So new, I'm still researching which detector I'm going to buy
Hello. I'm retired air force enlisted living in Peyton, Colorado. Still researching which detector to buy; VLF or pulse induction. I'm interested in coins, jewelry, relics, and gold (just like everyone in the hobby I guess). I'm considering Tesoro Vaquero, Tesoro Sand Shark, and Nokta FORS Core pro. Also looking at White's brand. I hear that VLF might miss gold where IP will detect on gold. Still researching and would like learn more about the pros and cons of VLF versus pulse induction. My budget is under $1,000. I would like to search on land and shallow freshwater creeks where I can wade up to my knees, no deeper. In the air force I was an electronics technician, so I'm familiar with circuits, power, radio waves, electronic jargon etc. As a result I like what I read about Tesoro being focused on quality electronics instead of pretty displays. When winter is over here at 7,000 feet near the Rockies, I hope to have decided and purchased a new detector and get out there. Thanks for taking time to read this and I look forward to learning from everyone.
