I've been out of the md game for awhile so I'm just starting to do research on which detector I'd like to get. My budget is about $1,000.
The last one I had was a Fisher F75 LTD. It was an excellent detector, albeit a little complex but I did like the fast ground balancing. I upgraded from a Tesoro Cibola to the F75 because I was looking for more features and at the time I wanted a really 'hot' detector for relic hunting which is all I used the F75 and Cibola for.
Eventually I had less and less time for detecting because of work so I sold the F75.
Long story short I'd like to buy another one but this time I'd just like to use it just for finding gold nuggets in dry washes out here in Arizona. Not so much interested in the old rusty stuff anymore.
There's a lot of mineralization in the soil out here so with my budget in mind what detector do you all recommend? I'd love to maybe try a Minelab this time around but I'm don't know if my budget will get me near a respectable model.
Thanks in advance for the advice!
