A new form of therapy....
I picked up a "middle-of-the-road" metal detector, and I'm planning to hit a couple of beach areas over the season, when I'm not fishing of course.
I hope to burn a few calories and hopefully make a few finds in the meantime.
Heck, I'd be happy just finding loose change in my sofa, but it's something I had been wanting to try for awhile.

How much? My girlfriend's parents just moved to Truro and I was thinking about talking with her and her brothers to see if they might want to go in together to get their dad one.

It all depends on what you would be looking for, and where you would be using it.
I paid just over $200.00 for the one I got, but that is about the middle ground in prices.
You can get a cheap kids' version for $50-$100, beginner range from $125 - $175, middle range from $200-$300 or one with all thge bells and whistles from $300-$400
It all depends on what you would be looking for, and what you are willing to spend.
Check out online stores for places like Whites Metal detectors, or even just check out Cabelas, BassPro or similar stores.
That should give you enough to start your search.
Good luck!

Johnny FYI, it is against policy to use a metal detector on the Seashore . The thought is that anything found on the beach belongs to the people, not some dedicated individual who has spent his time, money and effort diligently searching for treasure. I have seen them hassle many a person on the beach. One of my friends had a broken detector that he brought to the beach to keep the kids entertained (guess what? they didn't find anything) and a ranger pulled up and told him they had to stop. He explained that it didn't work, and she still wanted him to stop using it!!
I hope that they don't want all of those plugs and sea clams I've picked up over the years -

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

It's surprising that they let associations do beach cleanups. "Excuse me sir. You're gonna have to put all that trash back, it belongs to the people."
I wish they'd use that "belongs to the people" mentality from May-August.  |
