I'm contemplating whether I should rent or buy a unit. The task/job at hand is to recover a $600 Garmin GPS hand-held unit I lost in the field the other day. It is in a case that has a large (2-oz maybe) brass clip that is permanently attached, so that's what I would be hunting for...I know I lost it within the first 200 yards of my hike and I know my approximate path...through a grassy field.
I was planning to rent a unit (here in San Diego), but I'm wondering if I can buy an inexpensive unit that will do the trick for not much more $$, with the possibility that I'd need to use the unit again someday...and my 7-yr-old is getting into rock finding, so maybe it would serve useful for finding metallic rocks, I don't know.
Thanks, in advance!
