Easy to use and accurate

by William E Johnson Jr. in Martin, SC USA -

This unit is easy to use and light weight. The only thing I have against it is the 2 9V batteries are hard to install and run a risk of breaking off the plastic pieces that hold them in.

Batteries Last Forever in This

by Sly in Stratford canada -

This detector will find a spec of tinfoil a foot in the ground. We have found 100s of items with this machine! It is used in rain and snow and always finds stuff.

Works well for the price.

by Tom in Southern California -

This detector is available in the U.S. and sold as the Elite 2200. It's often on sale for $130-$170. I understand it's sold through Radio Shack as the Discovery 2200.
I found that it works well. The three-tone audio signals are easy to interpret, so you have a good idea of the type of target you are about to dig.
I've used it mostly on beaches in Southern California. Pinpointing is pretty easy with practice, but you need a good sand scoop to find targets quickly and sift out the sand.
I did some quick and unscientific comparisons with a Tesoro Silver uMax detector and found that the 2200 isn't as effective at detecting a good target, such as a quarter, when it's next to a junk target, such as a bottle cap or nail. The 2200 doesn't sound off for the good target when the junk is too close. So you\'ll overlook some good stuff sometimes. But for the price difference, it still does quite well.
If you can only afford $130 and you find it for that price, the 2200 is a good choice.
