Waving a hand from Florida.

[JavaJoe]

I'm glad to be part of the MetalDetecting Community. My wife & I decided to try out metal detecting, she has never metal detected before but she says she has always wanted to get into the hobby. I myself have been into the hobby but it was a few years back and last week my wife saw a video on youtube and said she like to try, I do have 2 Ace 250's that I had for a few years now and a bounty hunter LoneStar. but I was thinking of sending for a Quest X10 for her she has carpal tunnel in her right wrist, and we both like the way the Quest M/D handles are designed on their detectors. easier on the wrist and shoulder. I myself have been looking at the Quest Q40 it looks like a nice detector and has great reviews.

Welcome from Orlando. Your Wife might want to try a sling for her arm and wrist. It really helped me with my arm after surgery. Seen them on Amazon and eBay. I made my own from a binocular strap and some zip ties.

Yes, WELCOME to Treasure Net...!
Any detector should beep when over metal,
just you need to know what it is telling you...!
So Guess, and THEN dig it up - you learn that way...!
Good Luck and Happy Hunting...!

Simplex is hard to beat for the price. Something to think about.

And the Simplex, collapses down, to a nice small-ish pkg, so you know that there's no limit to adjust-ability, and see if you can get the SP-24 or the 22 coil with the machine, its much lighter.

I also recall that there's a "sling-thingy", that are being used by detectorists, that have shoulder and wrist problems...
It takes a lot of the weight of the machine, and transfers it to neck and back.
I hope you can find it online, if not, someone here on the forum, will help you....
YouTubers...."Mud Dog Mandy....; and the Hoover Boys, use the sling, you'll spot it....
