Thanks a bunch guys and gals .

Am totally going to use you guys for all my metal detector needs .Bought a vanquish 560 and besides the wait on shipment due to a pre order once they hit they were to ship it out asap and that's what they did .so far so good loving the hunts so far yet getting the hang of it .I did have the 540 and that was a beast expecting this one the 560 to top that ....and it's doing a great job .Thanks once again u guys have my respects .

Built like a tank! Superb construction, however it is pretty heavy as far as sand scoops go. It's around 6lbs, so if you want a lightweight scoop you may want to consider other options, but if you are looking for a scoop that is built tough and will last for multiple seasons and you don't mind the weight this is a solid purchase. I also like the single clevis pin for attaching the scoop to tye handle. Motley also has other metal detecting shovels and hand diggers, all are quality made.

Great Shovel

This is an amazing shovel. Makes the job much easier. Highly recommended.

Previous shovel was Garrett Relic Digger. This cost approximately $25 more and is completely worth it.

Where the two pieces join, there is the tiniest amount of give. This might bother someone, but it shouldn’t. Does not effect performance.

Makes the job easier.

The best customer service ever !

The owner responds to your questions 24 x 7. It's amazing ! Daniel answering all my questions as I searched to purchase detectors for my wife and I. I found their web site easy to navigate, informative and order process was easy (even for a senior). Product received from accross the countery in just a few days, packaged well. My experience with Modern could not be better. I highly recommend them, and already have to friends !

Minelab Equinox 900 Metal Detector

I pre-ordered the Vanquish 560 when it was announced a few months ago. Modern Metal offered a competitive price as well as a military discount. I took advantage of that and waited. Modern kept in communication so I knew what was going on.
As soon as the 560 was released I was notified and a few days later my detector was on my porch. Well done!

Nokta triple score

I love it. Easy to learn. User friendly. Great price and I received it quickly.

John Ault
Nokta Triple Score 3 Pro-Pack Metal Detector

Great customer service, long story short, I have an older metal detector, wanted 1 with more modern technology. Daniel reached out, I asked a few basic questions, he confirmed the Minelab Xterra Elite is user friendly for newbies with plenty of room to grow, didn't try to upsale me, this was the one I've been eyeing. The price was better than anywhere else and it was in my hands 4 days after ordering. The free gifts were also perfect, I will only buy my metal detector accessories and my next upgraded detector from Modern Metal Detectors, quick, easy, affordable and reliable, plain and simple.
