Metal Detector?
Does anyone here use a metal detector? I've seen them for sale on CL for anywhere's from $50 to $500 but I have no idea what features to look for. What would you recommend?

I have a White coinmaster I believe.. Cost me around $700
Haven't used it in a while..
The White Line of detectors are the premium brand
Garret is also a top of the line one..
I wouldn't waste any money on the cheapo ones.. They are not as sensitive and will have you digging up anything and everything..
You just don't buy one detector and find treasure..
You also need a small one to help pinpoint the item you find..
It's like this... Bullseye II Pinpointer
You also need a tool for digging and a sifting scoop..
They have specialty detectors for Beach, Gold, and construction detecting..
Another option is they have different sized coils for different depths..
