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

My Father always used to say to me “You only get what you pay for” meaning the more you pay the better it is and this is true today as it was then. What do I think the best gold metal detectors are? I’m not going to go into lots of product reviews in this short article. There’s lots of them on the internet I will say however, If you pay too little you risk the detector won’t perform or do what you want so always pay a little more to make sure its up to the task.

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.

Once you’ve got your metal detector find out how to look after it. Follow the instructions carefully to get the best out of it. You could join a metal detecting club for like-minded people. They usually organise events and are more than willing to help novices get the best out of their detectors.

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.

When you’ve found something and got it out of the ground make sure you fill the hole in with what came out and leave the are as tidy as possible. Most of its common sense close gates show a little respect that’s it.
