Before you buy

Three questions that pick your detector

  1. What are you after? Coins and jewelry, gold nuggets, deep caches, or water. Each points to a different technology.
  2. What is your ground like? Salt beaches and mineralised goldfields need multi-frequency or pulse induction.
  3. How much will you use it? A $300 detector that gets used beats a $3,000 one in the closet.
