Hi Goldman 55, sounds as if you may be new to the hobby, so let me welcome you with a bit of info that you evidently are not aware of concerning Metal Detectors. Technology has to a point ground to some what of a halt , though some will argue with that to the point of heated argument. That in of itself should convince you there is need for much more to be looked into about what is new, And Old, on the present market and what is hoped (?)to be offered in the future. Good question now, and your guess will be as good as any predictions you get. It is a toss up and many are waiting for things new to pounce on soon as they appear. For you new guys, the first thing you need to become aware of is to be very wary, and not become impatient and buy the newest, biggest and baddest ,deepest, see all tell all detector that you are told to be all of those things. Ain't so , and if it possibly is,only time will prove it to be so,AND they will most certainly want more $$$ for it than any "sane" new guy would ever need to pay to get into and enjoy the hobby. Hang loose and do some intent study and plenty more questions for folks on all the forums. It will save you some $ and you will enjoy the hobby much more with whatever detector you decide on.HH, Charlie

This is good advise.
The best kind of machine to begin with can vary from person to person. If you are the type that enjoys learning, get a box that has at least mid-range performance. Small patience level....go towards the quality lower end ones to start with. I have the "best stuff".Been doin' it forever...... sure wouldn't sick it on a newb/ with little patience (who has yet to realize he is the actual detector and has yet to learn trust in himself). If a person is a real self starter? Still.....choose a quality mid range. Once learned, they kick butt and if you upgrade from them, much smoother transition. Study so you don't get sucked into a machine that's not a good match for you to begin with and to keep things "real"? Can't tell you how many hunts that the only "treasure" I bring home is learning my machine a little better. And it IS good.
Thinking back.......... almost every single advanced detectorist (I've talk to or hunted with) eyes light up when asked about his favorite "simpler" machine.

Great advice Charlie. I think its kind of leap frog right now between coils, headphones and machines. They are all getting crazy expensive. Companies seem to be playing follow the leader... i put a large coil on so so do they... right now. There are a lot of good buys on older or even newer detectors right now. Like was said they didnt do their home work and went for advertising over research. Know what you want to do with it and pick one that fits your needs.
