Welcome Silver Man from western ma. Good advise given so far, read, read, read. I am a White's man myself. I am sure someone will chime in about your choices of a metal detector. Are you a new metal detectorist?

welcome to the forum from Illinois,,check out the whites M6 it's a great turn on and go machine.


JT is right, the M6 is a great detector for coins, relics, etc. It gets very good depth and with the 5.3 coil, is great in trash.

[silver man]

What would you say the avg depth of the m6 is?

What would you say the avg depth of the m6 is?


the m6 is a nice machine and the depth is good from what i hear but i would recommend a more of an entry level machine , the price is more affordable and its probably a little easier to use as well. also say you try metal detecting and find out its not your cup of tea your not out a whole bunch of money when you try to re-sell it and hey if you decide you do like detecting you can always trade up or use your starter machine for a good backup. entry level machines are garret's 250 , whites coinmaster or prizm models , minelab's x-terra models , hope this helps .
