Metal Detector Buying Tips 3

I have been buying and selling both new and used metal detectors for almost twenty years now. At one point in my career I was actually the contributing editor for Hot Metal, a metal detector magazine in Sheffield, UK. Through this experience I have come to the conclusion that the most important feature in any metal detector is the ability to modulate the pitch of the machine. As we all grow older our ears become more sensitive to certain frequencies and less so to others. This is why many councils in England are now using sound based deterrent technologies to stop young people congregating in inconvenient locations. The key point here, as it applies to metal detectors, is that you need to look for a model which allows you to control the pitch modulation of the little bleep that sounds in the headphones. If you follow this advice you'll have detecting equipment for life, not just for middle age.
