So, here's the story: Both me and my son are interested in metal detecting. But I really don't know the first thing about it, especially when it comes to the question of what brands are worth their price tag. Or, what it even really takes to get started in this hobby.
My son, at first, hinted at wanting a detector for his birthday; and recently straight up requested one. So that leads me to believe his interest is at least somewhat strong. He is a pre-teen, so I think his attention span has made the leap from child-like to more teen-like. I think he has at least a few more years before hanging out with his buddies and then chasing girls really takes over.
He currently helps me coin roll hunt and has an interest in coins, bullion, and collecting in general.
I'm looking for something that isn't too expensive but isn't a cheap knock-off, to give to him as a gift. I'm thinking $300 is my spending limit. Ideally, something I could use as well and feel confident in its quality and ability. Something that'll last a few years, doesn't require a ton of maintenance, is relatively sophisticated/sensitive, etc.
Opinions/advice appreciated. Thanks a lot.
