Hey guys.
I am looking to buy a metal detector, and need a second hand opinion.
As far as my research goes, I can afford (maximum budget) AT pro + pro-pointer AT or...
That's the question. I really like the AT pro, but I don't need a fully waterproof detector, or salt water proof. I only plan on river scans so waterproof coil is all I really need. I am aiming mainly for coins/relics and gold nuggets. I live in area that use to have gold mines, so gold nuggets are somewhat an option. Here are some other options that I found available:
- RUTUS Alter 71 DD28cm (Polish)
- MINELAB X-TERRA 705 9" 7,5kHz
- Fisher F5 11DD
- MAKRO RACER 2
- TEKNETICS T2 CLASSIC
- XP Deus WS5, 28cm coil
- MINELAB SAFARI
- Armand Dominator 3 (Polish)
- NOKTA FORS RELIC
And that's it. I want a new detector because of the warranty, also if I would get a cheaper one from those mentioned I could afford a pro-pointer. I live in Poland so those Polish ones are also an option. I wan't to know what is worth spending more or what is not worth spending more. Or if any of those is much better than others in some way or for some specific hunts. Thanks in advance.
