sorry no, i haven't found any treasure ... i just had no idea metal detecting was so big.
T
o be polite some introduction and a little background info to start
After loosing my wedding ring after only 3 months of marriage, (probably not a record but close) and then hearing a friend do the same thing, i thought sheesh... this is a common problem. There's no hope of finding mine which is at the bottom of the ocean but his is on the beach somewhere so i start to think about getting a metal detector. Do a search and BOOM! now where do i begin...
Ive searched and read what I can about which specific detector would suit my purposes but as a total newbie i would still kindly ask for some guidance with questions that have probably been asked a thousand times before.
I'm from and live in the Bahamas and my detecting will be 99% beach use.
The sand is , i believe, almost entirely white limestone (calcium carbonate) with a little ground coral thrown in.
There's no clay or iron oxide but i read the salt water has an effect.
I wish to SPECIFICALLY TARGET GOLD AND SILVER JEWELLERY.
i've read Pulse Induction would be the way to go BUT i intend to target high traffic areas which means also there would be a lot of trash and i would be bending over every 5 seconds for a bottle cap. ssooo ...
Recommendations please for an entry level unit? budget... is $300 enough? (i see plenty for under $200 on toptenreviews.com but would the y suit my needs?)
Many thanks for all and any advise in advance,
best regards and happy hunting,
Hogfish
