Nokta Makro metal detectors for beginners

When you are just getting started in the world of metal detecting, choosing the best metal detector for beginners seems overwhelming. Although metal detectors differ in many ways, the basic function of a metal detector is the same.

You do not have to break the bank when you start and finding the best entry-level metal detector should be easy. Pick a comprehensive metal detector with outstanding performance, practice, and once you decide it needs an upgrade, sell it and buy a new one.

All metal detectors will look for metal, and you do not need an advanced metal detector to find metals. There are many factors that you can use to determine the best metal detector for you. These factors can take on different levels of importance for each person, as each metal detector has a different purpose, techniques, and setting.

An important, sometimes overlooked factor when choosing a metal detector is the weight of the metal detector. While half a pound does not seem to make much of a difference, it certainly does when you spend the afternoon moving your detector.

If you do not have a lightweight detector, especially if you do not have a lot of physical strength, this can make your metal detecting experience less enjoyable. You should stick to a metal detector from two to four pounds in weight. If it weighs more than that, you have probably bought advanced metal detectors that have increased efficiency and cost more.

In most cases, you should be able to balance a two to four-pound metal detector easily. Weight might be high or low on your factor list, but it should always be considered.

Operating frequencies can be tricky if you've never used a metal detector. However, the basics of frequency for metal detectors are pretty simple. Typically, the higher the operating frequency of your metal detector, the more sensitive it will be, which means it can detect small objects.

On the other hand, a higher operating frequency generally means a reduction in detection depth. In contrast, lower operating frequencies mean less sensitivity to smaller objects and a greater depth of detection.

Many metal detectors on the market today allow you to alter the frequency, but they are generally priced much higher than entry-level metal detectors. The operating frequency is usually designed to be suitable in all-purpose metal detecting when it comes to starter metal detectors.

Generally, an entry-level detector usually has a fixed ground balance function or an automatic ground balance function. This is done to prevent beginners from avoiding the hassle of learning about ground balancing. However, it is easy to understand once you have some practice. 

Nokta Makro metal detectors have a wide range of products that can be great for beginners. 

Simplex from Nokta Makro is one of the best beginner metal detectors out there, which allows you to use automatic or manual ground balance. The ground balance values can be found in the user manual.

If you're hunting in highly mineral-rich soil, manually balancing the ground can reduce signal interference and increase detection depth.
