What Metal Detector Should You buy

Purchasing your new metal detector can be a little tricky especially if you purchase your metal detector from a big box store. Most people do not think about where they should make their purchase. It is always best to find a local metal detector dealer who uses a metal detector and has the experience to provide you with the best choice for your budget. I wish that I had met a local metal detector dealer prior to my first purchase. It would have made it a lot easier to buy the detector instead of purchasing two before I found the right metal detector for the beach.

Metal Detector Weight

There are many things that you should take into consideration before you purchase a metal detector. How long will you be metal detecting each day. What is your physical condition and how does this play a part in your purchase. Some metal detectors are heavy and can weigh up to 5 lbs. Others are light and can weigh a little over a lb. These are other factors that one should think about before making a purchase. Will the detector put a strain on your forearm or how much will it affect your back. Can it be modified so that 3^rd party accessories can be used to make the detector easier to swing thus helping you stay out longer metal detecting. All these things should be considered before you make your first purchase. The goal is to help you improve your health, stamina and keep you enjoying the hobby.
