I`m looking at getting into MD and live in the Conway/Myrtle Bch.S.C area.First ,could anyone give me some input on what MD is best choice for the money .Second,are there any local clubs in my area? Thanks,Bassstrat
how much money? what kind of hunting do you plan to do? (coinshooting, relic hunting, prospecting,beach hunting). there are a lot of good machines out there, but none that do it all perfectly.perhaps we can narrow it down a little.
I would probably be looking more for coins/relics,but maybe some beach hunting.I live in a old "River Town"that has lots of history and have found lots of old bottles along the river,but I live just a few miles from Myrtle beach.Thanks,Bassstrat
Bass, I am no expert by a longshot and am kinda new to this site. I owned a bounty hunter and and old old whites machine for several years. The price was too good to pass down at the time...30 bucks invested in both. I piddled around with them and found a few coins and heaps of trash. It didn't discourage me so I did quite a bit of research on detectors in the price range I could afford...which with a son at the College of Charleston...didn't leave a lot left over. I ended up getting a Garrett Ace 250....I got it Wed night and of course had to try it out right away. Took it to the front yard with a screwdriver and flashlight and found a quarter and 2 pennies.....I know i have been over the yard a 1000 times with the older ones. It was $212 and I think I made the right choice for the money.....U might want to check out the forums on all the machines. A lot of great reviews. The best of luck to you.
