All hobby metal detectors are toys no matter the price. There is one for all levels,from kids to serious detectors,to electronic gadget enthusiast.They are all made to enjoy and have fun with.I would never belittle someones choice. I bought a Disc 3300 as a backup for my $700.00 machine. I found that the Disc had so many better features it became my favorite machine.Just goes to show you can't always judge by price or brand.

I use a Pioneer 505 and love the many features found on more expensive units.It's very light ,easy to use and adjust .I've dug many deep targets and I am very impressed with its power.I would recommend one to anyone.

I have the Legacy 3300 which apparently is the same as the Discovery. I finally found a place to test it out today - a dirt area that had been plowed clear of snow. It must be a very trashy area because I got a ton of hits. I couldn't find anything close enough to the surface to dig though I didn't spend much time at it. The ground is frozen hard as rock right now in Maine. My Lesche digger bounced right off it. I did get hits all over the scale so it looks like an interesting area to dig. Looking forward to the ground thawing so I can see whats in there. This is on the river front in an area where there used to be a Lebanese community back in the 1800's to mid 1900's. Many people worked at the paper mill across the river. The old "Two Cent Bridge" (a foot bridge) still stands here as a historical site. I want to get down under the bridge below the toll shack to check the ground for dropped coins too. In the meantime I'm getting familiar with the 3300 and from what I'm seeing I think its going to be a very good unit for me.
