Detector field station
A metal detector finder that matches where you hunt, your experience and waterproofing needs to our picks.
Where you hunt decides most of what a detector needs: salt-beach modes, gold sensitivity or waterproofing. Answer a few questions and the finder narrows our picks to the machines built for it.
Target ID scales, ferrous and non-ferrous ranges and the maker's own caveats, quoted from six official detector manuals.
Frequency, ID scale, waterproof rating, weight, stock coil and battery for 72 metal detectors, each row linked to the maker's own page or manual.
Which coils fit which detectors, taken first from the detector maker's own fit list, with aftermarket makers' claims labeled as theirs.
Metal detecting rules quoted from the statute, park rule or agency page, with source URL and checked-on date, plus the federal layer.
Pick where you will hunt and a price band for a full metal detecting kit: detector, pinpointer, digger, pouch and gloves, each with a sourced reason.
Choose a metal detector by hunting ground, experience, waterproofing and budget band, with picks drawn from this site's best-of pages.
