Take the Garrett, if you can afford it, go for the 250 instead of the 150. They´re both good machines, the 250 just has a few extra´s.  |

| Wise words malachite I am with you on that one, the older Whites clasic range can be found cheap, possibly a bargain Tesoro if you get lucky, or C Scope CS2M, etc. All good honest machines with no unwanted gimmicks. |
