Need advice

[csa28]

I have several new place to hunt where i have found the footers to the old house's. I have read lots of tech on the diffrent detectors but just cant make my mind up. i will have around 600 bucks to spend. What i really want is something that can locate relics or coins around 1ft. doesnt have to have a fancy touch screen or a huge coil. i just wana go deep. any advice would be so helpful becasue i am almost brain dead from reading...thanks a bunch...

Tesoro Tejon works good around cellar hole type sites. It's a no frills machine that doesn't even have a screen to lie to you. It won't find coins a foot deep unless you run in true all metal mode though. And around old home sites there's too much stuff in the ground to run in all metal. Just remember old is not always deep. The cellar holes I work are in the woods and stuff I find is not deep at all. The deepest coin I found was maybe five inches. The most shallow and oldest coin (1795-97) was less than two inches! A true all metal machine will give you more depth and sensitivity to small targets. There is a difference between all metal and zero discrimination. If you really want depth consider a machine that has a true all metal mode. But, be aware that to run in a true all metal mode the site has to be fairly clean and the machine needs to be balanced. Plus, in all metal you can't discriminate. You dig it all. That's when the relics start coming out of the ground.

All major manufacturers have their top of the line detectors. All are out of your price range. And to be honest a foot on a coin sized object would be very difficult to pull off. Especially if your dirt is highly mineralized. You will get some answers from people who have good results with their detectors. But I will also be the first of many who tells you that the way to get the most out of your detector is to spend time with it. So now with that stuff out of the way I will mention two detectors that get good reviews from relic hunters that fall into your price range. The new Garrett AT Pro and the Tesoro Tejon. Read up on them. Ask a dealer.

Oh cmon swartzie my T2 id's perfect with unbelievable target seperation and found things at 14 inches

Best detector in the world i would have to say if you take the time to learn it at the 0 disc mode...
I mean in this day in age with technology you gotta have a screen
