If you are not sure yet what type of metal detector may be the most suitable for you in general or for your specific metal detecting tasks, you may want to read my article on

Types of Metal Detecting Activities
where you will see which metal detectors and equipment are required for each particular type of metal detecting activity, whether it is land or underwater treasure hunting.
You may also find some useful information in my reviews on metal detectors I used to have or still employ for my treasure hunting projects. In My Metal Detectors section, I reviewed and described the following metal detectors: Fisher F75+ (my article/review is coming up), Teknetics T2+ (my article/review is coming up), Teknetics G2+ (my article/review is coming up), XP Deus, XP GoldMaxx Power, Minelab E-Trac, Minelab Explorer XS and II Pro, Pulse Star II Pro, Tesoro Cortes, White's XLT, Garrett Ace-250 and Garrett Grand Master Hunter CX-II. Most of them are still widely used by treasure hunters around the world.
If you have already determined the metal detector's exact type, i.e. it incorporates certain features and specifications, according to your likes and needs, but you can not decide on the detector's manufacturer, check this page:

If you would like to visit any particular metal detector manufacturer's website, you can find its link on my link-directory page:
Websites of All Manufacturers of Metal Detectors Worldwide
MY ADVISE: If you do not find the manufacturer's name on that page, it means that I could not find any reliable information on that manufacturer and its products, or the manufacturer is known for producing either gimmicks based on outdated technology or feeble semblances of reputable metal detectors, or its metal detectors are poorly built from cheap materials in Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe. Or the manufacturer simply ceased production. If you are still in doubt, try to do your own research, but you should definitely check the well known, tested, proven and trusted brands first!
