Hey everyone!
New to the board and the hobby as of today.. thought about it for a while. Me and my 5 year old just spent an hour in the back yard digging up nails and old match box cars. He loved it and didn't want to take a break.
With regard to the detector I bought... Researched a little bit by looking at on-line reviews. Went to the local Big 5 Sporting Goods...
Was kind of leaning toward the Garrett or Bounty Hunter... got there and all they had was the Bounty Hunter VLF (the website I looked at rated a 505... is this the same?) and a couple of Famous Trails. I can't find ratings at all on FamousTrails though. I bought the MD1023 with waterproof coil.
Bought both... they were on sale (total came down from $429 to $200 for both).
Any thoughts or recommnedations?
