anyone here own a metal detector? - mrhack - Feb 18, 2018
any suggested specs I should look for? Are anything under $100 good to start with?

for under 100$ i dont think u will get anything better than the apps for phones or the ones they use to search u (the small ones)

That's quite vague. Metal detectors used for security screenings can be thousands of dollars and are generally of very high quality and accuracy.

When I think of metal detector I think of the ones you walk through, which are a lot more than 100$.
You'd want a wand, like this one here: http://amzn.to/2ETTzv4

You can get a handheld one for around the guts of $25. It'll be useful accompanied with a big one. You find it with the big one, and then use the smaller handheld one to dig around the item and get a more precise location.

For sure if you wish to have good results, you need to invest more than 100$$

I think one of the most affordable / powerful balanced detector is the Garrett Ace 250 Pro
I also use a Garret ProPointer, it's a handheld pinpoint metal detector to find items in a hole.
I can find a coin 4 inches down and get it out with a screwdriver without even digging a hole.

I second the Garrett Ace 250. Great detector.
