Anyone buying a hobby metal detector for the first time should start with a good entry-level model. Searching with a metal detector is a learning process. The many options offered by expensive professional metal detectors are unnecessary for beginners. You will benefit much more from a good hobby metal detector that has all the basic principles. It is also not advisable to start with a cheap "toy" detector, as this will detract from the hobby because you will find almost nothing and the detector will soon disappear into the attic. If you want to start this hobby seriously, we recommend starting with an entry-level metal detector. You should expect a budget of between 150 and 600 Euros. Recommended brands include Nokta, Garrett, XP, Quest, Teknetics, Fisher, C.Scope, and Bounty Hunter. For a good start in the metal detecting hobby, it is also advisable to purchase a pinpointer, a good shovel or digging spade, and a finds pouch. A pinpointer is very important for precisely locating the object in the ground and helps to unearth finds more quickly. Before you start with your metal detector, it is also very important to first familiarize yourself with metal detecting legislation.

This is a question we get asked very often! And there's no clear answer to it. It's not necessarily true that the most expensive metal detector is the best metal detector for you. Personal preferences, knowledge, and your experience play a big role. Professional metal detectors in the higher price segment naturally search deeper than an entry-level metal detector and have significantly more setting options. However, this can also be a disadvantage. If you don't have enough knowledge/experience and have configured something incorrectly, this will negatively affect the search performance and finds. It takes time to learn how to use your detector. In general, it can be said: whoever masters their detector will have the greatest success. Before you buy a metal detector, we recommend that you think about your wishes and preferences and make a decision based on them. Of course, we have also created an overview of the top 10 best metal detectors for beginners and a top 10 of the best professional metal detectors. We hope this helps you make the right choice.
