Thanks in advance..

[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. ;D

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!!!!!
