Hi all,
I'm in the process of researching metal detectors after being away from the hobby for about 30 years. Things sure have changed! I live in central Penna in an area rich in historical value, (Native Americans, Timber camps, early settlers, PA canal system, etc.) I won't be "prospecting" for gold, but will want to search for pretty much everything else.
I'm coming into some retirement money, so can re-enter the hobby with an "upper end" machine (~$1000?).
Open question to anyone and everyone:
What MFG and model would you choose, given my situation? I have the time and motivation to work up a learning curve. The White DFX looks nice, but the technology has not changed in 4 years (I asked the mfg). Minelab's Explorer II and Quatro look neat, too. Garret machines seem to be very popular.
HELP PLEASE?
Larry
