Detector advise

[cydlo]

I have never owned a detector and was given as a gift a kids ground efx cyclone ..... Can I do any serious hunting with this or should I just take back and get a real one ... Don't really want to spend a lot of money right now, but don't want to waste time either.

I'd recommend you save up your money and get a Ace 250 by Garrett.

Yes, get a real detector. You can start with a $170.00 Tesoro Compadre Tesoro Metal Detectors - Official company web site with metal detector models for treasure hunting land or water. which is a lot of machine for a little money. It also has a lifetime warranty!

cydlo, thats a touchy question, I started in this hobby with a detector(bounty hunter) bought at radio shack,it beeps I dig. this was good in the beginning because I was not sure I would like this hobby and like you money was tight. I have been at it about six months now, my son bought me a ace350,otherwise id still be using the bounty hunter. Tell you what , I still go back to the bounty hunter every now and then. while the ace350 looks cool and has all kinds of buttons and what not it is a little difficult to use. In my opinion use your cheap one, see how much you enjoy this hobby before spending any money, if your dilligent in a year you can find enough clad (coins lost and discovered) to buy a better model if you want. Also dont go into this hobby thinkin its going to make you rich, not happening unless your very fortunate. .ood luck whatever you decide
