Been thinking of buying one, had one as a kid and had fun with it. I know next to nothing about them. Would be used for general messing around in Ohio... Relics, coins etc...
Well, the general idea is you walk around holding it a few inches off the ground and it'll beep at you, alerting that there's something metal below it. :D
Whites makes good products. Garretts make some good ones too. Mine Labs are the top of the line but you are paying a lot more for one.
I've had 2 Whites detectors. My first was a DFX and my one now is the V3 Spectra. There are a bunch of them out there, but as with any of them - you get what you pay for. You can't go wrong with any of the bigname brands, they are all good. Whites, Minelab, Garrett, Fisher. A great place to do business with is Kellyco. Real great people to deal with. It's definately a cool and addicting hobbie. I' found some pretty cool stuff with mine. My oldest coin was a 1797 Large Cent. I also found a United States Mail lock from 1812. Here's a few pics. Take care Dave
Dang... not only is Chenago Dave a falconer.... he's also next up on the TV show "Gold Fever". LOL Those are some very cool artifacts you found Dave. What's going on with the bird this year. Didn't hear alot during the Wabbit season. The new bird not work out or what?
Only got three rabbits a 4 squirrels , but a boat load of mice. The problem this year was we didn't have any snow cover. Everytime we'd go out she would end up getting mice - after a couple of them in her belly she would be fat and happy and just watch rabbits run by. When there's snow cover , you don't see the mice - hence the better rabbit and squirrel hunting. Will be trapping a new one for this year come September. Hopefully we'll have some snow this winter.
