relic hunting in Guam

[briand212]

Hi all, (newbie here)
I am going to Guam ( 3rd trip there) and I was thinkng about purchasing a metal detector for relic hunting.
The area is dense jungle and steep mountains, hills and ravines.

I have very little experince with metal detectors and would like some suggestions on a good detector that does not cost a fortune.

any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Well I get by just fine with a Bounty Hunter Tracker iv. They do lower models as well. The tracker iv is about $250 but their models go all the way down to $99.

I would strongly advise you spend no more than this as there is a real risk your MD will get damaged in transport, unless you take it on as hand luggage. You also need to be careful in areas such as thick jungle because there is an increased risk of finding unexploded ordnance......the last thing you need is being blown to smithereens by an unexploded bit of war detritus !

Anyway...hope that helps. Bounty Hunter models are possibly the best value.....go search for them in the webz

don't dig big signals unless they are also long. A big round signal could explode. A big long signal could be a weapon. siegfried schlagrule.
