Think weight and length as well, my boy was 9 when he tried, I had to take out the middle stem of my dfx for him, Title: Re: detector Post by: adt69 on January 16, 2014, 09:01:41 AM Hi
I have owned a Garrett before I think they are not that good, just over hyped machines, Al Title: Re: detector Post by: Dryland on January 16, 2014, 01:38:07 PM There have been some quality things found by DW members with the Garrett, just ask
G I Jan and Sharkey. Admittedly they use or used the Garrett 250, But as a starter machine the 150 should be fine, as long as not used on wet sand. Title: Re: detector Post by: gijan on January 16, 2014, 04:35:10 PM used garrett machines for 9yrs....150...250...euro ace....my finds are great,lots of silver hammys...roman coins etc etc.just bought the AT PRO as a extra just in case i go on beach,rivers..my garretts have brought up many good finds indeed..would highly recomend the ultimate coil..bang on target and finds....ur choice at the end of the day.....choose wisely fellow digger..... ::) ::)

al Title: Re: detector Post by: alun on January 18, 2014, 05:32:57 PM Got a 250 for my 8 year old, does well with it on ploughed but falses to often to rely on the ID, have torun my DFX over to be sure before digging.
Technics have a few affordable units, along with Whites. |
