Top Ten Metal Detectors

10. Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Quick Draw II Metal Detector with Pin Pointer and Carry Bag:Beach combers, treasure and relic hunters, prospectors and coin shooters will love the Quick Draw II metal detector from Bounty Hunter for it’s comfort, sensitivity and discrimination control, and digital readout for easy of use. A precision device for locating metallic items, such as jewelry, coins, bullets, and other various artifacts buried up to 3 feet deep, the detector features an 8-inch interchangeable waterproof coil with sensitivity and discrimination controls, so you’ll know whether there are valuable coins down there or just rusty nails and tin cans. The Quick Draw II’s auto notch and selective notch filters let the detector discriminate between metal types. In auto notch the detector automatically displays the type and size of metal found. Selective notch filter mode lets you set the detector to include or exclude any object type or combination of types, finding for example, 1/2 dollars and ignoring unwanted items or finding any type of coin only, or excluding pop can pull tops for example while showing everything else. The detector notifies you with either an audible tone or visual indicator as to what range of metal types a detected object is likely to fall in for further weeding out of undesired items. Touch pad selection and 3-level iron discrimination help produce more coins and fewer rusty nails. The unit's handy LCD display with target identification and depth readout help pinpoint the location of artifacts. Not only does the Bounty Hunter discriminate between valuable metals and iron, it displays coin sizes up to 8 inches deep and detects larger objects up to 3 feet down. A handy headphone jack helps you tune into the search even near noisy streets (headphones sold separately). The purchase is backed by a 5-year limited warranty and includes a storage pouch.

9. Bounty Hunter SS2 Sharpshooter II Metal Detector:The Sharp Shooter II detector was designed with exact specifications to fill the needs of the avid Treasure Hunter. The LCD readout will indicate the probable target ID of each target being detected. With an excellent recovery rate, easy operation, and lightweight, the Sharp Shooter II is truly a Treasure Hunter's dream. The Sharp Shooter II combines ease of use with a visual reference that allows the user to determine what type of metal is being detected, whether silver or gold or lesser metals. Take aim at more treasure with the Sharp Shooter II!


8. Garrett Ace 350 Metal Detector: This metal detector is at the "sweet spot" in this category. It is more powerful, accurate, and informative than the special-of-the week units at stores; at the same time it is far less expensive than many middle of the road detectors.

Good balance and low overall weight are crucial, if you are going to be seeking finds for any extended period of time--the Ace 350 is very good in both areas. Having a good audible alarm is also important, especially if you are covering irregular ground.

In the sub-$500 range, this is a best buy.

Great exercise and great fun!6. Garrett 1138070 Ace 150 Metal DetectorIntroducing the ALL-NEW Garrett ACE series - not just a new line of detectors, but a new way of thinking.

4. Garret 1139070 Ace 250 Metal Detector: Great metal detector for a beginner. I recommend getting a pin pointer and a set of head phones as well. I have a good deal of trouble finding the item just using the detector as the pin pointer.  I recommend headphones as people tend to look at you as obnoxious when you walk around and there is a constant ding ding ding ding. Good starter detector though! 

3. Bounty Hunter TK4 Tracker IV Metal Detector: Bounty Hunter equips all its metal detectors with a preset ground balance that neutralizes the response to mineral content in the ground. As a result, the Tracker IV can distinguish between iron in the ground and valuable metals. The detector further distinguishes good finds from bad with a disc/notch control, which eliminates unwanted metals from detection; a sensitivity control that reduces electromagnetic interference; and a target indicator meter that provides a visual cue of a nearing target. The Tracker IV even searches deeper than many other detectors thanks to the 8-inch open coil design, which searches to 8 inches for coin-size objects and 3 feet for larger objects. Plus, the coil and stem are waterproof, so you can submerge them when searching for treasure in damp grass or shallow water.

2. Bounty Hunter BHJS Junior Metal Detector: Bounty Hunter's Junior Metal Detector gives you professional metal-detecting functions in a compact, lightweight package. Detecting coin-sized objects up to 5" deep and larger objects to 3 ft., it also has discrimination control eliminating unwanted metals, while the target indicator meter measures signal strength.
