See real user reviews and ratings + features, specifications, prices and Images of recent metal detectors on the market
One should keep in mind that some of the "new" metal detector models may not represent the cutting-edge technology even though they may look very advanced.
In this section, you will be able to read Reviews and Ratings given by real users, compare Features, Specifications and Prices of metal detectors, and see their Images - all information to help you choose the right metal detector for your metal detecting hobby.
Please do not hesitate to contribute by leaving a review if you have already used any metal detector listed above. Your opinion would be valuable to many hobby enthusiasts!
Plus, this is a great opportunity for you to let the manufacturer of your metal detector know what improvements should be made to ensure the most effective search. All metal detector manufacturers read these reviews regularly!
The latest detectors may not even match the performance of older machines that have earned a high reputation over the years. If operated by experienced detectorists, even some of the simpler old machines can still compete with today's advanced detectors.
Another thing to consider is that if you wish to make good finds in areas that have been searched frequently and intensively over the last decade, truly up-to-date metal detectors are your only choice.
My point is that metal detecting 10 years ago was quite different from what it is now, i.e. nowadays one must spend much more detecting time to find a dozen of decent finds than a decade ago.
In My Metal Detectors section, you may also find some useful and interesting information in my reviews and descriptions of metal detectors I used to have or still employ for my treasure hunting projects. Most of them may seem outdated compared to the latest metal detectors on the market today, however, they are still widely used by treasure hunters around the world.
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information on that manufacturer and its products, or the manufacturer is known for producing either gimmicks based on outdated technology or feeble semblances of reputable metal detectors, or its metal detectors are poorly built from cheap materials in Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe.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!
