Best Metal Detectors

There is no single best metal detector, only the best one for your ground and the way you hunt. A machine that dominates a wet salt beach can be beaten in an iron-filled relic field by something half the price. What we have gathered here are the detectors we end up recommending most often across every category: the ones that come back with good reviews, hold their value, and rarely land in our returns pile. Tell us where you hunt and what you are after, and we will narrow it to two or three.
