Can you guys make some suggestions on the best rig to start out with (without breaking the bank!)? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 07:11 am Welcome CoinGuyTN. Just saw this post as I was looking to post to the forum. Honestly, all detectors will find coins/relics. The added spend for advanced machinery simply makes the entire process easier (filtering out trash, depth, etc...) While MineLab is, by far, the top of the line for coins/relics they are spendy. An Equinox 900 will set you back about $1000. Nokta is ideal for entry level metal detecting - you can get into a good machine for a fraction of the cost of a 900. What I would suggest is starting with an entry level machine - something like a Nokta Simplex (around $250). Make sure you like the hobby and if you do, upgrading your equipment is rooted in the hobby :-) My Equinox 900 has paid for itself 10 times over. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
