The battle to be best - Minelab wins again!.

Being Europe's largest detector suppliers since 1968 we have a wide experience of all the detector manufacturers and their different models. The question we are asked the most is probably the one you'd like an answer to right now: "What is the best detector I can buy for under £xx?"

Generally, if you can afford a Minelab machine you are getting the best value for money available today - every machine in the range combines power, depth, discrimination, programmability, style and overall performance in a way quite unrivalled by their competitors.

The Minelab Explorer II has long been regarded as THE machine for the professional detectorist. With new models joining the range over the last year you can now buy a Minelab from just £349!.

• Minelab Explorer II - £899
• Minelab Quattro MP - £625
• Minelab Sovereign GT - £549
• Minelab X-Terra 505 - £499
• Minelab Musketeer Pro - £359
• Minelab X-Terra 305 - £349

If your budget won't stretch to a Minelab machine we generally choose the Bounty Hunter range for the £69-£279 awards.
