The Bounty Hunter has three search modes – all metal, tone discrimination and full discrimination. I am looking for Gold flakes/small nuggets in a very mineralized iron ore area and quartz veins also to search in shallow streams. When considering your first machine, pay close attention to how much it weighs, especially if you plan on hunting for several hours at a time. If you’re hunting small, tight areas like playgrounds or very rocky areas like in gold country, then you should consider a smaller coil for better maneuverability.

We’ll point you to the metal detector that’s right for you. Long the leader in high performance gold treasure metal detectors, our latest technological breakthroughs have opened up a whole new world of lost treasures. Our goal is to make your next metal detector purchase the most friendly and enjoyable experience possible. BigBoysHobbies specializes in metal detector sales from all the top brands.

The verification procedure ensures that metal detector remains complaint against sensitivity standards and metal detection policies. When implementing a metal detection test procedure, manufacturers must firstly ensure their metal detector meets the required detection standards and are set up within the sensitivity guidelines.

Always fill the search hole cleanly and remove any mess before moving on, but before you carry on your merry way, take a really slow and close sweep of the surrounding area. If you’re relic hunting, take a note of the exact place because a historical record is helpful to archaeologists should that relic prove interesting or unusual. When that glorious ‘beep’ calls out, it’s time to pinpoint exactly where the signal is coming from. Sweep the machine side to side in front of your feet. It takes practice to understand readouts and how to choose the most effective soil settings.

This removes the risk of “nuisance trips” for small metal that will not damage machinery, thereby reducing costly downtime. When metal is detected, the conveyor and material flow is stopped to allow manual removal of the metal.

Applicant shall use hand tools that can be used by one hand only for Metal Detecting. Metal Detecting activity on Parks’ property requires a valid permit from Parks. Metal Detecting activities are restricted to Metaldetectorshub open areas (other than the areas listed in Paragraph 8 of the Permit Conditions) in designated parks. Governance Below are the state laws and agency policy that govern metal detecting in Washington state parks.

That’s why gold detectors generally have a higher kHz capacity than lower priced all-purpose models. The higher your kHz the more likely you are to find gold.

Metal detecting in camping areas open to metal detecting is permitted only in unoccupied campsites. Metal detecting is permitted only within specified portions of approved state parks (see below for approved park maps) – parks that permit metal detecting will have maps and registration information posted at the park; if no information is posted, the park does not permit this activity. I WILL respect private property and do no metal detecting without the owner’s permission.

They’re also great for doing both saltwater and all around detecting without having to buy two machines. These are best if you’re serious about detecting and have the budget to back it up.

These are built more for salt water hunting and gold prospecting. This may be the biggest factor of them all, especially when you’ve never tried a metal detector.
