i want a cheap (new or used) detector that is a bear for finding ferrous metal..any suggestions ?
Explanation;
I have a Troy Shadow x2 which has served my THing needs very well for about 10 years...I don't TH very much.
My job in retirement though, is administrator for a local cemetery. In this job I must locate and mark out new graves, going by ceramic cylinders about 2.5 x 8 inches, buried vertically. These are often times overgrown and very difficult to locate. I have been driving pieces of steel such as bolts etc in beside these markers when I locate them, figuring to pick them up with my Troy Shadow, but now I find (after talking with Troy himself) that the Troy X2, was built to "tune out" ferrous material..although the X3 can tune it in if desired.
So, I want a little cheapie that just loves the ferrous stuff and is not a "battery hog'. How about the bottom of the line Bounty Hunter for kiddies ?
