Backlit display would be great for late evening or early morning hunting. In SE Texas you have to get out by 6 a.m. so you don't melt.....
Welcome to the forum! I'm also a Texan - SE/Gulf Coast. You'll enjoy the hobby and happy hunting!

My suggested machine isn't on the Bass website - the Garrett AT Pro. It is a good, all-round machine. Runs about $600-$650. It is waterproof too. There are lots of good machines listed though. ...
Hello gmwtexas! This forum is a great resource for information. If you are interested, there are 5 metal detecting clubs in the Houston area - Pasadena, Galveston, Montgomery County, Tomball, and...
Welcome from Pasadena TX! Since you are in Galveston you can hunt the beaches! The 250 is a great starter machine. If you are interested in joining a club, there is one in Galveston and our club,...
I will be spending a few days in the Tidewater Virginia area either late this month or early November. Is there anyone out there that I can correspond with? I will probably only have one day to hunt...
I'm doing some research on UK metal detecting trips for our club, Treasure Hunters Association of Pasadena. There are about 6 companies that I've been able to locate and, of course, they have the...
Hello Harry D 75! Shimmer77502 here from Pasadena TX! You aren't far - come visit us at the Treasure Hunters Assocation of Pasadena's next club meeting on February 4th. You'll meet lots of others who...
In Harris County Texas (Houston area), the strip between the sidewalk and street generally belongs to the homeowner (depending on the property sale). The city/utility companies have easement rights...
Welcome! I, too, am located in Texas - Houston area. You'll like the forum - lots of knowledgeable folks!
My suggestion is that you get the best detector you can afford. If you buy a lower price point machine, you will soon be yearning for something with more bells and whistles.
I own an AT Pro,...
Welcome to the forum! I can only speak for the 250 and the F2, but for a first detector that you are going to be using in multiple locations, I'd go with the 250. I hunt both land sites and the salty...

All my clad goes toward a CD for my grandson. He's one year old so hopefully it will buy him a college textbook 17 years from now..... lol
I can't speak for th Teknetics Delta 4000 but the F2 is a great starter machine. Comparable to the Ace 250 but with VDI. One issue I've discovered: the F2 does not like wet ground. The wet sand area...
A couple weeks ago here in southeast Texas we had got 5.5 of rain so my detecting was on the high spots only. Now my backyard is covered with cracks. We need rain.....
Found this in an abandoned town in SE Texas on a recent organized relic hunt. The medallion says CHIEFS OF POLICE AND CITY MARSHALS ASSN OF TEXAS. The only thing I can locate is an obituary from the...
I use Pro Coin (for playgrounds and trashy areas) and Zero for relic hunting. Open areas of parks I also use the Zero. It's all a matter of preference....
I've had my AT Pro for about a year and...
Since your detector is reading the conductivity of the metals, what you see is not always what you get. Example: 14Kt gold will ring up as a pull tab. 10Kt gold shows as a bottlecap. Platinum reads...
AWESOME find ! ! ! Congrats ! ! !
Move to the Texas gulf coast. Tomorrow and the rest of the week will be about 70 degrees. I'm off work Friday so I'll be out hunting all weekend. Didn't say I would FIND anything, but I'll be...
Hey thesafeman! I'm in Texas too - Gulf Coast region. There are lots of places to hunt down this way. Good luck on your recovery!
PM me if you want a pinpointer. I've got a brand new Fisher I'll...
LOTS of goodies there! Congratulations on what looks like successful hunting ! ! !
In the 4th picture down there is an eagle. What is that? I found one almost exactly like that - minus both feet...
