Delivered as promised and no shipping charge

I ordered a Minelab detector two days before the end of a huge sale. I received email confirmation of the sale right away and a shipping notice about a week later. This was over a holiday and the demand for the machine was certainly high, so waiting a few days beyond the normal 3 -5 was no big deal. It came FedEx and a signature was required, so no worry about porch pirates. I would buy again from Modern Metal Detectors in a heartbeat.

Great service and price for my X-Terra Elite

Really happy with my purchase, it arrived on time and in great shape. I was notified through out the whole process. I found a shotgun cap, a dime, two quarters, 2 pennies and 2 brass screw on my first outing. I would order from Modern Metal Detectors again, no sales tax and a military discount as well.

Moreland Manticore Sale

I found out about Modern Metal Detectors by watching a YouTube video. I saw that many companies had the Manticore on sale but Modern Metal Detectors through in free carrying case, gloves and other items, so I had to go with them! Great deal and communication and fast shipping. Thank you to Modern Metal Detectors!

Loving it!

Very versatile and light. All the features I could want and more. The Elite has plenty of power to find the deep targets so much that I have to hold it back to do some coin snipping! But it’s great to know that power is there whenever I go relic hunting.
Great service from Modern Metal Detectors and the gifts were greatly appreciated. I would recommend this detector to anyone!
