Decent detector..

[kitkat420]

Hi everyone,
My son is very much into "treasure hunting", have has a toy brand detector that's actually kind of decent, and has shown dedication to hunting etc. I would like to get him an actual detector for Xmas, Nadine have a good recommendation?

Welcome 420 !

What's his age ? & What is the name of the "Toy" ?

I'd suggest minelabs X-Terra
or Garrett 250

if he's still growing.

Just naming these because I know members who use them Like them,
and weight wise they are not bad.

Very happy with my Ace 250

I am new to metal detecting I bought a Whites Coinmaster Pro and happy with it.Whites also seems to have a good reputation and a good forum.

Tesoro Compadre, light, one knob, easy to use, inexpensive and a darn goood detector. It beeps when somethings in the ground, simple.
