You Can Find Gold With A Metal Detector

You’ve probably seen the advertisements or read magazine articles and even news reports about someone with a metal detector finding a large gold nugget. Then, they sold the nugget and made a fortune. But before you go out and buy a gold metal detector, take a deep breath.

It Can be hard but it’s worth the effort.

Anyone can find gold with a metal detector. But it takes the right kind of person to go out in the wilds with a metal detector to consistently find gold day in and day out. You have to be willing to fend off snakes, angry bears and bee’s. Everything out there will either bite you, stick you or sting you. This person that does this doesn’t mind how he or she looks to others and usually is eager to show how their metal detector to find gold works. But they usually take lonely paths in out of the way places and often have a solitary day out in the wilds with only a metal detector for company. This person needs lots of patience, a love of the outdoors and a good sense of humor.

A Hobby?

Although metal detecting is often called a hobby, there are those in the hobby who insist on calling it a sport. The vast majority of players in sports will never get to the professional leagues. And yet, that doesn’t stop people playing those individual and team sports, because they love the game. It’s the same way with using a metal detector to find gold or other valuable metals.

A decent used metal detector for hunting gold will run you a few hundred dollars. A new one from around $800.00 to almost $5000.00. You also need comfortable boots, snake leggings possibly, gloves, digging utensils, transportation and batteries for your metal detector. You also need time places to go. This is not something that you can do just for a few minutes a day. Learning to use your metal detector to find gold is a skill that needs to be learned over some time.

When you add all of this up, it can run you into thousands of dollars. So, you better be sure that you enjoy the sport for the pure love of the game before you begin to play.

Gold Fever Is Catching

I love it and many others do too! Your first gold nugget and you are hooked.

My advice is to start with a detector costing no more than around a thousand dollars. If you like it or find the gold you can easily upgrade.

See Garrett Metal Detectors Below

I recently read a well known book on metal detectors… here’s my review of this book-

The authors have so much enthusiasm for their topic that I truly wanted to write a positive review, but unfortunately their enthusiasm is the only redeeming quality of the book. True, you can learn some things about searching for gold with a metal detector. And although the authors disclaim any purpose to sell their products, they refer to them exclusively on the grounds that they are most familiar with them. Well, OK, but it still has an uncomfortable feel to it. And I felt I was unable to translate many of their instructions to generic terms (for use with any brand metal detector).

Early on you are advised that terms are defined in the glossary. But they should also be defined in the text so that one does not have to continually stop reading and refer to the glossary. This is basic to didactic writing. For example, the term “placer” is used many times before it is defined. Ground balancing (canceling) is treated the same way.

There are several passages that are repeated verbatim in different chapters and you are left wondering if you have somehow read the current chapter already! It appears that the editor of the book was in a great rush, or extremely inexperienced. I could not find any reference to RAM publications on the web. The editor was found, and seems to be mostly associated with the works of Garret and Lagal.

Was it worth the price? I suppose, as I at least felt the excitement of hunting for gold. But it would be better titled as a companion to one of the Garret manufactured metal detectors. I still hope to find a book on using the metal detector as a hobby that is a better-written “how to” book that speaks in generic terms about metal detectors. This is a great book if your using a Garrett Metal Detector.
