Stop !!! Do you really need that 8, 9 even 1100, or 1,400 dollar detector.
Simple answer is no you don't.
Todays detectors even the 250 range, and under really work very well.
The one thing that is going to mandate the big expensive detectors is Do you want it or not.
If you want it, get it.
If you, like the most of us just detect for a hobby, have no real great places for detecting...Local Parks, Schools, Beaches, and hopefully an old house or two
You can spend way more than you need too.
The high end detectors require high end places for detecting. If you do not have those places open to you..then whats the point of buying a detector you will never use all the things on it..... Simple can be very good....So think about it, look em all over and choose wisely...
If you run out and buy a over $1,000.00 dollar detector..You are going to expect $1,000.00 dollar finds....and the truth is unless you stumble across a good ring, or rare coin..It just isn't going to happen..You can find both Good rings and rare coins with a reasonable priced metal detector.
I know it's natural for wanting the biggest, baddest, best..but you do not need it for the pleasure of metal detecting.
