When searching for used metal detectors, you may have come across names like Garrett or even used Whites and Fisher metal detectors. In my opinion you definitely want to go with a used Garrett metal detector.
Garrett detectors are quality units. I’ve owned a Garrett metal detector since around 1980. It’s a Garrett Master Hunter A.D.S., that is a vlf tr unit. I’ve taken care of it and it still works well and I still use it for Cache hunting and prospecting. Although it requires 6 9volt batteries.
Used Garrett metal detectors will serve your needs nicely. As long as you make sure your used Garrett metal detector works properly, and as long as you know how to use it (they’re not that hard to learn how to use), you’re in for one great time. When you’re out there, scanning the ground with your used Garrett metal detector, you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find. Find jewelry, coins, electronics or all of the above and have a fun time doing it.
Where Should You Look For A Used Garrett Detector?
When people need money, they go to the pawn shop to get cash for their jewelry, their electronics, their guns and even their used metal detectors. If you can’t find any Garrett’s at your local pawn shops, there is always the internet. You can go to Ebay, one of the free classified ad sites, or just do a web search to see if you can find any websites that specialize in offering used items, such as used Garrett metal detectors.

If you are looking for a Seben metal detector review then read on to take an in depth look at the Seben Extreme. This metal detector has many uses and can be used in many different environments, but I do not want to get ahead of myself so read on to see what this Seben metal detector review is all about.
What You Are Looking For?
Plain and simple I am going to get straight to the point of this metal detector review – stay away from the Seben Extreme. There are many other products from Seben that are of a solid quality and construction, but the Seben Extreme is not one among them.
This metal detector is listed as a high performance metal detector. But in my experience I found it to be completely useless. They say that it is used by archaeologists, researchers and other specialists but I have a hard time believing that anyone could find this thing useful.
According to the instructions the Seben Extreme Power has the ability to be adjusted with extremely high precision for each special application. In my experience there was only one application for the Seben Extreme, as a high powered boat anchor. Not only was it heavy and clunky, it bleeped and blooped at odd times and was unable to detect even the most base of metals.
While the manual says that you should be able to adjust the detector for metal of varying types, but I had a hard time getting the metal detector to detect anything. According to what I read it should differentiate these metals on an optical and auditory nature, but I found it impossible to configure and use. The manual says that it can detect metal at depths of up to 2.5 meters in the water, but I find that to be hard to believe considering it was impossible to detect coins on the lawn in my back yard.
Was It Defective?
Maybe the unit I got was defective and I do not want this metal detector review to be completely negative but I really could find nothing positive to say about this unit. Your experience could be completely different from mine. In my opinion, simply stay away. In the machines defense though I never did get in touch with the manufacturer so I can not say for sure if something was wrong with the unit or not, but looking back there probably was. That could seriously skew my bounty hunter metal detector review. Either way, I would never buy one again.

Used Metal Detectors Reviews -
Whites Coinmaster 2900D Trooper

This is a great little detector. This is a picture of my treasure. There was some trash dug – {one large piece of iron at 6 inches, crushed aluminum can and other large pieces of aluminum} as well as 56 cents in coins. One quarter, 3 dimes and a zinc penny. All this in around 25 minutes of very casual hunting.
Since I own one of these I thought I would give you a review of this detector. I had given this detector to my father many years ago for a Christmas present. He really did like it but it wasn’t used a lot. Retirement seemed to keep he and mom traveling in their Rv with little time to use his detector.
The 2900 D as for as I can tell is the same as the 3000D less the meter. I belive White’s calls it a 2900 S3
This past weekend the weather was damp and hot here on the gulf coast of Texas but cooler than it had been in quite sometime so I was thinking about dad and decided me and the 2900D should get reacquainted again.
The 2900 is dead simple to operate. It has 4 control knobs. Each control knob has a (P) Preset marking. Just turn on set and go basically. The four knobs are Tune (sensitivity) , ground balance, discrimination, and a combination volume and on off switch. It uses a single 9volt battery with a low battery indicator light. There is room for a spare battery also. Few inexpensive detectors have a manual ground balance which can come in very handy in some parts of the country. Although the change in volume and sound can help determine whether the target is good or bad it is not as good as say a Tesoro. Using iron discrimination only I have found it to be very good at ignoring small iron and pick up a nickel close by. Some detectors have problems with this.
It also has a Retune button located on the end of the handle. This will retune the detector after changing settings and can also be used to help with pinpointing.
This is another simple inexpensive detector from the early 1980’s that will find just as much or more as a new $500.00 detector. The only difference is you will have to set the discrimination low to keep from loosing rings and nickels and dig more trash. But that’s mostly true with a $500.00 detector also.

I cannot tell you how happy I am with my New Coin Metal Detector. Man, this thing is getting better and better as I learn more about it. I paid less than $160.00 with shipping.
I am not new at coin and metal detecting but I think this Garrett Ace 150 is terriffic. On my first day out, I was really impressed with the performance of the Ace. I turned on the machine, set it in jewelry mode and started searching a local school yard and the results were amazing. I found $2 in clad coins, one wheat penny.
The Best Coin Metal Detector For a Beginner Is;
The Garrett Ace 250 – is a very sensitive machine. I have been surprised many times with the depth that this machine can detect, and with the small size of some of the items it can detect. There have been a few times when the Ace 250 has detected a small item that my pinpointer has had difficulty detecting! It’s quite impressive.
The Ace 250 is feature-rich, but very easy to use. It has several discrimination modes that you can choose from, and it allows you to program a custom one of your own. There is a sensitivity control that allows you to adjust the detectors’ sensitivity for the ground conditions in your area. The Target ID on the display will give you a good idea of what type of target you are detecting, and the depth display will tell you the approximate depth of the target.
Pinpointing with the Ace 250 is quite simple and accurate. I hold down the pinpoint button, and do an X over the target area, as described in the manual. The open coil allows you to see the edge of where the tone starts to drop out on sides, front and back of the target. Imagine the center point of these edges and that is where the target will be.
One must-have option for the Ace 250 is the 4.5” Sniper coil. With the Sniper coil, you can detect targets between trash items. You can also get very close to large metal objects, such as playground equipment and fences. This allows you to find targets that others cannot with their larger, less capable coils. An Ace 250 with a Sniper coil is an awesome combination.

The improvements in technology have corresponded inversely to the number of people using them. Metal detecting for gold as well as treasure has become very popular. Erosion during the past century has exposed millions of tons of virgin substrata for prospectors of today, and metal detectors will increase the chance of discovering new placers.
There’s no better expert on metal detector technology than Garrett. Great as those detectors are, they require some training to use them. Garrett provides the best ‘how-to’ advice available. His book will give you the straight-forward means to practice with it before you begin trekking into the canyons or sweeping old school yards for coins.

Another story from the UK
Keith Bennett was using his metal detector on a Stratford farm owner’s field when his metal detector suddenly alerted him of a strong signal. This strong signal turned out to be over 1,400 Roman coins (or Denarii as they were called back in the day) dating back between 2006 BC to 195 BC! The coins have already been deemed “authentic treasure” which is good in case someone was trying to play a big practical joke on Mr. Bennett.
The silver Roman coins were stashed in a large pot (4 feet deep) that was broken on the top half. It seems as though the pot had been struck when the field was being plowed, causing a few coins to be scattered around the pot. Since this was a rather large collection of coins, it is possible that they could be tied to a wealthy land owner back in Emperor Augustus (or perhaps earlier) reign.
This treasure is expected to bring in tens and thousands of pounds, and Mr. Bennett supposedly allowed to keep half; I can only imagine the sensation of coming across such a historic find. As you can imagine he was quite stunned as you can reflect from his words:
“I just had an incredible feeling of history and going back in time. I felt a sense of connection with the person who buried these coins all those years ago. I wondered who they were and why they didn’t come back for it. It was brilliant – an experience everyone should have.”
Learn how to do it and you still mightn’t find gold treasure who knows, but you’ll certainly find the greatest treasure of them all: solitude.
