Obviously it ain't gonna be fantastic but just wondered if it's worth hundred notes. Any used it or into metal detecting?

Dunno what it's worth, but I used to go detecting with a rubbish $50 detector from DSE many moons ago. Used to find money down the beach in the sand after a busy weekend by bathers. Even found a Victorian penny at one beach, along with a gold watch.

So Kevin, did you end up buying the red Ferrari?

Yep, i was considering one of those, i wouldn't know if it was any good as i have never used one in the first place. LOL.

Take your $100 and go to blackjack table.

Seriously,I have owned many detectors,those cheap ones no good.

If on a budget,check out 'Bounty hunter' brand,there cheap one -around $250 ish would be a much better buy.

Well I went out that day, got the last one and it reduced to $50, plus I've foung $4.60 on the kerbside outside our house so it's 10% paid for itself already.

My boss's mate started out with one of these cheap detectors as a hobby.

From the stuff that he found, he used it to upgrade his detector gear. Now hes got like a miners grade detector that can detect really deep stuff.

He scouts locations with a historical past for possible relics.
