Metal detectors

[cgraham]

I have been using a lot of salvaged doors and lumber lately. I think it is time to invest in a metal detector. Anybody have one that they like or dislike?

Unless you are using lumber thicker than a couple of inches you might look at the cheaper Little Wizard.  I use mine to find hidden fasteners all the time.  For less than $25 it isn't much of a risk.

I have a Garrett Super Scanner (very similar to the one used in airports).  It works really well.  So well, in fact, I can't even use it in the hand my watch is on!
