I tried my Fisher M Scope 1225x out again today in my backyard only to find more nails and very rusty metals.
I put both a gold ring and a nail one after the other under my metal detector and it made the same exact noise ??? I thought each metal made a unique beep?

Anywho, Call me lazy but I'd like to buy a metal detector where I can somewhat tell what is under the dirt before I dig. It's hard work digging through tons of big rocks to find a few nails. :sadsmiley: I'd be really happy to find a wheat penny or any kind of coin though. :laughing7:

& Anyone know what I can get for my Fisher M scope with shark headphones?


Thank you :)

Kellyco has a Tesoro SilverUMax for 254.00. Plus a lifetime warranty. That's about as far as I can go. Later Clyde

The Teknetics Eurotek Pro with 11" DD coil is the best machine in the $300 range made hands down. It has adjustable iron audio and very good multiple tones, fast recovery speed, very lightweight, and 5 year warranty.

The bottom of this forum there will be a list of all 50 states. Click Maryland and ask what type of detectors are being used in your area. Every area in this country the soil conditions are different and by asking about your area you should be in luck....

Contrary to popular opinion Bounty Hunter makes good machines too. It's all in learning what your machine is telling you. BH uses multiple tones too. They are sold in some BOX stores like Wal-Mart. Check Wal-Mart web site. Dealers despise that. IMHO
