<p>[QUOTE="Shwine617, post: 1614587, member: 43341"]Over the last summer I was in the same boat as you. You have to look at it as more of a hobby then an investment. Not saying you can't score big, but don't get your hopes up. I bought a Minelab Quattro MP used for $200 during the spring. It was a great deal, but took me a while to learn the detector. Once I did that it was a blast to use. my first real hunting was on a beach in South Carolina and I did very well, but I was hunting for a week straight, probably 2-3 hours a day. Mostly found change and junk. You can filter out iron, but you still get a lot of aluminum bottle caps/tabs. I ended up finding 4 gold rings total which I sold for $450 after price checking a few scrap places. Covered my investment and I was happy, but it was a lot of work. I have since sold my minelab quattro for $600, which was a nice profit as well. I am probably going to try a newer white's next, maybe something underwater.</p><p>Just keep everything in perspective and enjoy it. Good luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
