Cannot find metal detector in RDR2

Jump to Best Response

So this is dumb, but I think it might be a glitch because elsewhere on the web this hasn't been an issue it seems.  I purchased the metal detector (and confirmed that by going to the Madame Nazar and trying to buy the metal detector again), but I cannot find my metal detector to use it.  It is not in my item wheel nor is it in my satchel.  Does anyone have any idea about what could be going on?  Thanks!

Hold L1 tap R2 to go into “items” move cursor to R hit R2 to cycle to Metal Detector.

It happened the same to me. Did you find the solution?

Nope.  I have been in contact with rock star support, but it has been slow.  They asked for a video to be uploaded and then said their engineers are looking into it.  I wouldn't care if I had to rebuy it, I am just annoyed that the game is messed up for me.

Its in your inventory on the second screen with the bag symbol on the right side "middle one". You have to switch through it and there it is! (:

Yeah the menu is sometimes a real pain in the "piep"

You need to buy a Pennington Field Shovel from Madame Lazar first and then buy a Metal detector to unblock it.  :hugging_face:

It looks like a latern. Thats why we mistook it for a metal detector. Its under items when you go into the weapon wheel and you need to tab across to item. Where your binoculars are, you scroll till you hit something that looks like a latern. Its the metal detector.
