What types of metal detectors are there?
There are many different detectors, some are more complicated then others. The basic ones are easy to get used to, with less features and buttons. Turn it on and off you go! You can't get around practice though, and the more complicated the detector, the more practice you will need. Which is the best detector? What is the best gold detector? Read some of the user reviews to find out.
Recommended Beginner Detectors
Land or relic detectors are used mainly on land or in the woods, playgrounds, parks, etc. They can be used at the water edge and even in the water a couple of inches, most coils are waterproof, but don't drop your whole detector in the water. If you're just starting out in the hobby, here are the most popular and affordable beginner metal detectors. The Garrett Ace 250, Whites Prizm II, Minelab Musketeer, and the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV Of course there are many more models of detectors to choose from, but these will get you started on the right track.
Waterproof Detectors
Maybe you're close to the ocean or lakes,
and are thinking of jumping in the water with your metal detector to
find out what was lost there? If finding jewelry is your thing then a
waterproof detector is a must.
To make it simple, there are two basic categories of underwater
detectors: A VLF - that can discriminate against iron and unwanted
junk, and there is a PI - that can detect deeper then a VLF but you'll
be digging every nail and bottlecap without knowing it. Here are a few
examples - VLF: Minelab Excalibur
1000, Fisher
CZ 20
PI: Whites
Surf Master PI Pro, Headhunter Pulse

I love your site!! I'm a metal detecting addict and
I'm always looking for good MD sites. Your site is one of the better
ones I've found! Keep up the great work. I only wish your site had been
around several years ago when I was getting started in the metal
detecting hobby. It would have cut my research time in half.
