Greetings everyone!
Well, I have always been interested in getting involved with "treasure hunting" and metal detectors and finally am ready to take the plunge and get to it.
My budget for a detector is around $500 (I'm willing to go a hundred or so higher for a significantly better detector)
My interests are:
70% land based (parks, farms, etc)
15% slightly wet (freshwater beaches, saltwater beaches above the waterline)
10% more wet (both freshwater lakes and beaches, no more than a foot or two deep)
5% prospecting for gold, silver.
What we'd like to search for (in order of priority) is: jewelry, coins, relics, gold.
I'm going to be mainly in the western washington state area, if that matters (this probably means lots of rain work )
Any advice, opinions, websites, hints, etc are VERY welcome!
