What's the best Metal Detecting magazine to subscribe to?

... but W&ET is full of good tips and detector info. Try both - the'yre on-line.
 
Lost Treasure has lots of stories on possible hidden caches which makes interesting reading , unfortunately none of the stories within 1000 miles of where I live. Also some info on finding gold and valuable gems. western and Eastern Treasure has more tips on using metal detectors and finding promising detecting sites in your local area. They both make for good reading , but if I had to choose one I probably take western and eastern treasure.Luckily my Dad found me a box full of old issues of both magazines at an auction that he only paid a couple of bucks for. A good treasure find if you ask me because they have [rovided me with valuable tips and hours of enjoyable reading and I haven't even made it through all of them yet. Happy Hunting , Craig
 
I've been a subscriber to LT (Lost Treasure) for a few years now. I think I'll subscribe to W & E too. That is a another great mag. Don't forget about American Digger and if you look online there are a slew of others to choose from depending on what your forte is in hunting.
 
Add my vote for W&ET if you only have the funds for one, but Lost Treasure is worthwhile as well.

Lost Treasure is glossy and more attractive to look at, but I find a higher percentage of articles and items I really enjoy in W&ET.

Thanks to king-ghidorah for bringing American Digger to my attention. I'd never heard of it, but it looks like a magazine I'd enjoy.
 
I agree with Marcomo about LT and Western & Eastern Treasures.

If you are really into relic hunting, especially civil war stuff, then you should check out American Digger. It is even more glossy and eye-catching than LT, but LT and W & E Treasures both cover a broader spectrum of treasure hunting. I subscribed to American Digger for 1 year (200:geek:. Probably 70-80% of articles/photos in American Digger have to do with with civil war relics with majority of the remainder about bottle digging, native american artifacts, slave tags,etc. --- not much in the way of coins, jewelry, beach/water hunting, or prospecting.

I tried American Digger because I was getting a little bored with LT. I use to really like LT because it had a variety of hunting styles represented each month, but then they got cute and thought it was great marketing to have each month be a "focus" issue -- you know, one month everything is about gold prospecting, another month is all about beach hunting, another month it's coinshooting, etc. Well, we don't have opportunities for spanish fleet gold or gold prospecting where I'm located, and I can't afford to travel to take part in those, so those months were a waste for me. As a coinshooter, I liked it better when I could count on at least one coinshooting article in each edition and I bet the beach hunter or prospector did not care for an all coin-shooting month either. To me it makes more sense to try to have something for everyone in nearly every edition. Anyone else feel the same way?

I guess it's down to just Western & Eastern Treasures for me unless someone has another mag that they can recommend.
