The Beginner in the art of metal detecting is usually the most confused and worried person on the planet. The beginner tends to worry about which metal detector he/she needs at a price that they can live with. Metal detecting is fun and adventurous, but before spending a lot of money on a specialized metal detector you should first try a general purpose metal detector and learn the ins and outs of the art of metal detecting.
My first choice would be an all general purpose metal detector like the Detectorpro Pirate. This unit is affordable, easy to operate, light weight, and fits easily in your car. You can use it to hunt in the rain, saltwater, freshwater, and land. You can do it all. This unit gives you more for your buck. Another great choice is the Garrett Ace 250 it has five discrimination buttons you can use. I also recommend that you become familiar with most aspects of metal detecting before investing in a more expensive metal detector.
Beginners will sometimes buy the most expensive and hard to operate metal detector thinking that if they get a detector that is loaded they will have more finds, ...
... but this is simply not the case. Start with an all purpose metal detector then gradually graduate to the more sophisticated ones. If you conclude that you would rather hunt for gold nuggets for example, The Garrett Scorpion Gold Stinger would be the ideal choice. Its world renowned 15 KHz ground circuitry and it has the power to penetrate heavily mineralized soils to locate nuggets, placer, float and ore veins.
One other thing that is a must for the beginning metal detectorist is a reliable probe. The DetectorPro Pistol Probe metal detector is by far the best probe in the market today. It is able to pinpoint a coin at an incredible five to six inches in depth.
Be a responsible hunter, respect other people’s property and always ask for permission to hunt in someone else’s property. Happy hunting y’all.
