Where Is The Best Places To Go With A Gold Metal Detector? Find Out Now

Which is the best metal detector to use ? I’ve been asked this question hundreds of times. I always still use the same answer “You Get What You Pay For.” The more you pay the better the quality.

When buying a Gold Metal detector you will find they can be very expensive and a Good choice would be to try and source a second hand unit. I’ve found the best places to try are Amazon, Ebay and Craigslist. However look in your local newspaper’s classified section and notice boards that have been put up in community centres, supermarkets and local newsagents all these are good places to try. Even at second hand the detector will be quite expensive and you should know what you’re buying and its condition before you part with any money.

So your new Metal detector has been delivered and you know the whereabouts of captain Blackbeards lost treasure and your just itching to go dig it up. We’ve all been there but try to hold on just a little bit. Boring bit first read and make sure you understand the instructions otherwise you’ll go right over the top of the treasure and would’nt even know it. Also find a local metal detecting club there’s thousands of them dotted around the place and all have expereinced members that are usually more than will to pass on any tips and advice.

The best places to start metal detecting are beaches and recently ploughed fields, however make sure you have the owners permission to search his land. To help sweeten the landowner you could say he could have a choice of what ever you find. Other places you could get information from will be the library or local council offices for old maps and plans. Also try to think outside the box. I remember we used to have a local carnival every year in the same place. My mum told me that the carnival had been held there as long as she can remember she is now 83. Travelling fairs also seem to use the same pitch every year. Some markets in the U.K have been held on the same site every week for a couple of hundred years all these are great spots for good quality finds. Dried riverbeds may also give up some rich pickings, even your back garden a good place to start.

Make sure you stay on the right side of the law with your gold metal detector never ever ever go to archaeological sites it is illegal and you are found out and you will be you’ll be prosecuted make no bones about it, don’t do it. Declare all finds of gold to stay within the law and to help with identification of coins and medals go to museums and speak to one of the staff. I have known museums to buy certain valuable items and this way everybody gets to enjoy your find.

Once you have found an item and have removed it make sure you put back into the hole whatever you took out and leave everywhere neat and tidy. It’s all common sense close gates, be respectful and everything will be fine.
