Some folks think it’s silly to own a machine without a screen, while others are just fine with a Tesoro-type detector that features only knobs. Ground mineralization aside, there are a few other reasons why you might want to have additional coil sizes in your bag. When that happens, you’re forced to reduce your sensitivity, and thus reducing your depth. First, ground conditions and mineralization play a huge role in which size coil to use. Another thing to consider is the stock coil that comes with your detector.

The world’s first metal detector to use multiple field directions, the Interceptor DF achieves a 100% detection sensitivity increase. The search coil is fully waterproof, so you can find treasure on land and in water. The GPX 4800 Gold Metal Detector, featuring Minelab’s exclusive technologies builds on the strengths of its predecessor the GPX 4500 also offers some of the features found in the high performance GPX 5000 Gold Metal Detector.
When you’ve made a proper sweep of your yard offer metal-detecting services to friends and family. That’s because you need to remove some sensitivity from your detector. So many aspects affect how deeply a detector can visit sense metal that it’s impossible to give a straight answer. Low-frequency machines at 2-4 kHz are best for deep-seeking everything, mid frequency 5-12 kHz for relics, jewelry and coins, and higher frequencies for gold.
A new generation of treasure hunters scavenging for treasures in a hay stack. Sondra and the gang from Garrett Metal Detectors at a trade show. Michael and Daniel attend Treasure Week in Seymour Indiana, one of the largest organized treasure hunts in the country.
An entry level metal detector will pick up all of these metals, but if you want to find a certain type of object, say gold, you’re more likely to find it with a specialized detector that runs a high frequency. It has a large 7 x 10-inch search coil for better depth and discrimination and runs on an 8kHz frequency that you can adjust.
I once checked every thumbnail-size crystal in my collection to see which ones would cause a metal detector to react, with some interesting results. This durable, lightweight and sensitive device can be used in a variety of industries that currently employ an existing in-line metal detector.
If the metal detector is to be used on rare occasions, then a normal one will serve the purpose. All purpose metal detectors also have water proof material and they can be used to search the edges of rivers or lakes for lost coins and jewellery. When deciding the type of metal detector to buy, it is good to determine where it is going to be used. Before buying a metal detector, it is important to consider the following factors. The best metal detector is one that suits the users’ personal needs and wants.
We pride ourselves on being totally devoted to metal detectors and as such we manufacture nothing else. However, patients with pacemakers or other medical issues may request to bypass the metal detectors and be scanned with a wand. Research has produced no information which would indicate that our metal detectors or wands have any adverse effects on a person’s health in general.
High-frequency metals such as gold register a high reading whereas low frequency like iron will fall lower on the scale. All metal will obviously detect everything, full discrimination will ignore low-value targets like iron, and tone discrimination will emit a different tone for each find. The Bounty Hunter has three search modes – all metal, tone discrimination and full discrimination. Metal detecting is not a hobby for the impatient that need immediate results. Pulse induction is a speciality machine for the serious beach and salt water detectorists.
