before you spend another dime on detecting equipment....consider this...friggin get a decent jewelers test kit.I recomend the puritest kit on amazon...you get the scratch stone,a jewelers loupe,files,a scale,an electronic diamond tester,wiights to test your scale,all the solutions including platinum.$57.00 u.s.
Soooo many times I see folks wanting to know if,"its silver"etc.You should know as soon as you get home.And believe me...it WILL pay for itself.Just this winter I found several pieces of slag...yup...just slag.Turns out all 7 of em were 90% or better silver.Also I found a crucifix,really cool,with a ships wheel overlaid,was marked 14k italy.MAN was I stoked.Got home and tested it.was brass....heck...are you a treasure hunter or not?
Save up....get it...learn to use it...you wont have buyers remorse I promise.
