<p>[QUOTE="Old Silver, post: 147684, member: 4686"]The cheaper models work well in good conditions and when not in "dirty" ground. The difference comes into effect when searching in areas with much junk metals and "hot rocks" present in the ground. Cheaper detectors have a hard time distinguishing between true and false readings thus you pretty much have to investigate every hit. With the more expensive, top-line units these false items can be tuned out so only the better items are detected and junk like pull tabs are over-looked enabling you to do more time finding than searching. One big factor is that the more expensive units will also go much deeper and many have built-in "pin pointers" to help find the treasure after you start digging. My whites has a digital readout that tells you what it is seeing, even down to the denomination if its a coin and pretty accurately too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
