Metal Detector Suggestions

[BenGatesJr.2010]

Hello all! I'm a new treasure hunter who's looking to expand his arsenal of treasure hunting tools from a shovel and lot's of determination to actual tools. I think that a metal detector would be the logical start. Anyone have any suggestions on inexpensive metal detectors?

there is a cheap one on ebay. Some Serbian guy.
using a 1 meter and 2 meter coils.
they are dirt cheap compared to similar large coil detectors.

I have two but never used them. So how good they work you'll have to research.

these are meant for bigger objects.
you won't find coins with them.
they look similar to this type of detector

Good luck sir.
I hope you find something good.

Checked them out and ill say don't hold your breath expecting them to perform anywhere near a brand detector.
They look like cheap crap.

Thank you!

Hi mate. Don't buy a cheapy non known, there's a reason the guys here use proper detectors and not the cheap junk. Buy a known brand with proven performance.

What would be a good large coil.
1 meter plus, that you would recommend.
Under 1k.

I don't know of any in that range. Maybe you guys do.
He didn't say, But I think he is looking for something 6 feet deep.
