Jim in Idaho Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Since I got interested in two-box detectors, and the use of a data-logger, and purchasing Both a 900 and 1200 from Treasure Baron in the Discovery models, my lack of non-metal boots is becoming a problem. Ever step is making a noise. can't have that. Can anybody give me a brand, and model of boot that has zero metal? All help appreciated. Lug soles would also be nice.

Mtron Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Try Keene boots. I’ve been using them for a long time. Very comfortable and hold up well. Any model without metal eyelets. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Steve Herschbach Posted December 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2023 Most of the people I know favor a desert type boot. I get into wet places more often so I favor waterproof boots. I can recommend the Keen Targhee II as light weight, lug soles, waterproof, and totally metal free. Lots of toe space, which I appreciate. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBamboo Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Jim I agree with Mtron. I also have been using Keen boots for years. No metal, long lasting and very comfortable. I think these are the style I have. Might want to call them to confirm these are the metal free style. https://www.keenfootwear.com/collections/mens-bestsellers/products/mens-targhee-ii-mid-waterproof-hiking-boots-shitake-brindle?variant=43085890551972 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Idaho Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 LOL....Good Lord! $200 for those woven boots. No wonder they last...they better, Ha! Jim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Idaho Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Sorry guys, but I just bought those two 2-box detectors and paid $200 for the two of them. $200 for boots, for a guy that has been frugal all his life, is difficult...LOL I've been looking, and few companies make non-metal boots, it seems. For what I do, and where I do it, I don't need either waterproof, or insulated. You'd think, with all our modern materials, there'd be a moderately-priced product that would get the job done. Maybe I need some old "Keds" LOL Jim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sérgio Campos Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I use work boots for electricians and electrical workings. Usually, every brand has this model’s type. I prefer the shapes that cover/touch the heel, it gives more protection, and it supports more the heel if you misstep. The ones made from leather (a bit more expensive) don´t heat so much when exposed to the sun, but the synthetic material works fine too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a pair of the no-metal desert boots. Should work fine. I can use my regular boots for the bulk of my detecting, but those Discovery two-box units are super sensitive. The reason is that you're enveloped in the magnetic field....it's much larger than the field from a regular search coil. So the eyelets in my boots set it off with every step. I have to take extra care to remove all the metal on my body.... including my hard head....LOL Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
