Any of you use metal detectors? What is a good entry level unit? My sons birthday is coming up soon and he has expressed an interest in doing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Want!
What's your budget? A really nice one can be had for 5 bones.
You trying to get rid of one?

I prefer the x-ray scanners. Giggity.
I've had a White for years. They have some good entry level stuff, and some nice high end stuff, too. The thing I like about them is you can swap out the coils to match the soil condx, and the type of treasure you are looking for. They also hold their resale value if you want to upgrade. I really like mine.

The Bounty Hunter Lone Star is a decent detector. You can get one for 150-200 dollars. Not too fancy, but with enough features to get the job done.

No sir, sorry. I am not. I have been studying them on and off for the last 8 years. One of the greatest ground hounds I ever met, found a large bore mortar near the beach at Myrtle Beach a few years ago. It didn't make the news because being ex military, he knew the stink it would raise if he went to the popo with it not even considering the rectal exam they would have put him through.Originally Posted by NA4BH
His level of circuit discrimination surpassed even the best amateur extra who made a career out of electronics RF and otherwise except for Fred.
Metal detector:
Magnetic trunk mount magnet is a plus.
ETA: and is the way I tell people to look for roofing nails in their yards after the work is done.
