Question by Raven: What’s the difference between adult and “junior” metal detectors?
I’m 13 and about five two and i don’t know if I should get a regular or “junior” metal detector because I’m not exactly sure what the difference is. There are two of them for the same price, one adult and one junior, I just wanted to know which I should go for. (It’s my first metal detector.)
Oh ya and I wanted to know which I should use based off of what I said?
(age, height, and the fact that it would be my first metal detector)
