I have a limited budget £250
I am from SCOTLAND UK........and never done metal detecting before but I have been researching for a month now..
Here's my choices list...
1......NOKTA SCORE on sale for £250... RRP...£299-£350
2......NOKTA SIMPLEX LITE £199
3.....NOKTA FINDX PRO £169
I really like the NOKTA FINDX PRO plus you get accessories inc, headphones bag and digging tool....
and a nice DD 11" (SX28) coil....
and is fully submersable ip-68
NOKTA SCORE. (SMF) technology. DD Coil 12" x 9" (SC30)
Not sure if Scottish soils are heavily mineralized.....they do contain alot of PEAT...
NOKTA SIMPLEX LITE.... smaller DD Search Coil 9.5x6” (SX24)
more options than Score but no SMF...smaller coil...and No wireless Bluetooth
.
Main area of use for the machine will be
Ploughed Dirt and Flat Clay Soil Fields....
Woodland Scrub
River Banks and Shallow Fresh Water 1-3 ft..........
