$120 For Used White's Beach Hunter ID - Worth It?


Recommended Posts

I'm completely new to this hobby so I'm looking for used metal detectors to get started. I found a used White's Beach Hunter ID Metal Detector, but it's missing the rod to hold the coil with. I want to use this while snorkeling in the ocean. I have several questions:

- Is this a good price for this metal detector?

- Is it safe to use in saltwater? If so, how deep can you submerge it?

- Is it okay that it is missing a rod? Would it still be easy to use for snorkeling?

- What should I do to check it still works when I buy it?

Several reviews on the BHID, some good some ok, some fair. I had a friend that used one for several years, in the water, no diving but submerged. He liked it and just bought the Legend. 

120 is good if it works

Do you have any recommendations for the missing rod? Is it usable without a rod, or should I be looking for a new one?

The most important thing is to make sure the machine works as it should. I would see if I could find a manual and go from there. A lower rod is something that can be made, from just about anything.. except metal.

If it works as it should 120 is excellent. Find a few gold, have some fun....Like I said I had a friend, Lance who used one for years and liked it and did good. Really its a matter of getting the coil over the treasure before it sinks, gets covered or someone else finds it.

Had a friend in Oc Md who scored a nice gold..10 plus years ago?
