Hello everybody,

I would like to kindly ask you could you please give me your advice from your experience which is a good metal detector for Relic hunting NOT for gold one???

I was thinking for Garrett ATX Pro, Garrett GTI 2500 or Minelab Explorer SE (if you have other suggestions please let me know).

The GTI VLF system is best or the ATX PI?!?

I would appreciate your time for giving me your advices. Thank you in advance.

Dig it all, pulse induction can't be beat for depth. VLF with discrimination, Tesoro Tejon - Good Luck!

More considerations. Do you have a specific "type" of relic you are searching for? If so, what are the ground conditions.
Peace ✌

I love my Tesoro Tejon with dual discrimination for relic hunting.
No fancy screens or meters to distract you.
Just a good, deep seeking, metal detector.
Locate in All Metal mode and then hit the second switch when wanting to discriminate.

songdog, I must respectfully disagree.
Although I love Tesoro machines, I view "fancy" screens and meters necessary at times. They are surely not a distraction, just other tools available.
Sure, sound is key, on all detectors but a VDI/TID screen can and does limit trash retrieval.
Peace ✌

Let's say the type of relic to be from black and coloured metals... silver, bronze, gold stuff... but NOT just coins!

As for the ground, one of the place the soil is loess, the other one has mineralised ground.

If I have to give more info, please let me know.

Thank you, I do appreciate your time...
