Hi All Have been interested in MD for sometime. Have decided to buy a detector from a Chinese site anyone any experience with such sites for detector. From Balbriggan wondering if you get much hassle from the public when detecing on the beach.

Hi Welcome,
Tested brands are always a better option when buying a detector and a quality second hand one is worth considering. We all like to think the next new release is better than the last one it's not always the case but we keep doing it. This is why we see some great detectors for sale in our buy and sell section and at bargain prices.
Most members of the public are fine when they see people enjoying their hobby of metal detecting some even find it comforting to see somebody around just in-case something goes wrong. We do get the odd crank know it all who think they have a legal degree because they misinterpreted a news article. They may even claim what you are doing is forbidden by law but only because they don't know the law. Still you need to be careful you only detect approved areas and never on protected sites or monuments, research is key to safe detecting.
Enjoy.

Welcome along mc16! I only had a negative experience once from an eejit who thought he knew it all....he didnt! But 99% of time, people are just curious if you had any luck.
Plenty of beaches near you so and a load of agriculture, crops are being harvested now, perfect time to ask a farmer for permission!!

Welcome to the site & definitely go for a tested brand, don't need to spend huge money, can go second hand either.

Welcome MC16. Buy a recommended brand, don't buy detectors from Chinese sites. They may be cheaper but they will be cheaper (ie. crappy).
