Angela K asked:


I’ve recently decided I’d like to have a metal detector and have researched it pretty extensively but seem unable to make a decision. The one I saw in Cabellas catalog is pretty pricey and the reviews I’ve read say it is not all it’s cracked up to be particularly for its price … about $1299.00. That particular machine was a Minelab Explorer SE I believe. I don’t mind spending the money but don’t want something that is too heavy or too complicated that I’ll give up on it without giving it a chance. However I don’t want a cheap one that I’ll want to replace in a year or that can’t decipher between junk and coins or “treasure”. Can anyone recommend a metal detector for a beginner but not a cheapo one either? I’ve no plans to use it near water but you never know. However I’m not wanting to spend hundreds more just for that capability that I may or may not ever use. Thank you!
