If you are looking to get into the coin hunting hobby and have your heart set on getting a White metal detector but can not afford one I am here to tell you to not give up. What you need to do is take a look and get a white metal detector on eBay. The pricing you can get on a White metal detector on eBay is going to be way better then you can get at any dealer around. Plus if you are willing to settle for a used White metal detector on eBay, you can save a ton of money and have a very high quality product for cheap. Many times people will buy a metal detector thinking that they want to get into the hobby and then will realize it is not for them and put their White detector on eBay. This is a chance for you to get a practically new detector for cheap, but you have to be careful.

What To Look Out For When Purchasing A White Metal Detector On EBay

There are many scams and scammers out there looking to separate you from your money. Unfortunately it seems that most of them have gravitated towards eBay as a way to practice their trade. Before you buy a White metal detector on eBay or even a White metal detector part you need to check out the seller thoroughly. EBay offers many tools to help you with this and you should use them to your advantage.

First check to see what the seller’s feedback looks like. If there is a significant amount of negative feedback then the user probably is not going to be able to get you the product as promised. A couple here and there is ok as things happen, but when you see a consistent pattern of negative feedback you need to be wary as it could be a situation that will lead you into trouble.

While checking the feedback, check to see who is leaving it. This is almost as important as what they are saying. Many times people can have inflated scores and rating because they have had people leave fake feedback on products they did not exist so that they could better pull off their scams. If you see anything in the feedback that makes you think this might be the case I would avoid buying the White metal detector on eBay from that person.

This is not to say that everyone on eBay is bad, there are many great sellers on eBay you just have to look hard to find them. In all honesty the odds on you getting a good seller are far higher then getting a bad one, but you want to take steps to make sure anyway.

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.

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.

I recently read a well known book on metal detectors… here’s my review of this book-

The authors have so much enthusiasm for their topic that I truly wanted to write a positive review, but unfortunately their enthusiasm is the only redeeming quality of the book. True, you can learn some things about searching for gold with a metal detector. And although the authors disclaim any purpose to sell their products, they refer to them exclusively on the grounds that they are most familiar with them. Well, OK, but it still has an uncomfortable feel to it. And I felt I was unable to translate many of their instructions to generic terms (for use with any brand metal detector).

Early on you are advised that terms are defined in the glossary. But they should also be defined in the text so that one does not have to continually stop reading and refer to the glossary. This is basic to didactic writing. For example, the term “placer” is used many times before it is defined. Ground balancing (canceling) is treated the same way.

There are several passages that are repeated verbatim in different chapters and you are left wondering if you have somehow read the current chapter already! It appears that the editor of the book was in a great rush, or extremely inexperienced. I could not find any reference to RAM publications on the web. The editor was found, and seems to be mostly associated with the works of Garret and Lagal.

Was it worth the price? I suppose, as I at least felt the excitement of hunting for gold. But it would be better titled as a companion to one of the Garret manufactured metal detectors. I still hope to find a book on using the metal detector as a hobby that is a better-written “how to” book that speaks in generic terms about metal detectors. This is a great book if your using a Garrett Metal Detector.
