I have made the decision to get my first metal detector. I first wanted to get one to use for gold hunting, but quickly realised due to limited travel options, that if I got a dedicated gold detector, it would sit in the cupboard more often than not. Since I live near plenty of beaches (a 15 minute walk to the closest one), I added treasure detecting to my list of requirements.
I read a lot of reviews and watched what feels like a 1000 YouTube videos. From that research I became aware that no one detector will do an excellent job at all types of detecting - just like the saying, "jack of all trades, master of none".
I have now narrowed down my possible purchases to the Whites MXT Pro and the Minelab X-Terra 705 (dual detecting pack).
Before I make my final decision, I am hoping PA members who have used these 2 detectors can give me their opinions based on their experiences.
