What is metal detecting at its core?

Answer: Using a device to locate buried metal objects


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/

AI Overview

At its core, metal detecting is the practice of using a device that generates an electromagnetic field to detect the presence of metal objects by sensing the secondary magnetic field induced in the metal when it interacts with the primary field, essentially allowing the user to locate buried or hidden metallic items by detecting the electrical currents created within them when the detector's field passes over them; this is usually signaled by an audible alert or display on the device.

Popular brands include Explorer, Yaesu and Kenwood.
They don't sell Motorola HT's which would be too expensive for a beginner and I think the other two choices don't make HT's. Looks like they screwed up again. Good luck you'll need it.

Perhaps they'll correct it later in the day. Explorer should be the correct answer based on the information on their own web site. Explorer is the only HT they sell that goes for less than $75 dollars.
