Dig Doug in UK -
There are several seller sof these detectors - trick is finding the cheapest. I bought one from Maplins and found it was useful up to a depth of 5" which considering on some fields coins are found 4-6" which means you will find something.. Maplins do better models around £100 which will go deeper - 8-10".
Its okay for experienced detectorists to slate cheaper machines, but if your only a beginer you probably get better value for money on one of these than bottom range well known brands - not everyone has £600 to spend. There is a fair amount of snobery involved with detecting especially where machines are concerned.

Treasure Hunter 3030 Trash or Treasure?
Blaze312 in MI, USA -
For anyone looking at purchasing this metal detector I ask you to consider your options. I purchased this metal detector from eBay for $200. My initial reaction was, "I got scammed". Actually I'm still not sure that I didn't. The street price for the detector is not $695. DO NOT let the treasure hunter web site fool you. This detector is a cheap overseas import(maplin) that has been re-branded. The street value is no more then $200, probably closer to $100. Althought this detector does indeed detect metal, you have very little idea what it is your digging up until you actually dig it up. Sometimes coins show up as trash, and sometimes trash shows up as coins. I would suggest another brand, unless you can get this one for cheap.

I purchased this item on ebay and advise anyone over 6yrs thinking of buying one not to, it is nothing more than a cheap toy, due to the advert i believed i was getting a quality product and paid above what its worth, am bitterly disapointed and will be going to trading standards if i dont get a refund.
I would like to say O star but have no choice.

EXCELENT value for money...
Jimbob in England -
You can pay a premium for the features you get with the 3030. And it REALLY works. It's ideal as a first detector, since it's a motion type (so no ground balance) etc. Computer controlled, only has one knob for volume (hate knobs personally as they always end up 'crakeling' and has been the demise of all my previous detectors). Clear display even tells you how deep to dig. I got mine from Maplins (on special for £49 i think) and for that money it really is a steal. Don't be fooled by the fools who'll pay lots (£600+) for a brand name, but probably less features. Ulimately like DVD players and everything else, China makes a cheap (and sometimes good) clone of the same circuitry in most of these expensive western made products. So please stop with the, 'poor value' 'low quality' comments, they don't apply to this particular product. It's cheap, it works. So it's EXCELENT value.

Outstanding Detector for the Price
H. Clagwell in Bend, Oregon USA -I have had mine for several months now and have found it to quite the performer. Furthermore, its balance and weight make it very comfortable to use for hours. The unit seems to be quite strong as it has fallen down a rocky hillside and only suffered a couple of scratches. I was impressed to see that the darn thing stayed intact and is still fully operational. Right now, I cant thing of anything negative to say about the 3030.

Pipebender75 in England -These detectors are currently being offered on ebay with most bids reaching �£100+ Do not be fooled. The same unit is available at Maplin for around �£75. They are cheap 'Made In China' items and do not offer value for money. Take my advice and pay a little extra for a branded name. If you can pick one up for around �£50 it may be worth the investment as an entry level detector.
