Sorry if this type of ? has been asked and I'm sure something similar has.
I think metal detecting is pretty cool just in the fact that you can find something that someone last touched a hundred years ago. that being said the main reason i want to try it is because of a story i overheard several times as a kid. I cannot get it out of my mind and if the story doesn't pan out then oh well i'll be happy finding an old screwdriver as well.
I am looking for a detector that would be good for finding coins and/or jewelry that could be buried in a mason jar(s). That's it. The main thing i want to look for is just that, but i have heard it could be buried anywhere from 1 - 2 feet down. I have not seen a detector that can see coins that deep. although this would be more than one coin; a dozen or more in one jar. cash also but i know it wont detect that.
Basically need to find coins in a mason jar possibly two feet underground. I do not need anything fancy; just something that will go off if it detects metals that far down. I would like to spend no more than 300 but if i need to spend more that's fine. this story has been bugging me forever.
I have looked at Bounty Hunter and Garrett but do not know which models. Maybe that's not the brand i need anyway. Like i said i want to end a curiosity so whatever it takes. $100 great $1000 sucks but that is fine if it gets it out of my head!
Please give me your recommendations and i'm sorry i talk/type so much.
Thank you
