We have one from the cold, dark winter when Dan's ring flew off his finger and landed in our gravel driveway. I suggested he go to MIT and talk to friends about borrowing a metal detector cause they must have one, but he only found people who explained how to make them. So he bought one at radio snack for about $20.

If you want to borrow it, I'll make him dig it up.

The problem with cheap ones like that is that their depth capabilities, contrary to what the box might say, is about 2 inches max. Also, there's just about zero discrimination, and you can't control the ground balance or the sensitivity.

Yeah, I'm a detector snob. My apologies.
