It's been several years since I bought my first detector, a Teknetics EuroTek. I want to upgrade, and also we are wanting to get another detector just so fiance and I can both detect at the same time. With that, I also need a pin-pointer.
I generally enjoy the teknetics, besides getting a lot of ghost targets when I try to do it when it's wet out, and not having a lit display.
So I haven't done a whole lot of research yet, but you guys helped me a ton when I came here years ago with my tiny budget. The AT Max has jumped out at me. The kit comes with the detector, headphones and the pinpointer, and it's right at my budget for those items combined ($750ish). Also different items included depending on where I purchase from like bags, shovels etc, all I could really use the duplicates of to get the two of us set up!
Things I am really looking for:
-Backlit display. We detect at night a LOT.
-Wireless headphones
-Waterproof
-I don't need it to handle saltwater but does need to handle damp soil/mud
-As for what I look for, basically anything buried, lol. No specific goal
-Places are generally backyards, parks, woods and I would like to start going to creek beds and such.
I feel like there is no way I wouldn't be happy with the max, just wondering what else I should look at.
