A friend has an older model Etrex and she and I started out. We did great but she had the knack of knowing what to do and how to search. There is a lot more to this game than just the tool! Took out my son-in-law and family today and forgot mine (he was bummed) and we used his basic old Magellan and got 5 finds in our day. Again - probably basic thoughts- it is not necessarily the machine - buy the best you can but get the training & practice to back it up. Just my thoughts as my hubby paid loads and I would have had as much fun, probably at my novice level with a E-trex, but I will hopefully work up.
More Magellan bashing?
