Hello everyone!
I'm brand new to the metal detecting world. I am in the market to purchase my first detector. I thought I'd start on TreasureNet and see if I could get some advice.
I have several questions that I hope you won't mind answering for me. (If this post should be in a different section, my apologies ahead of time)
My budget is about $500.
Which brands are good for coin hunting? Buttons? etc.
Which detector is an all around good choice for weekly use?
What accessories do I want and which brands? I've seen videos of guys using what looks to be a probe that they stick in the hole to pinpoint the coins, etc.
I've heard that discrimination is important but I've also heard that tuning some of the detectors out there can take a college degree, haha! I'd like one that has somewhat of an easy learning curve.
I'm sure I'll have more questions at some point. Thanks for the help!
