<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 164867, member: 4552"]Actually so much depends on the area you are planning on searching for metals or coins. I've bought a few from Walmart that work great in remote areas such as a farm or forest preserve in remote areas. I bought my son a cheapy from Walmart that he used on farms in Wisconsin and they worked fantastic. However, people I know that have paid hundreds and try in our urban areas just get signals as soon as they turn them on. For example areas near the Chicago River in the downtown are are so full of metal garbage a metal detector mayas a well be a garbage detector and should be pointing to the residents on lower Wacker Dr. In our forest preserves near the big city areas, same thing. To many bottle and can tops in the ground. As I said so much depends on where you plan on using one. I suggest you first try a reasonable one just in case you loose interest as so many I know have and now there is this thing sitting there waiting for a garage sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
