We almost all hear about the latest and greatest. How they perform, how great they are and are not depending on which brand someone is loyal too or prefer. But what about the guy getting started that don't want to throw $300+ out there.
The problem is, there has to be good ones out there, but some one grabs an Amazon/Ebay/AliBaba bluelight special and it's terrible and they quit before they find out what detecting can be.
Lets leave the big boys out. What are some of the most underrated detectors out there? I don't mean underperforming, I mean units that actually do pretty good that just don't hardly get any recognition. Information is out there but it's scattered and like trying to find silver in a trashy park.
What's your experience? What have you owned/used that when you look back, you go, that was actually a good little unit.? I know we've all had some dates your were ashamed of and don't want anyone to know, but what supprised you? With metal detectors that is.
Here's a few names to throw out and try not to pinch your nose. Any experience? These are names I've seen and wondered about.
Fishers, I had the F22. Great little unit but frustrated me in EMI or trashy area's
Quest, like x5 - x30
Dr Otek
The striker z60
Others...
You get the idea.
