Have about £650 to spend on a metal detector looking for coins gold silver etc what is the best and easiest to use :/?

 

[fella]

I'd recommend a Laser Trident 2 w/12x10 widescan coil(UK version of the Tesoro Vaquero). Should come in quite a bit less than £650. You'd have a deep machine with very fast recovery speed and it's pretty easy to learn.

Thanks for response I was looking at a fisher f75 on eBay yesterday are they any good ?

 

[Jim of PA]

Yes they are a very good detector

 

[mapatrin]

Sorry about this there are so many I'm going mad lol

 

[fella]

F75 and "easiest to use" probably don't go hand in hand.

mapatrin,

I'd have to go with fella's position.....I've got a Fisher F75 it's a more complex machine.....I'd lean toward the Trident he mentioned...starting you want what's called a beep and dig machine with an easy learning curve.

The F75 might frustrate you to no end starting out.

Thanks guys it's so hard as there are so many looking at a fisher 1236 and a xp goldmax ? Online near me second hand

 

[bill from lachine]

Mapatrin,

Don't underestimate what a solid basic machine can find....my everday machine is a Tesoro DeLeon.....I guess the US
version of the UK Trident.....and I do ok....
