Why Buy a Metal Detector and What to Buy

RED BANK, N.J. - March 27, 2013 - PRLog -- When buying a detector there are several factors to look at. How much do you wish to spend? Detectors can range in price from $179 to $1800.00. The more money spent the more electronic features it will give you. But...it means more adjustments and more time learning the machine.A basic machine will be great for that part time use at a beach or park. If you want to spend more time at this hobby then the suggestion is to spend more money to get the features you want.

Metal detectors will detect any kind of metal whether it be gold, silver, pop tabs, and just any kind of metal trash. Most have a discrimination adjustment and sensitivity control. Additional features may include various types of meter displays, a manual ground balancing adjustment, tone id and more. Some detectors may be micro-processor controlled.

I usually suggest for an adult to spend between $300 and $700 so as not to be bored with the detector too quickly. If you are buying for a child then $179 to $300 is fine.

Also you would have to think about the accessories to go along with the detector.You should think about buying some of the following items, such as a headphone with volume controls, trowels, beach scoops, and a coil cover. Good headphones are especially important since they extend the sound of the signal, make your detector's batteries last longer, and keep the beeping from annoying others.
