Metal Detecting For Fun And Profit

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

When you are at a park or the beach and you see someone with one of the metal detectors on a long pole, sweeping it back and forth over the ground, what thoughts pass through your mind? Do you tell yourself, “Oh great, just what the world needs; another metal detecting freak”?.

Do you imagine her spending hours digging up pennies and old soda cans? Maybe you were with friends and the site of this person was good for a big laugh from all of you.

Does this describe your reaction? If it does, that means you will be getting a metal detector someday. Almost every metal detecting hobbyist started out making fun of people they saw using their detectors. But, then they realized they had questions about them.

Do those things really work well? How sensitive are they? How deep can they detect metal? Do they ever find anything? Even if its just change, how much money have they collected? Has it paid for itself yet? Did they find any jewelry? Was it expensive jewelry? On the beach, where are the best results; in or out of the water?

If you know anyone who has a metal detector you really should ask her to show you how it works. Go out exploring for a few hours, one day. You will probably be hooked from that time, forward. Do not ask your friend to loan her unit to you. Wars have been fought over much less than that.

The best places to go are anywhere groups of people walk, gather, or even, used to gather. Sites where county fairs are held are great. Parks and athletic fields, as well as beaches are prime spots. Camp sites can be fruitful, especially if they are boy scout or girl scout camps, since those get used so much.

Metal Detectors

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Several different kinds of metal detectors exist, I will explain how they work while trying not to get too technical. There are three major classes of metal detectors available.

The first type of metal detector is the PI, which stands for Pulse Induction. Pulse induction means that you are creating an electromagnetic pulse that exits the coil, bounces off a target, then returns to the coil giving a report on the target it hit.

Pulse induction detectors are usually more sensitive to smaller and deeper targets. The down side is they also pick up more trash targets and have a difficult time telling good targets apart from bad targets.

Another detector type is the VLF, which stands for Very Low Frequency. This kind of detector is versatile and commonly used. It uses phase demodulation to discriminate between types of metallic objects like iron and gold. It does a good job at telling the difference between good objects, like gold and treasure, and trash such as nails, bottle caps etc.

Yet another is the BFO, or Beat Frequency Oscillator. The beat frequency oscillator is a low cost circuit design. It has two coils, one at the end of the arm of the detector and one in the control box on the handle. These coils form a pair of tuned oscillators. The oscillators are tuned so that the difference in their frequencies is an exact multiple of each other. The presence of any metallic object will produce a change in either oscillator and thus produce an audible beat frequency harmonic tone.

Each of these technologies has trade-offs, usually between cost and their ability to sense small valuable objects. Newer advances are coming every day. Most of these are in the area of using special digital signal processing of the return signal. Every conductive object has a peculiar signature spectrum that tells a bit more about the object and can also be filtered out to separate junk (iron & aluminum) from Gold Treasure. As technologies advance the price for more capable equipment drops. This in turn opens new depths and more trashy areas to be hunted for treasure.

Please remember to hunt responsibly, avoid trespassing and fill your holes when you are finished. Enjoy hunting for buried treasure!
