Learning

Geochem · Dec 11, 2016

Educated in metal detector physics and how they are applied.

Uneducated in the metal detectors: Brands, models, features, nuances of each specific machine.

Semi-retired and just now picking it up as a hobbie. Economic mineral deposits, geochemistry, and soil science experience.

Have read several enlightening post. Ready to learn from everyone.

Greetings from Minnesota! :hello:

Are you more interested in all-the-bells-and-whistles type of detectors or the simpler, less expensive but still totally awesome Tesoro's? Tesoro's are analog and don't have all the extra fluff. BUT, some people don't do well with them.

Welcome from Michigan! As was stated, take the time to find other detectorists in your area and learn from them. That will help with your detector selection.
