Metal Detectors $200 to $500

关于

This band is where most people should start, and where plenty of detectorists happily stay. For $200 to $500 you get a waterproof coil, reliable numeric target ID, a handful of genuinely useful search modes and a machine light enough to swing all day. The Nokta Simplex ULTRA, Garrett ACE 400 and the Minelab Vanquish series live here. It is enough detector to work parks, fields, dry sand and shallow water properly, and it holds enough resale value that upgrading later does not sting.
