: I plan to buy a good metal detector. Been considering Whites,
: and Garrett's. Both have digital and non digital.
: What I want it for is both looking for coins and looking
: for barried coins in jars/cans/tinboxes ect. around old farm
: places and such.
: Which one is the very best for this kind of serious work?
: I want the best for my money.
I would suggest you go with the Whites. Better quality, better R&D department, broader dealer base and support. Also would suggest trying a mid-range first like the IDX or 6000 DI Pro. There is a shorter learning curve, quicker operator changes, less expensive, and yet still has good depth and discrimination.
