Hello
  I am new to the detecting world by virtue of reading many neat things found and got interested. I currently am in the military and am stationed in Japan. I would like to get hear from people regarding what type or kind of detected I should get and how to go about in starting this new adventure. Any help, tips, and/or assistance is appreciated.

First off, get the detector you can best afford. Stay away from the really low end stuff but almost all of them above the $200.00 price range are going to serve you well. Save your finds and when you can afford it, buy a top of the line machine. If you can afford it now, go for it. Buy from a company that ships to FPO/APO and wait for it to arrive by reading all the back posts on the forum.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Welcome to the forum EHGuillen
GD's advice is spot on. I would also suggest coming in contact with some of our members in Japan.
Perhaps if they are closed by, you can have a field day with them and see what metal detecting is all about.

Hi EH  I recently went through the same dilemma of which detector to buy as my first. I decided on the Garrett Ace 350.  I literally just ordered it and it is supposed to be delivered on April 26th.  I bought mine through Kellyco as GD suggested.  Best of luck picking a detector.

O HI O   Hello from CT. Used to dig old glass fishing net floats from the beaches up in Hokkaido. You should find some good places to hunt.
