What Kind of Metal Detector?

[HunterJill]

I have a 15 acre lot in Ohio and I want to start looking for treasure! I have a few questions.

What is a good brand of metal detector that is light weight and will find what I want to find. Also not too expensive. What features do I need to look for?

Where on the property should I look? It is a big ravine and creek...

Thanks!

Welcome from White Plains, New York. Hold on to your hat, because you are about to get A LOT of different opinions. I suggest a detector that you can manually ground balance, and is light enough to swing all day.I suggest the Tesoro Vaquero Tesoro Metal Detectors - Official company web site with metal detector models for treasure hunting land or water. for these reasons, and the fact that it is very eay to use, American made, and has a lifetime warranty.

Welcome HunterJill,

There are a lot of choices depending on where you detect and what you want to find. A couple of entry level detectors to consider are the Fisher F2 or Garrett Ace 250. These are affordable and tell you what type of metal and what depth the target is.
