Metal detecting introduction.
Treasure hunting is not only a very interesting and fun hobby for young and old, but could also be profitable, with some finds
even bringing life changing rewards. You may fame and be apart of very important discoveries of history which will be on
display for future generations.
Treasure hunting throughout the years have not only reached treasures and artefacts deep underground, but also delved into
the depths of the very distant past.
For decades detectorists of all ages have been searching fields, woodland and the beach and for many years
to come there will be amazing discoveries of how life in ancient times were.
Metal detecting, where did it start? Pathfinder’s ancestor revealed.
The original need for metal detecting equipment arose from a military requirement to find explosive landmines buried in the
ground. Alexandar Bell invented the very first metal detector during World War I. Early hobbyists realised that such equipment
could perhaps be used to recover historic artefacts and treasures. Military units however were originally intended to find quite
large steel clad mines rather than small coins and other relics. They were also heavy, unwieldy and used large external power
supplies due to the need to be used in battlefield conditions. The very first metal detector was similar in appearance to the two
box / twin box techology. In modern days advancement in technology, build quality and ease of use has
significantly improved the experience of treasure & relic hunters.
Choosing the right search coil for gold
When searching for gold items or gold prospecting the choice of search coil is a key factor for success. For VLF induction
balance detectors it is essential to select the correct frequency. Lower frequencies yield the most success for deep seeking.
When it comes to aftermarket search coils for Pulse Induction metal detectors your choice will be based on the size of gold
chunks you wish to find. Large gold nuggets are best detected by larger sized search coils. For small and dust-like pieces, a
smaller search coil may provide increased chances. Nexus Aftermarket carbon fibre coils are specialized prospecting search
loops which offers several advantages to greatly improve your success. With a switchable toggle which
changes mode from Hot Ground to Maximum Depth
Hoard hunting - factors for high success rate
Discovering ancient gold and silver hoards is a treasure hunter’s wish becoming reality. Significantly valuable hoards have been
discovered by both amateur and professional detectorists throughout the years. Amateur detector users simply strike it lucky
with hoards which are easy to locate and close to the surface due to natural conditions exposing them closer to the surface and
advance users apply a metodical approach to ensure success. Choosing the right search coil size and frequency can yield a
higher success ratio. There are general rules of thumb as well as certain factors such as the type of desired hoard, whether a
gold, silver, jewelery or mixed. Most important is experience and understanding the metal detector settings.
and how detectors work. The soil condition also plays a role.
