Hi everyone, Just watched a video on how different detectors performed on the beach around wet sand. Most of these detectors are what most folks use today. Almost all the emphasis was put on depth performance and stability. Won’t mention which detector had the best depth performance at around $1600.00 retail.
My question is : What are the your key points that you look for when deciding to purchase and use a metal detector?
Following are some key points:
1—depth
2—weight
3—price point
4—functionality
5—easy to use with not all the bells and whistles
6—performance ratings
7—whatever your preference might be
For me, it’s not always about depth, I would rather have one with a good 12” depth tones vs. 20”. I would rather dig 5 targets at 8” instead of 1 target at 20” , especially if the target is trash. I use different detectors in different areas, parks, open fields or beaches, not too worried about depth in parks, just a detector I can set up like I want.
I know we all have different opinions on what we expect from our detectors and just curious what you thoughts and opinions are.
Thanks
