Minelab xterra, Whites DFX, Notka Makro Simplex. Folks the price don’t mean everything, the question is are you willing to put in the time to learn the machine, experience will pay off I guarantee it.

I finally got around to asking this, look answering respect if they work or not. Let’s see other than metal detector machines, what with this rods that people stick in ground to find ferrous or non items, simply saying there’s active ingredients in the ground such as silver or gold. With sticks, look what’s the length person goes to expensive or not to identify relics or treasure thanks for being open minded, I’d try mostly anything that my detecting skills can’t go further in recognition

I know a lot of bottle hunters use a probe,a long say 1/4 or 5/16 inch rod with a cross piece welded on top to make a T-bar.Push it in the ground at the suspected location and if it hits glass it makes a unique sounding thump.I don,t know anything about dowsing,but I believe there,s a forum for that on here. Hope this helps you.
