I wouldn't play down your Garret - superb machines that take a LOT of beating at any price. Edited June 4, 2020 by bruno22rf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 2 hours ago, senna916 said: Yes, Hello, well unless you understand how these types of detectors work I would suggest start off with a basic one, a single khz switch on and go, I had a minelab safari and setting that up took some time to learn and I have used many detectors, In fact I just used 1 setting from the pre programmed of 4, what I liked most was multi frequency which the 600 and 800 have, if I was going to start detecting from the beginning now I would look at a nokta simplex or even like mine now a golden mask 1 plus UK, if you want to know more on the 800 join the UK metal detecting forum and find a chap called Fred, he is an expert with these detectors Google UK MDF , cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senna916 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Thanks for the information, I've been watching YouTube videos for the last month while on lockdown and know it's going to be a learning curve but I think I'll be ok. I've also joined quite a few groups on FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
