2024 BEST Metal Detector? Warning!

[@KC2BKM]

Love my Nox as recommended 3 years ago by everyone in the NYC crew and their honest reviews. Still going strong. Love it. Lot of new detectors on the market since then but you can trust Mr. Tones. Straight up no BS reviews.

[@IndianaTones]

Thank you!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I have the Nox900 and the AT Pro. True statement that the Pro sucks on salt water beaches... that's why I got the Nox900. However, with an aftermarket NEL Tornado coil, the Pro can match the depth of the Nox. In the end, choose what detector works for you depending on your soil conditions. If you need help choosing a detector, this community is always willing to help (although some personal bias might interfere with being totally objective). Great video, Lou.

[@IndianaTones]

Exactly! Thank you

[@ronaldcomtois8663]

I've been metal detecting since 1971 and seen a lot of changes in the industry. What never changes are these snake oil sales pitches. I like what you said when you said you should go to folks that are true metal detectorists and are out in the field testing and reviewing these machines. Thanks for a great video and I hope it helps new detectorist buy the right machine for their needs.

[@IndianaTones]

Thank you Ronald!

[@gultim59]

You can tell that the other video was text-to-speech and was irritating to hear. Keep up the real person videos and the real world testing.

[@KenLord]

Ya, the amazon affiliate link has destroyed the idea of online reviews. I've had my AT Pro and AT Max underwater at lakes countless times, never a concern. Paid for themselves many times over. But it's pointless taking them near salt water, and they aren't price competitive anymore to buy new, can get better now for less. The Ace Apex is great in the wet at a salt water beach, happy to have it - but the target separation makes it painful to use in other places. Before spring, I'm going to sell my AT Pro and Ace Apex, pool in the clad I've collected over the past couple years so that it doesn't really cost me anything and will probably buy a Manticore. Save the AT Max as a backup. (unless I hear that people are having flooding problems with the manticore.)

[@montrealdave]

Hope some newbs watch this so much functionality available for low price even new. I started 30 years ago and spent 350 on a whites single frequency it beeps u dig machine. For true waterproof was 1000$ and up pulse or excal. With some honest reviews todays newbies can get great tech to start with. Great video IT.

[@markkus1134]

One of the “famous Hoover boys” replied one time when I asked him why he was still using a AT pro that all detectors will signal when they go over a target lol then he used a 800 now a Legend lol

[@stevenberry90]

Got my Legend on Thursday 🔥 upgrade from a Simplex, took alot from Merrill's channel and other users reviews.

[@IndianaTones]

Enjoy it! Get that gold and silver!

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

False advertising sells to ones who do not take time to research what they are buying. My first metal detector was the Tracker 4 and I found a lot of great stuff.. I then went to a Ace250 thinking it would work on the beach because it is advertised as a great beach detector, Boy was a disappointed. Went back to the TK4. I learned it is best to take the time and research the Metal Detector that you would like to swing. I own 12 metal detectors now. Why? Cause I fell into the false advertising .before I did my own researching.. Great info Buddy .. Peace

[@IndianaTones]

Thanks Danny!

[@bettyhair5007]

I started with the cheapo Bounty Hunter years ago. It was fun and I did ok but it goes nuts near salt water. For years now I've enjoyed my Nox 800. It's so light & easy to learn. My warranty issues have been broken coil ears & a split charger cord (also several swap outs of the headphones, they're lousy). The warranty people at Minelab are so easy to work with, just send it in & in less than 10 days it's back to me. I love it & plan to buy another & retire the one I have in April when the warranty is up to keep as a backup. I don't submerge my Nox based on what I hear from others who do & flood their machines. This was a good video, will hit that subscribe button!

[@IndianaTones]

Thank you Betty. Great minds think alike.

[@kody3377]

Started with the Ace 250 for about 2 weeks then bought the Simplex & it was 5X better than the Ace then I got the Legend & absolutely love it. I’m thinking my next would be the Deus 2 or maybe the Nox 700 or 900.

[@djkammen]

Hello from Fryslan/the Netherlands, i've been following Merrill for years, now also this channel, i'm a detectorist for almost 30 years, when i'm approached by people i give non-biased info, it's about what they want, what they expect, and what's affordable to them. I tell them that i only payed for my first two detectors, later on the finds did😊. I mention that you need to dig a tremendous amount of trash to get there. I tell that i still own most of my detectors, upgrading when possible or because of new/ better tricks. They always ask how much gold i have found, my answer is always the same: "how much have you lost?" . Most important i tell them how much fun this hobby/addiction is, how healthy it is to be in the open, how much fun your first find can be, how relaxing (i have a terrible tinnitus), but most of all the fun part, i think this can not be mentioned enough. A final question: will you be rating the Nexus Merrill bought lately, i'd be very interested in the fine tuning this machine offers. So, greetings from Fryslan, Doede van Kammen .

[@cruikshank]

I started out as a new detectorist 3 years ago. I’m on disability so my main issue was price. I didn’t have money but I had time to scour marketplace for deals. There are always deals on Bounty Hunters because people buy them, don’t have patience to detect and dump them. My first detector was a Bounty Hunter Tracker Pro. I think it’s a TK-4 guts with a digital display and the ability to be a bit more selective. I paid $35 like new condition. Unfortunately it acts erratically. Fortunately my background is in electronics and I found the issue was a loose ribbon cable inside. Fixed it and got my start there. I quickly needed a Pinpointer and went with a cheap Garrett Clone. No it’s not a Garrett Carrott but it got me started. I raided the garden shed for shovels and used an old hip bag for finds. I then found a truly like new Bounty Hunter TK-4 in the box with headphones for $40. I watched videos from a BH Rep and learned to use it. Personally if you’re not beach detecting I think it’s the greatest entry level if you buy it used or on deep sale. It made me learn tones and I found enough to keep me wanting more. My next move was I found a used, like new in the box with headphones Garrett ACE 400 from a dealer for $168 delivered. This gave me ID numbers and better options to notch out items. I found my first General Services Button on my own land that I missed before. I wasn’t ready to buy anything else but I fell into a like new but used Nokta Makro Simplex + in the box, all paperwork and another knock off Pinpointer. This has been my goto with the ACE 400 as my backup or to loan to a friend to detect with me. I also occasionally still use the TK-4 since it’s so darn simple. I forgot along the line I bought a Discoverer -1000 which is the Radio Shack labeled BH TK-4. I bought it in good working condition for $15. A Mom bought it for her kid and he quickly lost interest. I traded my original Bounty Hunter Tracker Pro towards a GoPro Black 7 so I can record my detecting. Right now I’m considering selling the Ace 400 and maybe 1-2 Bounty Hunters or the Simplex and upgrade to a double or triple score or a used Legend so I detect on the couple of times I get to the beach. I do get to my local fresh water beach and the Simplex works fine there. I’ll continue to follow your channel. Thanks for revealing these videos that don’t know what they talk about and are only in it for affiliate links. Dave in PA.

[@marktompkinstreasurehunter4363]

Great video man. We need a lot more honesty on reviews. Thank you.

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

I had to skip through 6 narrated video on metal detectors before I found your video. Listening to those narrated videos, you might as well go ask a Walmart employee in the shoe department for the best metal detectors. I'm still using my White's Eagle II that I bought brand new back in my late 20s. It's great, but heavy. Time to get something that can handle wet beach sand and lighter.

[@alabama2654]

Enjoyed your video. Lots of great info. So many "expert" videos out there touting the best detector to get a commission. I need some help. Never detected, would like to try it out. I have $250 to spend on a detector. Looking for a versatile detector to hunt coins, rings, and relics - but also be able to use it on the beach when we vacation. Not complicated to use but advanced enough that I can use it for 2+ years before I upgrade. Would you happen to have any suggestions? Thanks!

[@LakkaSleep]

Great video. Can you recommend a good mid to hi level metal detector for both land and water? Thank you

[@josegutierrez3067]

Hello sir, I was wondering if you can guide me, what is a great gold detector

[@racequad9]

Just found your channel. Would you happen to have a video of what your favorite metal detectors are for different terrains and budgets? I mainly want to do beach searches but as you have said in the video, finding reliable information on YT isn't easy

[@MadameLove1866]

Love your channel and I agree with everything you have said been detecting for over ten years with a range of machines, think you just have to find a machine that suits you and your land and remember all these companies lie….they want your money, one of my best machines is a thirty year old ex-Army second hand (Vallon) machine with no discrimination, heavy and green….it beeps and you dig the hole, it suits me on every dig and have found so many Roman coins and artefacts…. Look forward to your next video Roy from the UK

[@IndianaTones]

Thank you so much for that comment. That is interesting. I’m going to look into that Vallon!

[@dinoboy9317]

Im really interested in getting a detector, total beginner, gonna be living in walking distance from the beach. Myrtle beach SC, to be exact. So a good pick would be a nockta score?

Great reaction to this. I wish these KZbinrs wouldn’t make videos like that to deceive people into buying a less-desirable detector when there is much better detectors for their money. Great video.

[@IndianaTones]

Thank you.

[@SheDetector]

Hahaha, this was a great video! My face matched your face when he said Bounty Hunter. And for the Nox, I've never tried one out but I had no idea they were taking in water like that. :O

[@chrisloya6988]

I've been wanting to do this for a very long time. I live in San Diego, want to use in and out of the water, and perhaps in the deserts in Nevada and Arizona. I'm interested in finding gold, but looking on separating the undesirables, and just hone in on the gold. What are the best bet for the money on a budget?

[@PRLake007.1]

Probably the Minelab Goldmonster if your'e looking at new. A lot of older detectors still prove themselves. Maybe look at buying a good second hand machine and get some training! I can not stress how important training is. Another option or three is (a) hire a detector (b) join a club or (c) team up with some one who knows a little bit avout what you want to achieve.

[@gardenpartyfarm]

I’m looking for a metal detector to find irrigation valves. Stainless steel screws in 24 V electric with copper wire. Can you help me?

How deep and where? On your property or the city?

[@philipedwardcaddick4294]

Hi i a beginner to detecting and the detector i have is a AT pro and i used it on the beach and it was ok on the dry but when it went to the wet it churped like a bird so i looked on KZbin and saw Merrill's video's and sent him a message about the at pro and he explained why and what was happening, he then advised me to look for something more modern as the at pro is old tech , so i looked various machines and spoke to other detectorist and the im seriously thinking about is the nokta legend and after watching Merrill's video's on the legend they just steer me towards it but it is a bit pricey. My question is , would you agree with it as a good choice?

[@user-nc2wi1xo7v]

I'm wanting to start sniping fresh water streams, challenging spots with snorkel mask drysuit Hood, flippers, weight belt. Also work shores and fields for Gold down to small .25 gram I guess if I had to describe the perfect metal detector it would be completely waterproof for some bottom searches, in the ability to work the shores and Fields with interchangeable batteries, ability to detect small gold, fast sweep, 2 feet down. I figure I probably need a fully waterproof wand style for diving down in for honing in I don't know if the new ones have some kind of side capabilities. Figure i would start with the main unit something quality. Any thoughts?

What do you recommend for a beginner who is on a lake

I pull over a dozen silver coins out of the ground almost each day i hunt with my Bounty Hunter. I do know how to use it and where to hunt. No number read out but the analog lever does the same. Affordable but high quality. Save your money and try one first. Sure people laugh how little it cost but at the end of the day show me what you found with your overpriced machine. but but but is all they can say.

[@miragexl007]

Tracker 4 x 4 yrs. Kind if sucjs/only like 80 bucks. Looking to get better...like around 200 bucks? Seems like such an easy topic/machine. it's a metal detector that should be able to distinguish between pot metal all the way up to gold very easily and go down like 10 inches. what's the best?? Now that i'm older comma money's fine. Curious about metal detectors more. Just starting to research. Just picked up panky 0074?.. Hundred bucks from two hundred. Impulse by on sale... Might return.

[@IndianaTones]

Good starter machines are either the Nokta Simplex of the Minelab Xterra Pro for the price and newer technology. thegolddigger.com/?ref=yGNF_u-2ZwDRG

[@bradgibson4459]

For beach/salt water, how about the minicab exterra pro versus the anguish?

[@WILE-E-DETECTING]

Hey Lou, just had a question for you. You have much more experience than I do so I thought you might be able to answer my question. I started out with the bounty Hunter TK4. Immediately upgraded to the vanquish 440. I hunt trashy parks 95%of the time so not being water proof is not a problem. However do you feel that the new Nokta DS separates that much better that it would be worth upgrading to. Thank you for your time😎

[@IndianaTones]

I need more time to make that analysis but on the beach I can confidently say the DS is better. Parks and fields not sure yet.

[@walksuponwater7261]

Truer words we never spoken, thanks for taking the Detecting Baton from Merrill and keeping I RATE METAL DETECTORS alive well and independent. Great job Lou. I bought the nox 800 for me and the Garrett Max for my daughter,(loves Nugget Noggin) and we went to the beach, ...she could not detect, it just rang up on everything, had to turn the sensitivity down to lowest and notch out the low numbers, so it basically was a real handicapped detector in the wet sand, the Nox had no problems at all and could run full power.

[@IndianaTones]

Thank you! Max is still a great one in the field and parks.

[@cixpnz8798]

Hey there, I just came across this video I’ve been looking all day for good metal detectors and I can’t seem to find “the” one, I’m a beginner and I’m just wondering what you think would be the best one to get that’s not over 400$

[@IndianaTones]

Thank you john!

[@Sebcrab-ml1cu]

So is the nokta simplex lite a good choice?? Thanks

[@digginggopher]

It's a great starter machine, or a low budget machine, if I was just getting into metal detecting today, I would get the simplex lite, I started with simplex plus and it was a great machine, but you had to buy the small coil separate, the lite is great because it comes stock with the small coil and you need to get the large coil separate, and the small coil is better for a lot of applications The lite is NOT going to be too good at the salt water beach, in that case consider a legend/score/equinox/vanquish, something that is, or can use multi frequency

[@IndianaTones]

Either the simplex of Xterra Pro both good starters

[@obetwokenobi458]

[@WilliamKennedy-q6o]

Budget detectors love all detectors some do better then others cheap one do most what more expensive ones do try building a pulse induction detector

[@sandyhunter66]

A bit off topic. I'm relatively new to MD have brought the Nox 900 as recommended by a local MD. My issue is what length to adjust the shaft for me I'm 5.5 ft. I think I've got it too long. How far from your feet should I adjust too.. Tia

[@IndianaTones]

The optimal height for your metal detector shaft depends on your personal comfort and the specific model of metal detector you are using. However, there are some general guidelines you can follow to determine the appropriate height: Adjust the shaft height so that you can comfortably grip the handle without having to bend over or stretch too much. This ensures that you can use the metal detector for an extended period without causing strain or discomfort. Your elbow should be at a slight angle when holding the detector. This angle allows for better control and maneuverability. Adjust the shaft height to achieve a comfortable elbow angle while maintaining a relaxed grip on the handle. The coil of the metal detector should be close enough to the ground for effective scanning. However, it shouldn't be so low that it constantly hits the ground or obstacles, as this can affect the detector's performance and cause unnecessary wear. Consider your own height when adjusting the shaft. Taller individuals may need to extend the shaft to maintain a comfortable operating position, while shorter individuals may need to shorten it. Check the user manual or guidelines provided by the manufacturer of your metal detector. Manufacturers often include recommendations on how to properly adjust the shaft for optimal performance. If you frequently detect in rough or uneven terrain, you may need to adjust the shaft height based on the specific conditions to maintain balance and stability. Experiment with different shaft heights to find the setting that works best for you. Take your metal detector to a test area and make adjustments until you find a comfortable and effective operating position. Remember that personal comfort is key, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. It's a good idea to spend some time adjusting the shaft height and testing different settings to find what works best for your individual preferences and detecting style. Note: NEVER lean on your detector or use it to help you get up. It will break.

Instead of jumping up every season. What are your thought on the 600 for what i am going to do with it ? And Thanks for any info

[@Lucky2bGorgeous]

As a multi- line metal detector dealer and author, I listened to your video and agree with most of what you said including your take on Amazon and these Affiliate Click Bait BS from Non Hobbiest folks who don’t know Shit because of suspicious questionable experience in our hobby putting out these misleading videos. I also agree with your Mention of Gold Diggers Shop which on the Eastern Half of our Great Nation excels in Service and Knowledge where.most Amazon Dealers themselves never tou h a detector or their Inventory. Where I disagree with you is what you didn’t say when talking about the Whites Mx Sport or MXT. Yes, they are single frequency and yes, you have to reduce the sensitivity down to stabilize the Circuit which makes hearing coins in salt water wet sand difficult beyond 5 inches. Multi Frequency circuits will cancel out that salt water Falsing but they can miss deeper coins and rings beyond 10” in certain high mineralized dirt or wet salt beach sand! The American Tarsacci MDT 8000 a Single Selectable frequency detector actually detects 40 % deeper in 2024 because it operates on a PI / VLF Patented Circuit and to illustrate my point when comparing deep signals with My hunting partner Frank who uses The XP Deus II he was unable to hear and even ID these deep targets where it was a piece of cake for the MDT 8000. Frank has 40 plus years of experience Being taught as my customer as well as ALan Woods, Jimmy Sierra and a Reader of Andy Sabisch Books as well as an Engineer with HP and others during his career. So why has the Tarsacci MDT 8000 not been evaluated as much, and why does Ron from Gold Diggers not carry it? Well the Company based in Merced, Ca FairTrades his product and the Dealer Discount is 1/2 of normal discounts If you want to discuss Tarsacci further or have any questions for me.

Fast forward to todays choices, the simplex lite will hit coins at 12 inches deep for the same price you pay for a bounty hunter....go simplex or equinox, but steer clear bounty hunter

Getting my first detector this year 2024 , My shortlist is xterra pro and nokta legend or vanquish Mostly for field work . but some beach Thoughts would be welcome 😎

[@IndianaTones]

The Nokta Legend is almost the same as the Minelab Equinox. So I would say it is better and more capable than those other 2. There is now the Nokta Double Score which I would say is competition for the Vanquish and fully submersible, rechargable better target seperation etc.

Get the legend it can not be beat for the money and you can hunt with the best of them some people have to have a Cadillac and pay more and some a ford one may have a few more buttons but they will take you to the same place been at it for 55 yrs. and can take a Legend and stay right with a 900 Nox at half price it is a no brainer KEEP ON DIGGIN

[@ghettoprincevu2669]

sounds like you know your stuff man. so which one would you recommend for using under salt water. Thank

[@jdove6883]

What do you think about the Garrett Sea Hunter?

[@StelarTheroc]

I own a sea hunter it is a pulse detector great for salt water not much discrimination . Dig all detector

greaton beach and underwater the newest "all purpose multi frequency high speed low drag detectors including Garretts own GTX always compare themselves to the Sea Hunter

[@calebvasquez1]

so what is the best metal detector.. I'm one of those guys that will just pay and get it over with without looking into all the mumbo jumbo.

[@DiggerJim7202]

I hate those videos because people believe this garbage. Thanks for making this video.

[@IndianaTones]

Thank you Jim. Ain’t that the truth.

[@rossbrumby1957]

The focus on your detector usage indicates you're nottalking about the best detectors- just the best budget adventure/beach detectors. I bought my gold monster specifically for gold- and its great for that, if I want a good beach detector, I'll get a low frequency detector that suits wet salty ground. Specific purposes is what people should be looking at, not so much vague general purpose otherwise theyll buy a detector that wont do any specific purpose that well.

[@MD-NWWI]

They pick all of the cheap detectors because people are more likely to impulse. More clicks, more buys, more bucks

[@IndianaTones]

This is true !

[@davidriggenbach6672]

Does anyone know if you can take a metal detector to Turkey for example? I;ve always dreamt of finding ancient coins there
