Hi, I'm new to this hobby, and new to this forum, so please bare with me. I haven't even bought a MD yet, and I'm still kicking around building my own. That just sounds like fun. Not knowing anything about these things. What would be a good beginning MD? Your replies are greatly appreciated.

Hello. Garrett, Whites, Tesoro, All have good beginning detectors. You could try this website:

These guys are pretty serious about their detecting and from what I have seen on their website, they are doing as close as you can get to real world tests. The detector that I got when I got back into detecting was a Tesoro Compadre. About 150-170 dollars now. I still have mine and it performs rather well in playgrounds, parks and schoolyards. Also, you should check out some of the books put out by RAM publications. They are a Garrett concern, but a lot of the techniques that are discussed in those books apply to almost all detectors. Hope this helps. Good luck and I hope to see some of your finds on this website soon.
