Today I went through my mining supplies, sorting things out andputting gear away for the winter. I noticed my metal detector gatheringdust in the corner of the shed. Shame on me. It is a great tool and Ihave neglected it. I have a Fisher Gold Bug - a few years old. Althoughseveral very fine new detectors with great add-on features have come onthe market since I purchased the unit a few years ago, it is a reliableworkhorse that gets the job done.I plan to do some traveling this winter, escape the snow for a fewweeks and visit friends and fellow prospectors in the desert. MyGoldbug is going with me. I am by no means an expert but I have had alot of fun and found a few treasures. Metal detecting is addictive andI am looking forward to once again testing my luck. The price of goldis skyrocketing and I would sure like to find a nice nugget for myefforts.Metal detecting is great exercise, another reason to be outdoors andoften a financially rewarding pursuit. If you are new to treasurehunting or thinking of becoming a detectorist, I hope you will findthese tips and guidelines useful.Metal detectors can penetrate the earth and detect an object down toabout one foot under the surface. Just how far each machine canpenetrate is determined by the type of metal or mineral you are tryingto locate, the size and density of the target, the composition of thesoil and the quality of the detector. Soil which contains a highconcentration of minerals can cause interference and will reduce depthpenetration.If you plan to purchase a metal detector, do the research. There arenumerous brands and models on the market. Like most forms oftechnology, you get what you pay for. If you invest in an inferiormachine you may find a lot of surface trash and become discouraged. Aquality machine is a sound investment that will pay for itself ratherquickly. Look for a clear readable dial, clear sound quality,comfortable weight and accessories available. Make sure the unit youchoose has a water-proof submersible coil. Does it come with earphones,rechargeable batteries and a carrying case?There are three different types of metal detectors; motiondetectors, pulse detectors and multi-frequency detectors. Motiondetectors work best for land and in fresh water usage, pulse unitsfunction best in salt water. Multi-frequency detectors are considerablymore expensive but offer the best of both worlds and are quieter andmore resistant to interference. How and where you plan to use yourdetector is a major consideration. Do you plan to explore in thedesert, at the beach or in the creek? Many top of the line units willwork in most conditions, some less expensive detectors will haveserious limitations. Many dealers have test plots where you can try outvarious units, ask questions and find the best unit for your needs.Some dealers have rental units you can try in the field prior to makinga purchase decision.Learn from the experience of others. Many people find it much easierto learn proper technique from those that have already mastered thesport. Metal detecting is a skill and other treasure hunters arepleased and proud to share their expertise. Treasure hunters arefriendly folks; listen, ask questions and closely watch someone who hasexperience. Check around in your local area for a metal detecting ortreasure hunting club or group. You will learn much more and in lesstime from other members than you will going into it alone. Depending onthe location or the terrain you wish to hunt, it is often easier andsafer to hunt with a group rather than by yourself. If you are lookingfor a prospecting buddy, you will meet a lot of great people that shareyour interest.Research and pre-planning are crucial. A lost sterling ring, an oldcoin, a gold nugget are the finds that make this hobby intriguing andexciting. If you fail to plan where you want to hunt you will find alot of trash and little treasure. More than likely, like mine, yourmetal detector will sit in the shed collecting dust.Invest some time in researching the area where you want to try yourluck. Study the history of the area, visit the courthouse for old mapsand records and read newspaper archives. You don’t even have to go tothe library, the internet allows you to research locations anywhere inthe world. If you can locate the site of old fair grounds, carnivalsand concerts locations or perhaps a field where auctions are held, youwill often find a lot of coins that were dropped. Another way to findlocal historical information is to shop local antique stores for oldpictures or postcards. Most old postcards have a photo of a significantlocale, such as parks, casinos, festivals, important buildings andbeaches which can inspire you to hunt in otherwise overlookedlocations. You will find as you explore these old sites that while thebuildings may have changed the land remains, hiding the treasuresbeneath. More lost treasures have been found by carefully research thanby swinging a metal detector at random.Many of the new detectors on the market have exceptional technologythat allows you to discriminate and bypass objects like foil, brass andrusty nails. Just remember, the more you discriminate, the less depthyou are going to have and one can easily miss a small nugget or coin.It is best to dig every signal until you thoroughly understand andrecognize all the signals your detector emits and have the experienceto wisely decide when not to dig a particular target.An old timer shared a great tip with me. Take an old gold ring orpiece of gold jewelry and glue it to a colorful poker chip. (You can dothis with caulking so it can be peeled off easily later.) Have aprospecting buddy go with and have them bury the chip in severaldifferent types of soil, i.e. sand, gravel, shale, clay. Also have thembury the chip at different depths. As you practice locating the chipover and over, you will develop a relationship with your metal detectorand will then easily recognize a signal for gold at various depths andconditions.Weather conditions will impact your treasure hunting. Ground that isthoroughly soaked after a rain or spring melt is easier to dig than sunbaked hard-pack. Wet ground also has more conductivity and you will beable to find items that are deeper than if the ground were dry. Thesands of an ocean beach are disturbed and rolled over by heavy stormsand often uncovers targets that were previously too deep to locate. Thewinds of the desert will cause a similar redistribution of the sands,often offering up a gold nugget that was deeply buried before the storm.Don't start out in an area that is highly mineralized or sooverloaded with signals that it drives you bonkers. Many units are abit tricky to ground balance, so be sure to read the manufacturer'sinstructions carefully. When you are first learning to master yourmetal detector, try a vacant field or your own back yard. Who knowswhat you may find?A sandy beach at the lake or sea shore is an excellent place tostart your hunt. While you may find items along the waters edge, trythinking as if you were coming to this beach to swim or picnic. Mostpeople will look for shade and place their towel and belongings awayfrom the water and, if available, under a shade tree. This is wheremost jewelry items, watches or coins may have been lost and are nowwaiting for you to find. Prior locations of cabanas or concessionstands are often productive.Respect the property rights of others and only dig where you havepermission. Always fill in any holes you dig and remove any trash youfind. Carry a trash bag and be a good citizen. Pick up any debris youcome across or unearth.Many people have a valid concern about the potential harm thatresults from indiscriminate and undisciplined treasure hunting. Oftenartifacts are removed without bothering to document the discoveryproperly and thus eliminating the historical value of the find.If you are fortunate enough to unearth something of historicalsignificance, document the time and location. This can be easilyaccomplished if you mark the spot from a GPS (Global PositioningSystem) reading or plot the discovery point accurately on a map. Youwill also find this helpful if you wish to return and rework the area.If you find an old coin or piece of jewelry, do not try to polish itor clean it up without professional advice. Solvents or even rubbing anitem can damage the piece and diminish its value.Apply basic safety measures and common sense. Wear protectiveleather gloves and thick soled shoes. When detecting you commonly stepon broken glass or dig up rusty metal. Be aware that if your shoes havemetal fasteners or cleats, you may mistakenly pick up a signal fromyour own feet and not the ground.Recommended EquipmentMetal detector - with extra batteriesComfortable shoes and clothing - gloves, hat, insect repellent, sunscreenMetal shovelPlastic Trowel and gold pan or small plastic tubTreasure containersMap, compass and survival gearWater and foodIf you are carefully searching, you will find treasure. However,don’t expect to just find the good stuff. You will find a lot oftrash! Bottle tops, pull-tabs, nails and bullet casings will all giveyou a reading. Don’t be discouraged, don’t discriminate, dig everytarget and you will be rewarded for your efforts. Happy Hunting!
