a nugget detector.
So far what I've come up with is the Tesoro Vaquero.
Operating frequency of 14.3 kHz, 14.5 kHz, and 14.7 kHz. Manual ground balance. Adjustable threshold based all metal mode. Bonus of hot disc mode. Can use all Lobo coils. Internet price $420.00
I found a couple nuggets with a Vaquero last summer and was impressed by what a good little machine it is for the price. And only 2.2 pounds!
So are there any other units new out there running over 10 kHz, with a ground balance and threshold based all-metal mode? And available for less than $420.00?
