Call it a growing hobby, a pastime or an obsession, gold detecting gets into your blood after a while. Using a gold detector can be very relaxing and sometimes mesmerizing, finding gold nuggets might be the goal but fun of prospecting for gold provides so much pleasure as an outdoor activity.

With lots of equipment, tools and books available in the market it can be quite a challenge to get started, there is also and abundance of opinions from experts trying to promote a particular brand or product which can be equally confusing. For the person looking to buy their first metal detector a popular solution is to buy a basic gold metal detector and then learn by using it as you practice gold prospecting, it is also great practice to just go out to the park, beach or wood and look for anything that gives you a signal, even that is a great thrill.

Every gold detector has pros and cons depending on how much you pay for it and what you intend to use it for. With a specialized prospecting detector you get the high efficiency of locating even small nuggets at a shallow depth. The down side is that it may have poor discriminating abilities and you might end up with digging up lots of trash. With all gold detectors patience is the key for finding gold. Do not leave the spot until you have scanned it effectively, then you can move on and mark out another area. Despite your hard work, you might not find anything, start all over again on a new location applying the same degree of concentration. With a little reading of some books on the subject, some effort and the right equipment, you too could be finding hidden treasures.

A metal detector is really not a complicated device but the specifications look quite technical. It has three basic parts, the first one is the coil which can come in different shapes, it has a power supply and a control box. Most of the job involves the control box because it is that one part that is triggered when there is metal around and this signal is what causes the gold detector to do its job.

Of all the different kinds of metal detectors, probably one of the most important is the gold metal detector. It is pretty obvious that gold is an element that is worth a lot in many ways and this makes gold metal detectors a prized possession as well. Metal detectors identify various metals by testing the conductivity of the metal. A target signal is eliminated for unwanted ferrous metals like leftover iron, steel, pull tabs and bottle tops while increasing target signals to high conductive metals as gold along with brass and silver.

If the old timers had these machines there wouldn't be any

by Jack Purcell from Placitas, NM USA on 2003-09-17
The improvements in technology have corresponded inversely to the number of prospectors. Erosion during the past century has exposed millions of tons of virgin substrata for prospectors of today, and metal detectors will increase the chance of discovering new placers. There's no better expert on metal detector technology than Garrett. Great as those detectors are, they require some training to use them. Garrett provides the best 'how-to' advice available. His book will give you the straight-forward means to practice with it before you begin trekking into the canyons or sweeping old school yards for coins. Learn how to do it and you still mightn't find gold, but you'll certainly find the greatest treasure of them all: solitude.


Gold has a SHINE all it's own. Even Bill Gates Thinks it is GREAT!!!

by drayegon from Redding, CA United States on 2008-10-13
I asked Bill Gates one time Why with all his money he still kept going after even more? He said it is not the Having it is the FINDING that makes his day brighter. I retired from a 9-5 job in 1990. I was 40 years old. I love to find gold. My preferred method is to use a Metal Detector. I have a collection of books written by Charles Garrett. All of them on different ways to use a Metal Detector to find gold or other items of great value. Now you might think that a silver dime is not worth much. Still if it has a great history behind it. I could have been the dime someones father used to call your mother and ask her to marry him. Where would you be if that call never would have been made. This book is into the finding of GOLD like I have said it has a shine like no other. The first thing I found with my latest Infinium LS metal detector was a bracket off of a lawn mower or some such. I would not lie to you for this report. The second item I found with it was how ever a small 1 inch by 1/2 inch by 1/3 inch piece of quartz that had some metals inside of it. I have not ground it up to do an assay on it yet. Still I like to think it has GOLD inside of it. I for one really like listening to Charles Garrett tell us how to find gold or any metal with a detector. I also love it that he is not bad mouthing other metal detectors to try to make his detectors seem better. I do have some of his detectors and I love them. I know one thing listening to him tell about using a metal detector has made me a much better fossicker. Which is how they say it in New Zealand. 73 dray

Yes, I'm a nerd.

by J. Rose from Virginia Beach, VA on 2010-08-19
I have always been fascinated with people who are not ashamed to search for "treasure" on the beach with their metal detector. I decided to read this book about it so that I, too, could start finding some cool things. I have learned many good tips, and I'm so excited to put them to good use! But first, I guess I have to buy myself a metal detector...
