If things keep going this way the detector will have paid for itself within a few short decades! Their team of knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff and family make their dealership a first choice for the treasure hunter. Garrett has a longstanding quality relationship with Detector Electronics Corp since the 1980s.

I just want to thank Sondra and the rest of the gang for my Minelab Explorer SE. Yesterday I took my Garrett Ace 250 out for the first time to some local parks.

With the Fisher F19 Ltd and F19 Ltd-P conquer iron-infested sites with this high performance relic/coin detector. Includes Free set of Whites Headphones Shallow Water Hunting DVD. The 71 kHz operating frequency gives increased sensitivity to smaller and deeper nuggets even in highly mineralized soil. The Safari is Powered by Minelab’s FBS technology, it combines deep accurate detecting.

Always fill the search hole cleanly and remove any mess before moving on, but before you carry on your merry way, take a really slow and close sweep of the surrounding area. 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.

A machine with ground balancing detects what type of ground you’re on, and eliminates the unwanted minerals in response. Iron deposits and mineralization will do its best to turn you against that expensive machine. Using Metal Detectors Hub maximum sensitivity means ALL metal signals will ring out, including minerals and trash. An elliptical coil works in just the same way, albeit covers less ground in one swing, but it can reach into small, awkward spaces.

Although they are sold for low prices, they are still effective in finding silver, coins and gold. There are others that combine nugget and relic hunting such as Whites MXT Tracker which goes for $800 and the Tesoro Lobo SuperTRAQ which retails at $700. Although the choices are limited, there are good metal detectors that serve many different functions. These have been designed with a waterproof housing and they will locate the treasures even under water without any effects on the signal due to the conductivity of salty water.

Some specialize in prospecting for gold (yes, there is gold in Wisconsin.) Others work closely with archaeologists as they scour historic sites for relics that might reveal something of the past. And another time, when an elderly neighbor approached him and asked if he could look for her daughter’s ring.

I always say your choice of metal detector is the best you can reasonably afford. High frequency simply provides better gold detection and a better chance of paying off your mortgage early. Whilst those machines can and do pick up gold, they aren’t as sensitive as a high-frequency machine, and you risk leaving that elusive nugget behind for someone else.
