I'm looking into getting me a metal detector, but im not going to spend over $600.00 for one, I like the whites but man they cost, I am favoring a Fisher 1270, looked at some Garrett's but dont know a lot about them... any of you out there have any experience with any good metal detectors, Im going to hunt beaches, old home steads and civil war fields, just if you wondered what I was going to use in on....Im still leaning towards the fisher 1270... thanks in advance!!!!
