American Hawks Navigator Metal Detector With LCD Display - An Expert Review
For metal detecting units priced under 80 USD, this is the very best around. While it is true that it doesn't have a target identification meter, the discrimination control it has is more then decent and the depth it delivers is very good especially when you consider the price.

I decided to do a test on it, and I was able to detect a US penny 7 inches away from the search coil. I don't know about you BUT that's remarkable for the money I invested in the American Hawks Navigator Metal Detector With LCD Display.

Having owned well over 20 other metal detectors, with some of them costing $1000 or more, (you see, I was a metal detector repair man back in the 80s and I have used almost all of the models in the market for the past 3 decades), I would highly recommend the American Hawks Navigator Metal Detector With LCD Display as the best starter detector one could lay his hands on.

And even if I'm already a veteran, I'm planning to use it, too - in gravel and dirt parking lots. From my experience, these are the places where this metal detector shines the most.

The search rod, I can't say it's long as it is only 6 feet and an inch. BUT I think this is sufficient. The housing, on the other hand, is well made and pretty solid.

If you are just starting out in the metal detecting hobby, if you are on the hunt for a metal detector to get you started in the right direction, and if you do NOT want to end up $700 to $1000 poorer, by all means, go for the American Hawks Navigator Metal Detector With LCD Display!

The features, ease of use, etc. it delivers is unbeatable for its price range.
