I didn't want to hijack that other metal detector question/suggestion thread by another member by asking my own question on it. So I made another one for my own question. What would be a good metal detector suggestion for a price range between $500 - $800?
I would go with either the Minelab Vanquish line or Equinox. Depending how much you want to tinker. The Equinox has more adjustability, if that is something you want.
