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.

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.

I have used metal detectors for some years and needed a backup when I purchased this used metal detector off Ebay. I was pleased to find that with a little work it performs nearly as well as my main detector that cost in excess of $900. The specs given with the product are understated as the unit performs better than that in most situations. Perhaps the maker was honest enough to quote specs at the lowest possible end to allow for manufacturing variability. Either way, it is a keeper.
Have you ever fantasized about finding buried treasure in your backyard, on the beach or while just walking down the road? How do we really know what’s buried beneath our feet? What if there’s riches underneath us right now? There’s only one way to find out. First, you should learn how to use a metal detector. That’s right. Metal detectors are a great way to uncover that which we cannot see. You really don’t know what you’ll find until you begin looking. You just have to get your hands on a metal detector. There’s no reason, though, to spend a lot of money on one. You can always get a used metal detector; until you become accustomed to using one, and hopefully after you’ve already found a good amount of buried treasure.
If your new to metal detecting starting off with a used detector can save you a lot of money or it can cause you a lot of headaches. Stick to a name brand detector Fisher, Whites, Tesoro, Bounty Hunter or Garrett. You can find lots of free helpful advice online for these models.
Best Used Metal Detector Sources
One way to go about getting a good used metal detector is at a pawn shop. Pawn shops are notorious for having these sorts of items. It should only take a few minutes to call around to the various pawn shops in your area to see if they have used metal detectors. If you can’t find them at the local pawn shops, try the internet. There are many online resources you can try to find used metal detectors. You can try free classified ad sites such as Craigslist.org, you can try Ebay, or any of the other online auction sites. Once you get your hands on a used metal detector, you just have to become proficient in using one and then you can get to hunting.

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.
