Title: What to consider. Post by: Youngsmiler on February 15, 2014, 06:34:06 PM When purchasing a new MD what do you look for ?.
I'm reading a lot about the importance of the discrimination functions. Thinking as well about the search coil being waterproof ,and the control housing ?. So looking for something that can tick all those boxes, and anything else you think i need to consider. Thanks. Title: Re: What to consider.

discrimination is built in to all machines but varies with each . decide what type of detecting your interested in and buy a machine to suit your needs . a great inland machine to get you started is the garrett ace 250 good discrim and will find the goodies but no good on the wet sand . for inland and beach a minelab sovereign will do both easily , easy to set up and use and deeep inland and beach Title: Re: What to consider.
