Hi. I currently have two detectors. One is a super cheap one that helped me learn about detecting, the other is the AT Pro. I'm interested in getting a detector to find smaller caches that can, with the right coil, go down a few feet. Ideally, it would be neat if something has discrimination to separate the good stuff from the trash. I understand with a bigger coil, a lot of smaller trash will be ignored.

Here's detectors I've been looking at. One of the two box detectors, like the Gemini or TM808. However, not much by way of discrimination with those. The White's Sierra Madre with the 25" coil. I really don't know. Any recommendations?

Hi markanderson.

Looks like you scrolled a bit too far, friend.

Try the Treasure Hunting Forum / Cache Hunting.

It is just above this God Detecting Forum.

I meant to say GoLd Detecting Forum, you know. But when I saw what I typed, I laughed. Then I left it.

[No one admits to having enough gold to fashion a calf here]. But there's the guy that dredged ...

Hey, its late.

Anyhows, guys and girls on the Cache Forum should be able to give you more info.

Over here, we are down with the fever.

I don't know if you are in a gold-bearing state; if the fever strikes, come on back!
