Don’t worry if you can’t afford a high-end Minelab right away; get an intro model and go find some stuff. Most new hobbyists tend to spend $150-$300 on their first detector. Anything below that isn’t really considered a detector – it’s considered a toy. What makes one detector better than another (like cars) is the additional features and enhancements. All metal detectors detect metal – just like all cars drive down the road.
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.
If you’re relic hunting, take a note of the exact place because a historical record is helpful to archaeologists should that relic prove interesting or unusual. When that glorious ‘beep’ calls out, it’s time to pinpoint exactly where the signal is coming from. It needs to be sufficiently close to the soil or sand so the magnetic field can penetrate, but not so low that you bash the sensitive coil on stones and clods of earth. Sweep the machine side to side in front of your feet. Antenna – located at the base, it’s also known as the coil.
Here you will find a large range of Metal Detectors from a range of manufacturers covering the requirements of the beginner to an experienced Detectorist. Fitted with the black 11″ coil not the newer X35 coil. Achieve the highest sensitivity and reduce costly waste caused by false rejects. We are available from 9:00 AM -9:00 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday.
The F5 is a very high tech metal detector that is very automatic, making it a detector that is easy to set up and easy to use in the field. The X-TERRA 505 Metal Detector is the high performance, mid-range detector in the new generation Minelab X-TERRA Series. This all-metal metal detector can even search through concrete and asphalt.
The Teknetics Delta 4000 is high-tech and accurate while still being easy to use. USB Home Charger for Minelab Equinox or any 5.5 volt rechargeable device. Nokta waterproof pinpoint probe with 360 detection tip and LED light. webpage Minelab/Koss waterproof headphones to either use with Equinox 600 or 800. It is capable of locating all types of metal while offering the user a choice of three frequencies to eliminate the possibility of any interference.
We fell in love with this activity, and organized a club of fellow treasure hunters. The Pharmaceutical division includes several state-of-the-art Quality Control Metal Detectors that offer full compliance with FDA requirements Part 210 and Part 211.
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.
