How To Get Started with a Gold Detector

When we really want to do something new it is easy to get pumped up and excited, the reality then kicks in on the challenges of getting started with our newly found subject. To get started with Gold Detecting the first move is to research what tools and equipment are needed, this is where it starts to get very confusing. There are so many different types of Gold Metal Detectors on the market from various manufacturers and suppliers at a wide range of prices, we can easily put off doing anything at all.

So where do we start, well sometimes it’s a question of ‘just doing it’. A good way to get up and running is to buy a very basic Gold Detector and learn by practicing your new found venture. The quality of the Metal Detectors supplied by our leading manufacturers is generally excellent, the difference between one product and another is mainly in the specification and of course the price. Compare two leading brands with similar specifications and the price and quality will usually be similar. Also look out for discounts on many models especially the lower priced ones which are attractive to people getting started.

Basically the same technology is used for most gold detectors. There many different types and models but they are all based on the same electromagnetic technology. When a magnetic field inside the gold detector is created it reacts with the magnetic field within metal on the ground. The metal detector can analyze this reaction and convert it into a signal that shows that metal has been located nearby.

Tuning is a very important factor of gold detectors  The gold detector has to be calibrated correctly to properly receive the signals from the ground, this can vary depending on what you are prospecting for. This process may need to be monitored every few minutes depending on the type of gold detector.

How you use your gold detector has a great bearing on your success rate. With some gold detectors a slow rotating action is required and others may prefer a faster action. For best results you should read the guidelines in the manufacture’s manual and follow their recommendations. Detection depth is not easy to specify by the manufactures due to various factors including ground type and moisture. It is usually not that important as you are just as likely to find your treasure close to the surface, it can also save a lot of digging!

The other key difference in the specification is the frequency. Low signal frequencies between 5-10kHz and 15-20kHz are used for most gold detectors. The reason for that is that if you are looking for objects like coins and items of jewelry then low frequencies between 5-20KHz can be used as low frequencies tend to go deeper into the ground. The multi frequency gold detectors tend to be more expensive and are therefore used by the more established gold prospectors.

So back to our original discussion, look around for a basic low cost Gold Metal Detector from one of the leading brands and just get out there and enjoy learning about Gold

Detecting, you never know what treasures you might find.

Ride the Lightning $13.09 Don’t let that classical-guitar-ish opening to “Fight Fire with Fire” fool you–Ride the Lightning packs a heavy-metal wallop.

Thematically, it explores death and dying from myriad points of view: nuclear war (“Fight Fire with Fire”), electric-chair execution (the title track), …

Master of Puppets $12.48 One of the defining albums of thrash metal, Master of Puppets is arguably Metallica’s best album (as well as their last with bassist Cliff Burton).

Not that these are short songs; this eight-song album clocks in at over an hour, which makes it all the mo…

S&M $16.49 At a point in their career when most bands would rest their laurels upon a greatest-hits package or live album, Metallica has done both, but with a decidedly loopy twist. They’ve recorded a double-live greatest-hits package with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra “sitting in.” Rock history and cutout bins are littered with previous attempts at a rock-symphonic fusion, from Emerson, Lake & Palmer…
