• Detection depth & frequency technology — multi-frequency units perform better on varying soil types (salt beach, mineralised ground).

  • Ground balance & discrimination modes — allows the detector to adjust for soil and ignore unwanted metal types.

  • Build quality & usability — weight, waterproofing, ease of use for long sessions.

  • Brand/support & parts availability — especially important in Pakistan; avoid obscure brands with no local service.

  • Price vs value for your terrain/use-case — as a Pakistani buyer the landed cost (duty/shipping) matters.

  • Purpose-specific features — beach use, gold nugget detection, relic hunting, or security/buried-metal locating all demand slightly different specs.
