Default Re: Metal Detectors

Lynn,

I had a metal detector back in '76, found a lot of great stuff. My neighbor had a Garrett and it performed much better that the brand I had. I think the Garrett brand is one I would still buy today. There was a cable show that had a few guys metal detecting historic sites, they used Garrett detectors. In general the smaller coils are for shallow, smaller objects like coin hunting and the larger coils for deeper large targets.
A good hobby to keep you walking and you never know what you might find. Discrimination is a good feature to have on the metal detectors to separate the ferrous junk from the precious non-ferrous metals.

Good luck,
Mark
