Snowhite sorry I would,nt know how to do that, a bit of a technophobe with all this.Just about got the hang of being able to use this forum and do the odd e-mail. I just put into Google you tube metal detecting and loads come up. Worth a look though as you are interested in this.

Hi X plore, I deffo going to get a metal detector before Xmas. I have been looking at all the different ones and seems to be the garret 150 or 250 that seems to be the best option. I know you have 250 but what would you advise , is the 150 any good? I,m just thinking money wise but is it better just to go that bit more for 250 ?Thanks

Defo worth getting the 250 rather than the 150, the display discriminates more. I've got both the 150 and the 250, and wouldn't use the 150 to be honest. You know what your digging out the ground better with the 250.
Are you buying brand new or second hand?

We'll have been looking at the second hand and auctions on e-bay but you would have to be really quick because if any good it is snapped up with seconds to spare.So think I will have to buy new all around £180 mark.I thought the 250 would be best because if I find it's not for me don,t think I will have too much trouble selling it. What do you say?

you can also get the 250 for £169 new from Graeme at unearthed so not really worth buying second hand on ebay you end up paying more

They hold there value well so wouldn't have any trouble getting rid.
As jeff says, you can get them cheaper from his mate at the unearthed website. Have you thought about the eurotek pro? I've got one of those aswel lol jeff loves them but I prefer the garrett.

Thanks Jeff and Xplore for all your help. I only seem to have read glowing reports about the 250 and how it is a good one for beginners so think that would be better for me. That is cheap compared to others I have seen but the ones I looked at thrown in the headphones and DVD etc as well.Do you need headphones?

you don't need the headphones or the dvd there both rubbish but they come free with the detector anyway so it doesn't matter the eurotek is definatley a better detector though
