[nam1969]

Looking for a detector turn it on and lets go. needs to have depth and numerical value .. price range is $ 300-500 . will use for coin and relic hunting thanks Semper Fi

I'd try to get a used MXT.
To me the best all around turn on and go machine in the market,
covered by best service one can get.
IMHO

White's M6. Same as the MXT but without the Prospecting mode. It also has tome ID that the MXT doesn't have. You have to move up to the MXT Pro to get tone ID. The M6 is turn on and go simple and is an excellent coin and Jewelry detector.

Most definitely m6 if strictly want a simple turn on and go, slightly more than turn on and go, mx5 I have both and tend to grab the 5. Semper fi, one shot.....

M6 does fit all those requirements and its a pretty good detector heaps of coil options only minus for me is no back light.

Any good modern keypad target ID machine that will store your previous settings in memory.
Or a good modern target ID knob and switches machine you can leave set.

You never used one, did you?

Not sure if your remark was focused on my typo or the fact that you consider two tones as tone ID. Even White's doesn't call the two tones of the MXT "Tone ID". I've had and used numerous MXT's, MXT Pros, and M6's.

Hi Nam1969,
This is kind of a no-brainer right now. You can get a brand new T2 Classic for $499 or a brand new F75 STD for $500.

If anyone of those fit into your budget its a waste of time to look at anything else.

Oh, that's my fault. May be reading isn't my thing at all.
7-tone ID, 2-tone ID, TONE ID - so where's the border...?
From what I "see" in the manual on that so called page "15" are the "words" "Two Tone ID".
But what do I know.

Sorry for putting my mustard to this thread.

Oh, I see, you've been a whites dealer, and now you aren't anymore?
What happened?

DETAILS

The MXT All Pro is a slightly more modern take on the legendary performance and simplicity of the MXT line. The all-new keypad, high-efficiency backlight, Tone ID, and Ground Grab settings lock are just some of the responses to customer feedback on one of the most popular metal detectors of all time. The 10″ DD comes standard, and is well-suited to all-around hunting and highly mineralized ground.

Teknetics Eurotek Pro. $300.00 free shipping new with 5 year warranty. Best detector new for the money. Depth meter, 3 tones and the ability to cut the iron audio down or completely off. Have put it up against several machines that cost of twice as it does and came out smelling like a rose. Go try one.

I agree with Tim...the Eurotek Pro is also very light.

Any of the Teknetics suggested, depending on what you want to spend, if you're buying new.

Tesoro Cibola if you can live without bells and whistles will do as well as any for your intended uses, imo. Felt like I had to suggest this one.

If you feel okay with a used detector that can do well for what you're looking to do - there was a recently posted used Teknetics G2+ in the $400 range, I believe.
It would be one you could turn on and go, but, also you could grow into it as you learn more.

For turn on and go machines in this price range, I would look at the:

Fisher F2
Garrett ACE 300 or 400
Bounty Hunter Land Ranger
Whites Coinmaster Pro

I've had lots of success with Whites machines, but have used all kinds.

Happy Hunting!
