Used Metal Detectors Sources

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.

When you get your used metal detector, you can have fun roaming the beach or vacant lots or your own yard for anything metal. Go to the local park and search there. Search while walking down the side of the road or just search your own backyard. You never know when you may find jewelry, coins, or even an entire chest filled with both. Of course, you may find a lot of junk but the fun is when you actually get out there and start searching with the hopes of one day hitting it big.

product claimed to be made in the USA, very important to me. Bought it as a gift, so my use of it was limited, however I put it together and took it about the yard and everything went OK. I think it was a very good pick, for the money~~

I’ve used this metal detector a coupleof times already and I have been able to located certain areas of where possible items maybe hidden underground. The Trash Eliminator is perfect for really trying not to dig up a soda can or anything else that wouldn’t be surprise to the detector. I have found areas where I have gotten strong readings… I just forgot to buy a shovel. opps

After looking at some expensive units in local stores I decided to start with this one. I had also read the manuals for the various Bounty Hunter models at http://www.detecting.com, and this one seemed to have the options I wanted. The Bounty Hunter brand seemed reasonably priced for the features.

It’s well made and easy to use. Used it quite a bit on a recent camping trip, and the two 9-volt batteries still have plenty of life left in them, and I mostly ran it with the speaker rather than the headphones.

It is light and easy to carry and swing back and forth. With the “Trash Eliminator” control set all the way down it has no trouble finding even very small metal items, as low as 6″ deep. In an area with many nails, turning up the “Trash Eliminator” seems to create a different toned beep for silver or gold, though I notice that aluminum pop tops were hard to eliminate. If I were looking for artifacts made of iron in an isolated area I would turn the Trash Eliminator off completely so as to not miss anything.

Again, the Gold Digger can really find things. It seems to have a smaller coil than some, perhaps making it capable of finding smaller items. It also seems to pinpoint well. I had no trouble locating the exact spot by simply passing the coil over a few times. Within the first 10 minutes I found an old compass, oddly enough of a type I used to have when I was a kid. I did find a lot of nails, some of them very old. Sometimes it would beep along a straight line making me think I had found a long iron object, but it turned out to be a length of wire. But I’m impressed that it didn’t miss anything.

Not bad for the price. I wish I’d had one of these long ago. Now I need to go back to some of the remote places I’ve been to and do some detecting. It’s a great way to pass the time.
