<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2083147, member: 17665"]If you do not already have a detector then just a few tips. You do not need to spend big money to have a lot of fun. My Tesoro cost $400.00 and although it does not have a visual meter, you really do not need one. What you are looking for is it's capacity for depth and discrimination. Unless you are going for the ocean you do not need a waterproof coil. You can always get one later if you migrate to water based detection. And if you are adding headphones all you need is decent ones with full ear coverage to drown out ambient noise as all you are listening for is a tone, not playing your latest top 40 tunes. Garret, Whites and Tesoro are all good detectors. A $400.00 price point should get you where you want to go. Kind of like buying a camera, look for about 10 mega pixels but look for a high zoom capacity unless you are going pro. Good luck and happy hunting. Oh, and always cover your digs the way you found them and cart away anything you dig up. It's the detectorist's creed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
