Questions & Answers
How well does the g 500 do on finding coins..and what is the price range Expert Answer

Unfortunately, the Garrett Investigator G-500 Ground Search Metal Detector is no longer available. I would recommend the Minelab Vanquish 340 Metal Detector, on the lower price end, and the Minelab Equinox 800 Metal Detector on the higher price end. Both can be found by using the links below and are capable of detecting silver, gold, jewelry and more.
