New to detecting

Is a RadioShack Discovery 2000 any good to use??? Thanks

I had one of those. There's a much better deal.

If you are willing to spend $22 more, you can get a quality

metal detector that you can not grow out of. The better

quality of materials is obvious. It has the industries best

life time warranty.

I got mine used for $70 and it has paid for itself many many

times over. Can not beat it for gold fewelry.

Tesoro Compadre. $152 brand new. You can get package

deals and free shipping.

But,,,,,,,,,,,,You have to learn to do it. No machine will do it

by itself. But I am living proof of it's abilities and [size=large]mine[/size].
Happy Hunting,

I got this one at the flea market for $20.00 just to play with to see what I could fine. I may have to buy a good one later. Thanks

Hay Ike,

the Discovery 2000 is a coin magnet.

It has a lot of performance and features

that make it fine for relic hunter also.

I did not mean that the 2000 is not a good machine.

But there are better ones. Most have much higher prices.

Ther 2000 will hold it's own even compared to some models

costing much more.

Give it a chance and learn.

You can find neat stuff and learn at a cost of $20.

I think you are on a good coarse.

It's more improtant how experienced your are with the machine

than how good the machine is.


Happy Hunting,

I wouldn't get one that cheap. If its under 20 bucks that tells u something.

Hey, if it gets you out and finding things, then its a good machine. If you want to find things a bit deeper, you are going to have to spend between $150-$200. I have an Ace 250 and I love it. I am finding all kinds of things, look below to see my finds.
