Metal detector

[Ambush]

Looking for an inexpensive metal detector for locating lost arrows under grass and such. Dont need to be able to find a spec of gold 14' deep, just something effective on brass, aluminum, and steel. What do you guys recommend.

I have a decent 3d archery range and between friends and family theres enough arrows out there it would play for itself.

Thanks

I use a Garrett 400 - adjustable frequency band....less interference. Very happy with it. Also use UV light at night ...nocks and vanes will glow with UV light.

If they’re aluminum any inexpensive one will do, I used a cheap Bounty Hunter from Wallyworld. For carbon you are looking for the insert or point so it’s a small target. You would probably be well served to look at something in the $100-125 range IMO.

All carbon arrows, some brass inserts and steel points, some have aluminum collars, ect. But yes looking for points and inserts.

Aww one of my other hobbies =) I would steer you to a Minelab they make great detectors. THis one for 108 would be perfect. https://www.amazon.com/Minelab-GO-F...minelab+metal+detector&qid=1615431731&sr=8-10

Man, just seeing "Metal Detector" brings bask memories... I grew up in Va and hunted (Metal detected we called it) from the time I could walk with my dad - a bigger civil war buff never existed. Used to find balls, and spurs, barrels, bayonets, buckles, all kins of stuff... never did find arrows...

We always used Whites brand.

I had good luck with a Tesoro Vaquero.

So with one of these 100 dollar detectors what kind of "range" or how far could I hope to get a hit on a field point?

Unless you swing over the target, you won't find it. It's gotta be kept low to the ground and swung parallel and you don't want to swing it real fast.

If you might be interested in metal detecting as a hobby, take a look at the Nokta Makro Simplex +. Gets great reviews for the money.

Running a Minelab Equinox here and love it. Super light weight and easy to swing all day and has all the settings I could ever need. There is alot of great detectors out there. Its a huge hobby for alot of folks. Just check out youtube. =)

Here is a Ring I found out in the Virgin Islands. Was using a small underwater detector when I scored this beauty. Posted it on Treasurenet. Ring was appraised at 3500$ it has Gold Nuggets and an Emerald made by an Alaskan jewler in the 80s http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what-s-worth/561287-larry-taranoff-antique-heirloom-ring.html

I've been using a Tesoro Vaquero and so far it been good. But If they’re aluminum any inexpensive one will do, you can get a cheap Bounty Hunter from Wallyworld.
