Hey everyone,

[OU812]

Need some info,

What is the top three detectors for gold,silver and like rings and coins ??

Any info would be great.
Thanks
Have a good one.

There really is no top 3, more like top dozen at least.... Tell us more about your budget, where and what kind of hunting you will do... Water, land, both?

Hey �� OU812!
What TH said, up �� there x2.
Narrow your variables a bit. You will then receive a varied response.

Peace ✌

Lol sorry guys,
I'm along the Atlantic coast,
New Brunswick,Canada
Beaches,hills, rocky areas,
I would like to try some water ways and rivers,creeks woods,
And lots of potential homesteads and farm land.

Waterproof and durable,
Really good depth.

Budget is $600 to $1000

Hope this helps, what do you guys think of these?

Minelab
Garrett
Fisher

This will be my first detector as well so, I need something that gives great results too.

If need be I can go a bit higher in price.

I hunt lots of very old river banks and other historic areas that have some very deep finds. I bought a Teknetics T2 SE and after about 16 months I couldn't be happier. This was the first machine ive ever had. The Fisher F75 SE is awesome too. I have both now

You will not touch the top detectors with that budget. But, you can find a great detector that will work for you with the time put in to learning whatever you get.

 

[mikeraydj]

Fisher F75, Minelab Etrac, White's V3I. Can get anyone of those used in that price range.

 

[OU812]

Right on,
Thanks a lot guys appreciate the advice.

Note that the F75 (hell of a detector) is only waterproof from the coil to the display stalk; 30" or so. You can put rain covers on the display and battery case but they are not immersable. Unless you have a mask you can't dig any deeper than that, anyhow. ;-)

Don't know about the others mentioned.

Get a Minelab explorer II. It's deep, and retains respectable TID to the deeper depths of its reach. I'm sure there's machines that a) go deeper. And b) have better ability in trash/iron. However, it's a question where ....... when anyone asks about "depth", you have to ask: "At what cost?". Because machines that might go deeper, or fare better in iron/trash, may lack reliable TID (you might get fooled by iron a lot, or you may be at a disadvantage when TID comes into play - like park turf, where you might have to be more .... uh ... "selective" of what you choose to chase, versus pass). Or some machine reknowned for deeper depths, hit a brick wall in soils that are more mineralized.

But all in all, the explorer II (or any of the various incarnations) are good all around coin/relic machines.

The learning curve is steep though! The sounds of the flock of sick geese will drive you nuts at first. Hook up with a proficient user, to trade off flagged signals. That's the only good way to learn that machine (saves a lot of time in the learning curve)

Minelab Exterra 705 is a great machine. Look into it.

I just found one of these for $275 and consider detectors such as this as best bang for the buck in the hobby.
