<p>[QUOTE=&quot;New Windsor Bill, post: 2596691, member: 78123&quot;]Hello, if you wanted to try Metal Detecting I would recommend a machine that has a good discriminator so you don&#039;t have to dig up all the unwanted junk like pull tabs, bottle caps, foil etc., you would be able to tune these things out via discrimination. Next&nbsp; I would also tell you to get one that will id what you are digging up. A good machine will tell you nickle, dime, quarter, penny, silver, gold etc. Also a good machine will be able to pinpoint exactly where the object is and also tell you how deep. You can get a top of the line machine that used to sell for lets say $1000. like a Whites DFX for $300.-$400. on places like ebay. This particular machine has an LCD display and you can make all kinds of adjustments , I own one and it is awesome. Do a search and look at the reviews of people that own them. As far as digging tools; a good strong garden spade and if you wan&#039;t to save your back and knees they make a shovel that clips onto your belt with a holder that is made for metal detectorists, sorry I can&#039;t think of the name of that shovel but it is great. As far as digging the finds out of the ground; always pinpoint the coin or ring and make a tight circle around it so when you pull the grass out it is like a plug. After you recover the object you put the plug back and there is no damage. Always respect any public place like a park this way unless you are out in the woods or something like that. I will tell you this much, I own 4 higher end machines and I made one find last year with my whites dfx that has paid for all of my equipment. Its a great hobby, I love it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
