get a good detector, i use a couple of whites, a goldbug and a spectrum xlt for artifacts. have found several hundred coins, rings, baubles and a ton of trash. nothinng worth much, but it's a lot of fun. a pinpointer (whites} really helps when sifting pay dirt
Whites folded up and sold out to Garrett. Don’t know what Garrett’s intentions are with it in the future. In highly mineralized ground like say AZ or NV I’ve always had difficulty operating a White’s detector. My preference nowadays are the Minelab machines, the GM 1000 for nuggets and the Equinox 800 for coin, relic and beach. Also have a Garrett ATX pulse induction machine. It’s comparable to Minelab’s SDC 2300, but much heavier. I’d rather have the SDC, but the price I got the used one time ATX was just too good.
