Metal Detecting for the Beginner

Hey, everyone If you have read the about me section… Of this site then “congradulations!!” LOL I know it’s a little long, but I wanted to give you a little gist of who we are… And as you may already know I started Metal Detecting back in the early 80’s and just recently have gotten my son involved and it’s been a great experience!

Well, what I plan on doing with this site is to give all of you a very strong understanding along with some invaluable knowledge that I have learn through-out my Metal Detecting career… And get this all for “Free!!” Reason being it’s more of a spiritual journey than anything else. I have been quite fortunate with my metal detecting passion, and have found many facinating things… And yes I have read many books and watched tons of videos on metal detecting through the years!

But, what I want to do is give back to what has started out to be a hobby and has turned into a full-blown career for me! And by doing so “hopefully bring others into this quest!”

Ok, to begin with first things first!! ” Choosing your Treasure Hunting Equipment” The most important thing to remember is that your Metal Detector is the workhorse of your hunting experience. “That being said” you must choose wisley the detector you plan on using. ” Not Really!!” thats what they tell you!! The fact of the matter is… When your out there detecting ” unless your planning on prospecting for gold” and even then I have found may a gold ring with my cheap inexpensive detector.

What it really all boils down to is this… What your needs may be if you plan on taking up detecting… Is a real nice multi-purpose, turn-on-as-you-go metal detector. The learning curve is virtually nothing!! And you can be out there finding little treasures left and right and having a blast!

So, my first bit of advice… for my very first of many post’s… Is ” Don’t Believe all the Hupla, about needing an expensive detector… Unless it’s more of a status symbol thing! Stick to the simple…” Iv’e made a small fortune with mine, and I don’t believe I paid more than a couple hundred bucks for it!

Well, hopefully these post’s will get you on the right track… I look forward to writing them, and hopefully the structure inwhich I plan on keeping this going will become a good foundation for all those looking to get into Metal Detecting for a hobby or in my case a life long passion!! Anyway, I’m sure this series will continue to grow day by day
