<p>[QUOTE=&quot;digger, post: 36377, member: 1827&quot;]All detectors can find coins, You just need to be in the right place. I used a Whites Quantum XT for a couple years and then on my way to a beach I heard this awful loud steady tone. It was my detector and I had left the batteries in. It would not shut off and I had to pull the battery cartridge out. It has not worked since that time. So I guess I&#039;m telling you this so you may concider buying one that has a good warranty, or is cheap enough that you won&#039;t feel devistated if it breaks. I have not bought another one since, but I think I am about to. I really miss the hobby!</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I was very pleased with its performance and accuracy. It did not pay for itself&nbsp; even though I found tons of coins. The cost of batteries is to blame. All the fancy options give you a better idea of what&#039;s in the ground and help you decide to dig or not. Yes they really can distinguish between trash and treasure. If I were thinking of buying another one I would choose one that can be used in the water or on land. I forget which brand, But I know I read about it some time ago and they offer a lifetime warranty. </p><p>&nbsp;Depth is not important unless you expect to be diggin for that rare cache buried 2 feet down. Most don&#039;t go very deep and they will find plenty of silver in the first few inches of topsoil. If you can afford the best get it but for a first timer I would only get a midrange detector until you get some experience. You will have plenty of stuff to dig no matter what you choose to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy hunting!</p><p>Digger[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
