[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4302666, member: 44288"] I knew a lot of metal detectorists who bought cheap $99 detectors and wondered why they were not getting the good stuff. They eventually stopped going out and sold their detector or gave it to the kids which is where it should have been in the first place. I did my research and bought what I could afford. It was a medium range $300 detector and had some tweaking capabilities I could do. Within a year, I had a $800 detector that took me a year of Saturdays and Sundays to learn it's little whims and ailments and how I could go into the programming and tweak it. I have 5 permanent programs that came with the detector and from those I have adjusted to my four personalized programs I can load. For instance I have to swing it fast with the 8 inch coil. I have one program for trashy areas that discriminates out a lot of stuff and one for plowed fields with hardly any discrimination that goes DEEP! I found a 1909 wheat at 18 inches and a lot of artifacts including an octagon barrel from a Sharps. The point I'm making is you have to have the right equipment for your level of commitment to your sport. [/QUOTE]
