Need advise on type detector to purchase for specific needs... I'm a "Newbie."
Howdy all, I have 32 acres of Oak trees and a portable band-sawmill here in the Ozark Hills of Southwest Missouri. I came to this site today to find out what detector... "experience"... recommends, and also, have always wanted to get into this hobby. I'm a 54 year old, retired, disabled combat veteran and should have a little more free time now to treasure hunt. But for now I need to be able to detect barbed wire, glass, rocks, and whatever else these Oak trees may have swallowed up over their many years of growth before I saw into junk and ruin a good hardwood blade. Also need to detect buried electric cables, water, sewer, gas lines, etc... before I put ol' Yeller (my Case 580E Backhoe) to work. Then I would like to find Native American artifacts, old glass bottles, and Civil War items (a lot of that around here I think). So... multiple detectors?... One specific type?... ain't got a clue. Thank you all in advance for your help.
