The best all around metal detector is different for almost everyone. Some people like a lot of gadgets and others don’t. Some people use a powerful discrimination metal detector with manual ground balance and discrimination turned way low. They dig a lot of junk but also find a lot of old coins. Until you’ve had a number of detectors you really don’t know what you like or need. Bounty hunter makes a tracker IV ($125.00) that is inexpensive and good. Others do as well. Look at the Garrett Ace 150 and 250. Both are good little detectors. Around $155.00 and $225.00 respectively. They are mostly all good if you learn how to use it.

If you are new to metal detecting or an experienced veteran looking to get some extreme value on a metal detector, the White Metal Detector Prizm V is the one for you. I am going to take an in depth look at the White Metal Detector Prizm V so that you can see the host of features it has and why it is such a great value for you. There are many different things that not only separate the White Metal Detector Prizm V from the rest of the field, but from the White Spectrum Metal Detectors as well.
Why Prizm V Has So Many Happy Users
The White Metal Detector Prizm V features a multitone system that lets you hear instantly whether it is a nail, a ring, or a quarter. The unit has 8 distinct audio tones for each zone that range from very low for nails to very high for silver dollars. To engage this feature just press the multitone button and listen as the White Metal Detector Prizm V tells you what you have hit.
It also has voltage controlled oscillation that will give off a higher pitch as you approach the target. This method is a simple and easy way to pinpoint what you are looking for. You can also disengage this for the traditional volume pinpointing if you prefer.
The White Metal Detector Prizm V features a 950 search coil which is the coil that is standard on all of White’s top of the line search detectors. You can read about this part extensively on White’s website as it is at the core of why their detectors are so popular.
There also is a smart notch feature that lets push a button to filter out certain frequencies. This is very handy if you are in area that has a ton of false positives. You can notch out different zones based on your discrimination setting and after playing with a little bit you will be able to see how truly wonderful this feature is.
The thing that really separates the White Metal Detector Prizm V from the rest of the field though is its price. With manufacturers suggested retail price of $450 you get one heck of a metal detector for about half of what you pay on other websites. White is not some fly by night seat of the pants company, they are an industry leader in the field of metal detection manufacturing and the Prizm is the most product for the least amount of money.

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.
