 Welcome From Tennessee. Don't know much about detectors available in Canada but if you want something for the types of places you are talking about, Bounty Hunter on the lower price range, then maybe the Technetics, Or the Tesoro. The Tesoro Compadre comes to mind for the weight and simple operation as well as being a good detector to start with. Lots of people use them as thier backup detector after the have upgraded to a more expensive machine. Hope this helps. Just my two cents. Grin

Welcome from New Mexico.      What kind of money you looking to spend?   What type of hunting would you be doing most of?

Greetings from British  Columbia , Yes treasure hunting is fun and very addictive . I bought a ace 250 back in august in a combo pack .  Things i have learned  are , Canadian money reads the same as iron  on an id type machine so u have to dig everything.  If i had to buy another detector i would choose one with numeric id  and a double d coil, as i like to detect all year long the at pro would be my next choice just because its water proof .  Bottom line  is i would take coins with you to  test any machine just to see how it works.  Unless you wanna dig everything.

I agree with Pete that the numerical ID would be great to have. I have the Ace 350 and would love the numerical ID, because it would help ID targets better plus I would love to have waterproof of the AT Pro!!!!!

Metal detectors are like other tools in life.

NO one is going to do it all.

There getting better at multi tasking but still not there.
