We offer a wide range of metal detectors for all experience levels, from beginner-friendly models to professional-grade detectors. Our collection includes all-purpose detectors, gold detectors, waterproof models, and advanced multi-frequency detectors.

The price of a decent metal detector depends on your experience level and what you plan to search for. Here’s a general guide:

  • Entry-Level (Under $300): Ideal for beginners, these detectors offer basic features like discrimination and target ID. Good for coins and small relics.
  • Mid-Range ($300-$700): A great balance of performance and price. These models have improved depth, better discrimination, and often waterproof coils—perfect for hobbyists.
  • High-End ($700+): Professional detectors with multi-frequency technology, advanced ground balancing, and superior depth detection. Best for gold prospecting and serious treasure hunting.

Yes, metal detecting is legal in the U.S., but there are laws and regulations depending on where you search. Here are the key points:

  • Private Property: You must have permission from the landowner before detecting.
  • National Parks & Federal Lands: Metal detecting is prohibited on National Park Service (NPS) land, historical sites, and Native American lands.
  • State Parks: Rules vary by state—some allow detecting with permits, while others restrict it entirely.
  • Beaches & Public Lands: Many public beaches allow metal detecting, but some require permits. Check with local authorities.
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM) & Forest Service Lands: Detecting is usually allowed, but removing historical artifacts (over 100 years old) is illegal.

Before detecting, always check local laws and get permission to avoid fines or legal issues. >>Learn more

Many of our metal detectors are waterproof or have waterproof search coils. If you plan to search in wet environments, check out models like the JW Fishers Pulse 8X or the JW Fishers Diver Mag 1, which are fully submersible.

Single-frequency detectors operate on one frequency at a time, making them great for general-purpose detecting.

Multi-frequency detectors scan multiple frequencies simultaneously, providing better depth and accuracy for different types of metals in varying ground conditions.

Detection depth depends on the model, search coil size, and target size. Most standard metal detectors can detect coins up to 8-12 inches deep, while advanced detectors can locate objects 820 feet/250m underground.
