Hello I am new to the forum and wanting to start detecting.
I have never owned a metal detector and am going to buy one very soon.
I have some land I own and about 300 acres that was used during the civil war that I can search around on for starting my new hobby. I would like to get a detector that can look for everything including gold if possible and that I can use on both regular land and on the beach while on vacation.
I know there will be different opinions but
Is there any good starting detectors under $500 that can do this?
Is it worth it to go ahead and raise my budget to $1000 and if so what detectors would you suggest to look at?
Thanks for any advice,
Hoppy
