Now we are going to start to look at the manufacturers and metal detector models in a bit more detail. The home page gave a great overview of the top ten metal detectors which should guide you on your search for the perfect machine. As we drill down into the site we will look at the models in more detail, on this page we are going to give you an overview of the manufacturers of detectors before moving into the model specific reviews.
The aim of our reviews is to give you as much information as possible about all aspects of your metal detector purchase. From the details about the manufacturer down to the smallest little feature that could effect how you use your machine. We are all buying for different reasons so we hope that cover all of the aspects you are looking at.
Looking at the manufacturers is an important part of your search as they all represent different things and specialise in slightly different areas. All of us buy products for very different reasons so it is nice to know a bit about who you are purchasing from. Many of us like to stick to the most well known brands and rely on the fact that a lot of other people have bought the same product. Some of us like to buy British and make sure that our hard earned money is put back into the UK economy and others may be looking for a very specific feature on a model. In this case it is important that you run through all of the detailed model reviews to get a deep insight into each machine.
There are various ways in which you can reach the specific model reviews. From this page you can click down into the individual manufacturer pages and then down into the specific model reviews or you can click through to the individual models from the home page. If you know the model you want to read about you can use the menu to navigate your way to the model review.
