Metal Detecting Gift Ideas by Price: Stocking Stuffers to Pro-Level Gear

A good gift for someone who likes metal detecting is one that works with any detector: a waterproof pinpointer, a quality hand digger or shovel, a finds pouch, digging gloves or a metal detecting book. A pinpointer is the most useful upgrade for most detectorists; our best-selling pinpointer is the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT. Browse our gifts from $100 to $250 for pinpointers.

Metal detecting gifts that work with any detector include pinpointers, digging tools and shovels, finds pouches and bags, gloves, hats, sand scoops and gold panning gear. Headphones, search coils, coil covers and batteries depend on the detector model, so check the model name on the control box or ask us before buying those. Start with our stocking stuffers for small gifts.

For under $50 you can get a metal detectorist a finds pouch, a hand digger or compact shovel, digging gloves, a pinpointer lanyard, a sand scoop, a gold pan or a metal detecting book. Everything in our metal detecting gifts under $50 collection starts under $50.

A good gift for a gold prospector is gear they go through or upgrade often: gold pans, classifiers, snuffer bottles, gold vials, a crevice or suction tool, or a sluice box. Our SD Exclusives include TerraX gold pans, classifiers and sluice boxes, and the full range is in our gold prospecting gear.

Yes, we sell Serious Detecting gift cards. A gift card is the safest choice when you do not know which detector someone owns, since they can pick headphones, a coil or any other model-specific gear themselves.
