THE BEST METAL DETECTORS

What do Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, Benjamin Gates and the Goonies have in common? They all are fictional characters, of course, but they are also treasure hunters. One was looking for valuable artifacts, one for riches hidden in ancient tombs, one for lost valuables from the US history and last for ancient pirates treasure.

They all were adventurous and extremely successful as treasure hunters, but we believe that their struggles would be much easier if their equipment contained a metal detector. This is an instrument that detects the presence of metal, no matter if it is buried underground, placed under water or hidden within another object.

In our offer of metal detectors you may find products from two top companies specializing in this kind of devices: Garret and Nokta, popular among both amateurs and professionals. They are characterized with best quality, high operating frequency, detection of different types of metals and durable design.

Below you will find examples of different metal detectors they offer. The ranking was made with the focus on different features and applications of the detectors.

Hand held

One of the simplest and thus the cheapest metal detectors are the handheld ones. They are small, easy to carry, lightweight and compact. Garret offers a waterproof metal detector AT PRO-POINTER that can be easily held in a hand. It is waterproof, dust resistant, and thank to its bright orange color, it can be easily seen under water or on the ground, while lost and buried under leaves. It contains LED diode that enables searching in the dark, automatic calibration, and precise object location. This device is small, yet very efficient. Due to its compact size, it is recommended for beginners who start their adventure with treasure hunting.

Standard

If you are not crazy about treasure hunting and you don’t need top-notch device, Garret Ace 150 would be a perfect choice for you.

Underwater

Treasures may be hidden everywhere – dug in the sand, under stones and even under water. Nokta PulsDive metal detector detects valuables both on land and underwater but its water resistance feature is the function that distinguishes this model.
