How to find places to look for old coins

If you have a good metal detector, searching for old coins can be one of the best options for any treasure hunter. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced seeker, going out to explore an area where you are likely to find old coins will be both an exciting and rewarding activity.

Old gold coins

Going out to find coins with your detector is a simple project that requires a research that is not too complex and that can give you results immediately, with just one hour of field work. For this, it is enough to determine, through a simple investigation, an area where there are high probabilities of finding lost coins, or even a loot forgotten years ago.

There are many places where in the past people met and exchanged money for different reasons (shopping, parties, sports activities, etc ...) or simply lost it. These places have been abandoned and forgotten in many cases. Your goal will be to locate them and recover the coins that nobody has yet found.

If you are lucky and you find a good place, in addition to loose coins, you can even recover some old loot or treasure that has been forgotten. Of course you can also find other types of treasures that are not coins and have also been forgotten or lost in much earlier times. It sounds exciting, right?
Here's a little more help in your treasure hunt:

To give you a slight advantage over other less advanced seekers you should follow the following advice: try to always answer the four fundamental questions. What are those questions?

•     What? What an interesting event has happened in that area that may be attractive to look for coins.
•     Where? Where exactly the place we are looking for happened or was located.
•     When? In what years or exact time of recent history the event is located.
•     How much? For how long has it occurred.

List of the best places to find lost coins:

To help you start your research in search of the right place to look for coins, you will find a list of the most common places to focus your research ...

    Ancient schools

The places where once there was a building with school functions and have been abandoned and even disappeared with the passage of time are an excellent place to find lost coins. In this type of enclosures, in addition to its main function as a school, other types of events, dances and diverse meetings were held. Also, do not forget that since the main users of these places were children, it would be easy to lose things, including coins. Finding old schools should not require overly complicated research, and it is relatively easy to place the exact places on a map.

    Ancient churches

As in the case of the schools, the churches were one of the main places of social gathering and interaction, where they also kept coins without a doubt. Finding ancient churches that have been abandoned is not as simple as in the case of schools, which is why it ranks second in this ranking of places to look for old coins. To look for lost coins in the place where a church was located it is important to take into account that in addition to the building itself the adjacent areas were places where people met before and after the religious services, being therefore areas of special interest .

    Markets

The sites where markets were formerly held, or similar activities in which many people were concentrated in one place to perform all kinds of economic transactions, are, without a doubt, another excellent alternative to find old forgotten or lost coins. These places tend to be somewhat more complicated to place accurately on a current map than those others we have spoken so far (this is mainly because the markets were not held in a building, but they were really outdoors) , in a specific area, which can sometimes be more complicated to locate with precision on a map).

    Abandoned sports precincts

In all times and places sports activities and competitions have enjoyed great acceptance among the population of all ages, being an important focus of attraction and interest. Throughout time the sports facilities (soccer fields, athletics stadiums, etc ...) have served as a meeting place for immeasurable spectators, moved by the passion for their team or favorite sportsman. On many occasions these stadiums have changed their location or have simply been abandoned and forgotten. Finding evidence about its location should not be too complicated through the press of the time.

    Outdoor festivals

In many places there are celebrations, pilgrimages or traditional festivals that may continue to this day (if so, it is much easier to locate these places) or that, for some reason, have ceased to be celebrated. Anyway, think of large concentrations of people on the same ground, gathered around all kinds of stores or establishments, is usually a sure sign of lost coins, especially when this happens for years and years in the same place. Whether it is a celebration that is still held today or one that has been lost in time, it is usual that outside the days when the celebration is celebrated, the area does not have hardly any activity and is outside of the closest population centers, so it is an excellent place to look away from curious looks.

    Camps or military bases

Do you know the location of some old base or military camp that has been abandoned altogether? How long was that facility active? How many soldiers were staying in the compound? If you are able to answer the questions above you will surely find another good opportunity to find some interesting treasure.

    Campsites, hotels or motels

In general, any place of lodging and accommodation for which a large number of people have continuously spent long enough is another clear objective to look for forgotten treasures. Guests of these types of places carry their luggage and usually unpack their bags when they settle in, change in the premises and easily lose all kinds of things, from coins to watches, passing rings, bracelets, earrings and all kinds of jewelry. If you are able to locate an area that fits these characteristics you will surely have great options to find something that surprises you.

bag with coins
These are just some ideas of places that can be especially interesting to look for lost ancient coins. If you are able to find a good site your reward will not be long in coming. Also think that, although your initial goal is simply to go in search of some loose old coins that have been lost, there is also the possibility that you find something more important as a bag full of coins, a hidden booty or any other unexpected treasure.

In the past most people kept their most valuable and valuable possessions, as well as their money, in their own home instead of in a bank like today. In addition, as there were no credit cards or other modern forms of payment, all transactions were made in cash and everyone needed a safe place to "hide" their savings safely (so safe sometimes that even now they remain hidden). ).

How to use a pendulum to look for GOLD

 Is it possible to find gold with a pendulum? Many people say yes, while many others remain skeptical of this idea.

Although at present it is considered that these types of practices are not scientific, it is undeniable that they have been used by humans, and by different cultures, for hundreds or thousands of years ...

What is true about this? Can anyone use a pendulum to look for gold? Does it really work?

Radiesthesia, etymologically sensitive to radiation , is the ability or ability to perceive the energy field emitted by an object with the help of rods, needles or pendulums that act as amplifiers of that signal, allowing us to detect them.



ExploreOne Junior Metal Detector

Using dowsing, we can discover in the soil or in any other place the presence of water, minerals or molten metals such as gold, silver, etc. We can even know at what depth these materials or objects are buried.

Although it is commonly believed that only a few people have this gift or ability, the truth is that most people have enough sensitivity to handle any of these instruments. However, the lack of concentration, lack of practice or training, self-suggestion and other factors are generally those that contribute decisively to prevent the success of those who try for the first time to find some treasure using dowsing.

For hundreds, even thousands, of years wooden rods have been used successfully to find water. From more recent times metal rods have also been used with excellent results to find water and also other elements such as metals. And, of course, also since ancient times pendulums have been used to locate lost objects or treasures.
How to use a pendulum to look for gold?

With a simple pendulum it is possible to detect and find a large number of diverse objects. However, if what we want is to use the pendulum to look for metals, like gold, the best option is to use a different type of pendulum. It is a pendulum that will allow us to tune it with the radiations emitted by the body we are looking for (in this case gold, it could also be used with silver or other metals following the same procedure).

This kind of pendulum is used with a witness (that is, something of the same material that we are looking for). You can use a pendulum bought or made by you, that's not very important. The only necessary characteristic of this class of pendulums is that it can be opened to put inside the same the witness that we will use (for example a gold ring, a coin or an earring).

Pendulum to look for GOLD

It is important that the piece of gold used as a witness is of the highest purity possible (ideally 24 carat gold).

How does the pendulum work?
The first thing we must do is the necessary adjustments to calibrate the pendulum . For this simply open it and place the witness inside (some gold). Now the pendulum is ready to look for gold, but you should still do a series of tests until it is perfectly calibrated.

It is important to be calm and absolute calm, relaxed and having rested well beforehand. The adjustment of the pendulum should never be made nervous, tired or intoxicated since this would undoubtedly affect negatively.

To begin to calibrate the pendulum and adjust it to look for gold we will need a small treasure that serves as objective of the test. As for the witness, any piece of good-quality gold will be used. We will place the treasure on the ground directly to begin the process.

It is important to use a place free of other metal objects that may create interference. It is also essential to do this directly at ground level, never on an upper floor, for obvious reasons.

To begin to calibrate the pendulum we will place ourselves on the treasure (standing or sitting on a wooden chair) holding the pendulum with the index and thumb fingers. We will hold the thread from which the pendulum hangs about two inches above it and place it about two inches above the treasure. We must remain in that position for about 6-8 minutes until the pendulum starts to turn clockwise, that is, to the right.

If nothing happens then you have to lengthen half an inch more thread and repeat the test until you get the desired result. Once the pendulum starts to turn to the right it is necessary to complete at least eleven turns. If this is not the case, it will be necessary to release a little thread again and repeat the operation.

When the pendulum completes the eleven turns by itself, without our help, we will mark in the thread the exact place where we will have to hold it to go out to look for gold. With each person the pendulum can vary in the adjustment, since in some cases they manage to adjust it to the 15 or 20 centimeters of length of the suspension thread. Because the answers vary, fixed rules can not be given as it depends on the operator's sensitivity.

With this simple process the first part of the calibration of the pendulum is complete, but there are still some tests to be done before being fully prepared to go looking for gold with it.

First tests with the pendulum to look for gold:

With the pendulum already adjusted as explained here, place the treasure you use as a target in other different places (in the garden of your house, for example) a few meters away and see how the pendulum reacts now. Unlike the revolving movements that were made to be on the treasure, now it will move back and forth, in a linear way, in the direction of the object. As we move towards the treasure, the movements will be more intense, while if we move away from it, they will be softer and fade away.

Following these simple rules do all the necessary tests until you master the pendulum and understand their reactions perfectly. Once done this check again what is the height of the suspension wire in which you get your best results and makes the corresponding mark to use it in the future.

At what distance and depth will the pendulum work to look for gold?

Using a pendulum with a witness as explained above, gold objects can be detected at a distance of approximately 100 meters and at a depth of approximately 25 meters, although there are two factors that significantly influence this approach:

The sensitivity of the search engine that can vary considerably from one person to another

The size of the object, because the farther or deeper it is, the more difficult it will be to detect it and, consequently, it would have to be larger in order to make it so.

How to calculate the depth to which a treasure is buried?

When using the pendulum when you notice that it begins to move in the direction of an object, observe exactly where the movement becomes more intense, just before starting to move in circles. Make a mark on the ground and continue walking towards the treasure. Pass over it and continue walking in a straight line until you notice that the rotating movements weaken and begin to become linear. Make another mark on the ground at that point and draw an imaginary straight line joining this mark with the first you had made. The distance at which the treasure is buried is approximately half the distance between the two marks.

Although this technique is not adequate to accurately calculate the depth of a treasure, it is a good way to get a rough idea of ​​how much it will be worth digging and whether it is worth it or not. Keep in mind that when you get to detect something that is theoretically quite deep it is possible that it is a large object.

How to find gold with detector and homemade techniques

Have you ever thought about looking for gold?

The fever of this precious mineral had its moment years ago but it is now possible to find gold if you know how to do it and where to look.

Surely you've seen many movies where explorers found gold nuggets with a cleaning process to finally turn them into ingots.

What is the value of gold?

current value of gold

In the past, when there were no printed banknotes or digital accounts, gold coins had the highest value in the market.

Currently the price of gold fluctuates constantly, in addition each piece is unique so it depends on the carats and purity.

As you see it has a high value so if you find a deposit or gold beta you will win a large sum of money , so in this mega tutorial you will learn to be a seeker of this precious metal.

Where does gold come from?

There are 3 places to find it:

1.- Auriferous Rivers

For many years these places contain the mineral in their waters . Basically the mountain begins to be eroded by the climate and the native gold that is attached to minerals such as quartz begins to decompose so the gold beta is washed away by the current.

2.- Gold Mine

Here the mineral is in its coarsest form along with other minerals such as quartz , silver or platinum .
To find it, it is necessary to discover the mine, open galleries and grind it for its later treaty, although you will not find it anywhere.

Hence the expression " I found a gold mine " referring to a lot of wealth, great opportunity or something of great value.

methods to find gold

3.- Gold Melts

There are areas where this mineral is not dissolved in the river or in deep mines, you can find it inside the land itself.

It is believed that it comes out of ancient volcanic eruptions and remains in a pure state buried close to the ground. It is also speculated that near these meteorite impacts are these super gold nuggets , weighing more than 8 Kg.

There is a very important finding where a piece of 12 Kg was found and because it was so dense it was very difficult to extract it.

How to Find Gold

There are different techniques, from the most basic (practically free) to advanced (metal detectors and other devices), then you will be the one to decide which method to use.

1.- Gold bats in rivers

This technique is based on using a kind of dish, whose name is batea, and constantly clean the land with the current of the river .

The procedure is very basic and does not require experience, so anyone can do it.

The operation is simple, with the container you will separate any gold material, which, being more dense, will always remain at the bottom.

The technique consists of adding little by little gravel and dirt to the tray, and when washing it the materials that are less dense (lighter) will always rise to the surface of the dish while dense metals like gold will remain below.

1.- First, the largest materials are washed

•     The container is almost completely filled with gravel and a few centimeters are introduced into the water
•     Start moving the tray first up - down and then in a circle so that the content starts to spin inside. In this way the mud and the earth will disappear
•     Repeat these steps continuously to remove thicker and dense materials will stay resting

2.- Now it is the turn to wash the gravel and fine sand

•     Insert the tray into the water as if you wanted to capture the water
•     Move it in the same way as before with the level of the height of the water, little by little the sediments will stagnate
•     Repeat the process continuously until you have a large amount of sand dissolved, which will mostly be black

3.- Rinse the black sand or black sand

•     Little by little add water to continue dissolving
•     Tilt the container towards you so you can detect gold or some dust or impregnated nugget in the tray
•     Help yourself from a magnet below to retain this black sand and thus separate the gold
•     Repeat this process constantly and the best nuggets found, put them very carefully in a bottle or test tube

The water will clarify the materials and when repeating the procedure the seeds or lentils will accumulate, although to obtain experience it has to be practiced many times and it could take time.

You can start in your own home with elements containing lead to separate them from samples and master the technique.

The amount of material you process depends on the recipient, your skill and the concentration of gold that exists in that place (this last feature is the most important, it is no use being an expert in a place where there is nothing).

4. Most useful tips

•     One of the most used tricks is to look over rocks or claystones that are in the river, since dissolved gold dust accumulates gradually around this conglomerate so the probability of accumulating seeds is greater.
•     Make sure that the water has a height greater than 17 cm , otherwise the stream will drag more solids that will take more time to remove them.
•     The speed of the water has to be slow since for the washing cycle to continue the current has to take away the sand and the tray must remain in the same place.
•     Choose between a plastic or metal tray . The first is for people without experience for their comfort and color (black to detect it visually).
•     This technique is perfect for those people who want to know how to find buried gold without a metal detector and other things.

4.- Where to find gold in Spain

To know where to look for gold in Spain, here is a very interesting video that comments on several areas.

2.- Metal Detector

With the passage of time the technology advances and the techniques to look for ingots, jewels, nuggets and conglomerates of precious metals have taken a leap thanks to the detectors.

how to find gold with a metal detector

Basic operation

These machines of different characteristics are composed of coils for which there is electricity and therefore produce a magnetic field.

These forces attract ferromagnetic substances and repel others, thus passing these instruments at ground level detect metals.

The question is…

Is metallic garbage also included?

Yes, but the devices have improved and the false alarms for finding scrap decrease depending on a pulse induction system.

Terrain balances

There are 3 categories of metal detectors:

•     Initial level
•     Intermediate level
•     Expert or advanced level

The simple difference between these machines is the price, the adjustment of the balance and the low or high frequency, that is FLV or pulses.

Each time you use a device to find gold, you must level it on the ground to filter or discharge the iron that exists in the layers. The most advanced ones adjust themselves although it is a matter of practice.

Depending on the frequency the target will be able to track deeper to locate gold grains without getting confused with other elements. In the rivers the magnetometer is passed and the black sands are trapped in a faster way.

Many gold seekers have found cracks with thousands of nuggets in areas determined only with this apparatus to look for gold and a closed circuit with water pump, tube suction and a sluice to retain the metal.

The new devices come with insulated coils without wires, electronic screen and wireless headphones.

If you really have a lot of interest and want to specialize I recommend this page of metal detectors where they sell the detectors.

3.- Ionic Detector and Dowsing

how to find gold with radiesthesia

These devices spread for a long time as it searches for treasures through the air, detecting metals only by passing the antenna.

The truth is that they can detect metal , in the case that it has a considerable size or you are close enough, but for nothing is a precise instrument to look for concentrated gold.

How to look for gold with a pendulum

Radiesthesia is an ancient method to locate different materials (metals, minerals, water) through a handmade device consisting of a rod, pendulum and rods .

It is said that using this technique with this artifact can be found gold deposits and hidden springs in the stone.

It is mainly based on the detection of energy and electromagnetic changes , when a different current passes through the pendulum it oscillates and then a change in the environment is detected.

Detecting this coveted golden metal with this method is not reliable, much less has a purely scientific basis but usually tribes that do not have access to electronic devices use it mostly to find water.

Where to Find Gold

How to find buried gold without a metal detector

The great mystery and secret hidden by nature. With the crisis, many treasure hunters have appeared in open terrain or in the deep sea.

Any track is valid and it may take you many years to discover an unexploded mine or mine.

These ideas can facilitate and guide your search for dorado if you really want to start this adventure:

1.- Gather information

Yes, it's something that seems basic but it can help you get started on the ground. You can look in history books , consult ancient stories, document with findings that have been found to locate them on a map.

Even legends of treasure maps , it may sound like a movie, but there are searchers who, guided by old manuscripts, have found important discoveries.

2.- Waterfalls of rivers

It is likely to find nuggets and gold metal dust near small waterfalls. Look in terrain maps where these springs are and maybe you'll get a surprise.

3.- Abandoned mine

There are mines that have been closed with the passage of time by total extraction of the material or have collapsed covering the entire entrance. Investigate closed mines that are close to springs, rivers or water areas, there may be underground exits from the mines that result in water mixing in the stream. If you wonder where to find quartz with gold, this is undoubtedly the best place.

4.- Leaves of eucalyptus

Curious but true, Canadians found mineral dust on the surface of these leaves so they have the ability to adhere metal debris.

5.- Cracks and Caves

Sometimes small cracks (not necessarily caves) have been spotted on the earth's surface that have not been excavated due to lack of interest, surely there is a crack that hides some subterranean gallery.

According to studies more than 70% of the caves are still unexplored.

6.- Places unexplored

look for gold in unexplored places
On planet earth there are visible airs that have not yet been fully explored as:

•     The Voronya cave in Georgia with more than 2 km depth
•     Andaman Islands , in the Indian Ocean, where the oldest tribe in history prevails and no one has entered, and if you have visited the island has not returned
•     Yungay , located in the Atacama Desert, a piece of clay soil where no one lives
•     Mountains in Bhutan that have not yet been climbed, with more than 7 kilometers
•     Many more that exist hidden in the world ..

6.- Australia

It has been confirmed that in this country there are areas where large castings have been found by day, although I suppose that the gold prospectors there will have the area measured.

7.- Mines and gold deposits in Spain

There are gold mines in Spain that have been exploited, but having extracted so much material and moved the land, sediments have been generated along nearby water areas.

The most important that you can see are:

•     Médulas , found in León
•     Rodalquilar , located in the Almería area
•     Belmonte , located in Asturias (In this area there are many search engines that apply the different extraction techniques that have been discussed in this guide)

Many people ask: Is there gold in Spain or do I look for gold ?

Of course, but you have to find it, help yourself with the information I just explained to you.

8.- Areas in the United States

In the USA there are very rocky places where a lot of gold has been extracted (nowadays it is also still), although some have become tourist areas to show the first mines that were built when the mythical gold rush began.

    1. Ouachita Montains located in Arkansas
    2. Alabama Gold Camp located in the state of Alabama
    3. Libby Creek Recreational Gold Panning Area known in the Montana region
    4. Alta Ranch also in Montana
    5. Consolidated Gold Mine in the state of Georgia
    6. Arkansas River is well known, located in Colorado
    7. Jamestown Gold Panning is located in California
    8. Crow Creek Gold Mine in Alaska
    9. Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park in the state of California
    10. Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine also in Colorado

9.- Find gold in the hills and quartz betas

There are areas of mountains where the terrain has stones of color combinations such as black, reddish , yellow .
It is there where there is more chance of finding curdled gold quartz betas containing other metallic elements, and after a wash get this precious golden metal:

How to know if it is Pure Gold

First we must know how to recognize gold by day to check its value.

To the naked eye it is recognized by its bright golden color but it can have other compounds adhered. In this case when appearing in free or native state we will not need chemical tests or through density calculations.

Finding it on the earth's surface will ensure us to obtain a maximum level of purity, with 24 carats although it always contains some kind of impurities.

The best test is the apparent density that you can visually observe when you wash or find it agglomerated in a large buried piece (this you will notice because of the weight although it has little volume).

How to know if a jewel is of quality gold

How to know if it is homemade gold

Through these steps you can discover the authenticity of the piece:

1.- Visual Test

    Search through a magnifying glass for any stamp or distributor mark that indicates purity
    Watch carefully if there is any trace of another color, maybe you only have one bathroom

2.- In the old way, biting

    Surely you remember those movies where all the explorers bit the piece of gold found, do the same but carefully
    Look for some brand, the authentic one is soft and you would have to notice a little the mark of your teeth

3. Magnetism

Find a magnet that has a medium size and bring it closer to the piece, in case it attracts it, it may be false since gold is not magnetic. (Other magnetic elements may exist).

4.- Density

Being such a dense element with this test you can determine if it is pure or not:

•     First note the weight the jewel (use a scale or homemade tanita).
•     Pour some water into a transparent plastic container or beaker (it must be graduated in ml).
•     Write the water level.
•     Insert the piece into the container and measure the level again
•     Use the formula:

Density = mass of the object / volume of water that has been moved

If the result is close to 20 grams / ml it tells us that it can be real gold or similar elements.

gold carats

5.- Ceramics

•     Find a ceramic piece and rub the jewel in it
•     In the event that the color of the line is black, it is probably not of quality or is false
•     A golden colored stripe indicates quality

6.- Nitric acid

This test is very conclusive but it is better to ask for help from a professional like a jeweler since this substance is not easy to get it:

•     Put the jewel in a small metal tray.
•     Add the acid substance.
•     If a greenish color appears it means that it is not pure gold or it is simply with a golden bath.
•     In the case that the color is white it may be silver with traces of gold.
•     No reaction is authentic gold

Note :

When talking about pure gold, it is linked to 24 carat gold, but being so soft to create jewelry and similar items, other types of metals are added to the composition. There are photos where there are works done in an artisanal way where it seems that the image is real, but they are false. The same goes for gold in quartz .

Many policy decisions have been confronted with science, increasing privacy over the extraction of areas to reach selected hands, if you find something important follow the established protocol and do not tell anyone.

If you have a gold search and detect machine, you already know how to find minerals. You also know where to find quartz and gold although as described in the article there is no magic formula to get it.

Discover also how to locate a person by his name and surnames with several techniques.

Frequent questions:
How to know if there is gold buried at home?

You have all the most efficient techniques explained in this article, although it is best to buy specific tools to know where the gold is.

Is it feasible today to look for gold in rivers?

Although you already know how to look for gold in rivers, it is true that the filtered amount of betas, quartz and other minerals has been reduced considerably.

This is logical since the mines and sites near the rivers have been exploited almost entirely. Anyway there are places that are still rich in minerals and more concentrations can be found.

What is the best buried gold detector?

This question is repeated a lot, but it is badly formulated. There really are metal detectors, and from there you could say that they are gold detectors. In the market there are different models, the most expensive have more technology to fine-tune the results, although there are extra parts that really do not make you find faster.

Eucalyptus to locate underground gold

The plants are like sponges that capture materials thanks to the roots and incorporate it into their organism. According to a study published in the journal Nature Communications and conducted by Australian scientists, checking the presence of gold in the leaves of certain plants, we can know if a few meters below the surface there is a deposit of this precious goal .

Prior to this study, the possibility had already been observed of plants absorbing certain elements and incorporating them into their biological tissue. However, this is the first time that they have been able to test it on natural specimens, which opens a door to the development of new biogeochemical methods of soil exploration .



Garrett Ace 300 Metal Detector

The eucalyptus is a perfect tree for this type of research, it works as a kind of hydraulic pump, with deep roots and extended throughout the substrate. In addition, as gold is likely to be toxic to the plant, it tends to transfer it to branches and leaves, where it is easier to expel. And there it is simple to check its presence thanks to new technologies.

However, that there are traces of gold does not mean that they can be used directly, nor that just digging a few meters gold seekers can find their precious treasure. As explained by Mel Lintern, geochemist of the Commonwealth of Scientific and Industrial Research of Australia (CSIRO) and co-author of the study, " the leaves can be used in combination with other tools to make the exploration more profitable and ecological ". And is that thanks to this technique could be found gold deposits buried tens of meters underground covered with sediments of up to 60 million years.

But the search for gold is not the only utility that researchers have found in this study. As Lintern himself points out, "eucalyptus trees are so common that this technique could be used more commonly, it could even be used to find other metals such as zinc and copper ."



TREASURE SEEKERS

Who ever dreamed of finding a buried chest full of gold coins? The articles in newspapers and magazines abound: "They will look for a treasure in a galleon sunk in the south" (Clarín 9/29/97); "Archaeological diving to study an English vessel" (Clarín, 4/1/98); "They discover domestic objects from the time of the May Revolution" (Clarín 5/18/98); "Submerged in the sea of ​​time (News 9/6/2000). There are more, but those mentioned are enough to enter the world of treasure hunting. Although it seems incredible, there are already several Argentines who dedicate themselves to this hobby. Fundamentally they practice it on the beaches during the summer season. They love to find rings, coins, bracelets, watches and other metallic objects that people lost in the sand. You can also find a piece thrown by the sea, such as screws, boat debris or, in the worst case, soda cans. It's a matter of luck and practice.

Undoubtedly, to begin the activity, metal detectors are indispensable tools. These are devices that generate an electromagnetic field and, when they pass over a metallic element, produce a sound variable in intensity according to the distance at which the object is located. The most elementary models detect buried pieces up to two meters deep (the sophisticated reach up to 10). It can be aluminum, copper, iron, silver, zinc, lead, gold, nickel or bronze (actually, all metals). A discrimination control allows you to adjust the equipment to the specific search, in order to filter the discovery of unwanted materials. Of course, to work properly you have to move them as if you were sweeping. Keeping them quiet will not produce any sound, even if you are inside an iron mine.

The local market offers several brands, models and prices of metal detectors. Elementals have a cost of $ 400, a value that increases in intervals of $ 200 according to the increasing order of complexity. There is a dish-shaped coil, simple electronics, high discrimination for ground or immersion, pulse (hundreds of checks per minute), pagers or search antennas for metals or stones with a radiesthesia principle (as in ancient times used to look for water), and even nocturnal viewfinders and thermometers to differentiate tunnels or burial caves.
According to fans, the subject gives to remove so much earth, as water and history. Within our country, some found pieces that date back to 1700; others, coins from the Jesuit period; and there were those who rose with pieces of a meteorite that fell in the Province of Chaco. If travel is concerned, all the territories mentioned in world history encyclopedias are potential treasure sites. You just have to study a possible place, find out a lot, and guide the search.

How to locate places to look for relics?

When we want to look for recently lost things, we limit ourselves to go to the places where we see that there have been great concentrations of people. When what we want is to look for ancient coins and relics, we must go to places where in ancient times large concentrations of people were produced ... or where there have been people over very long periods of time.



URCERI GC-1028 Metal Detector High Accuracy Waterproof 2 Modes Outdoor Gold Digger with Sensitive Search Coil LCD Display for Beginners Professionals, Yellow

Let's make a quick review of the places with the best odds so that nearby relics can be found:
       
    •       Sources: People have always needed water and went to the sources to look for it.
       
    •       Irrigation fields: The orchard, and in general all irrigated crops, in addition to requiring greater attention from their owners than other types of rainfed crops, is usually found in the vicinity of populations, so it is visited with much greater frequency.
       
    •       Crossroads of roads: The crossroads are typical places of rest, where the traveler finds other travelers and where there may have been brawls and commercial transactions.
       
    •       Front yards and manor house gardens: Typical places of entertainment and, in some cases, commercial transactions.
       
    •       Rivers and streams in the vicinity of population centers: For the same reasons as in the sources, people have always come to the banks of rivers and streams.

You also have to take into account the names of the sites, that is, the place names:

Places named how (Or that they contain in their denomination) :

The milestone, iniesta, the road, alcudia, albalat, slab, losilla, camino real, old road, costs ...

They tend to allude to the presence of a causeway or road, usually of Roman origin (Beware what you may find yourself transgressing the Heritage Law!) .

The corner, rinconada, the houses, the villas, the villares, the high, the tile, the inheritance ...

They usually allude to the presence of vestiges of ancient population.

The mill, the mill, the watchtower, the hill ...

They are usually dominant places of the environment and it is possible that they have harbored population in times of unrest. It is also possible that if in the vicinity passes or passed a road, they were occupied by armies, observation posts and even by bandits.

The valley, the glen, the rope, the corrals, the royal road ...

They are usually places linked to the transumancia of cattle, and the sources of their proximities have been used during centuries by the cattle ranchers.



Cotas, gentlemen ...

They usually point to old battlefields.

• In general lines, and finally, the names of the sites usually always have a reason to be, and to find relics nothing more simple than to find out what that reason for being is and why they charged that denomination in their day.
• If a name catches our attention, let's investigate it.
• Toponymy is full of data, sometimes mythical or referring to legends or things already happened. Hills of gold or treasure usually indicate only that, well in his day there was something found, well that there was a popular belief that there was hidden, while denominations such as vallejo de los muertos, but of the massacre or things like that can denote the presence of an old battlefield.

More than once and more than twice we will not find anything in those places ... but from time to time ...

Not only will they tell you what kind of metal they have detected, but they will also know how deep they will have to dig to get it back. The result is usually a numerical value called "VDI" (Visual Discrimination Indicator) that will appear on your screen. As you become more familiar with these readings and their audio signals, you can decide which numbers are worth exploring and which ones should be avoided. An expert jewelry seeker says: "I dig to recover solid targets that have a reading of 47 and above In areas too littered with rubbish, I do not dig for VDIs lower than that, because they are most likely aluminum and trash In relatively clean areas, I dig for lower readings, in the range of 40 and I often find jewelry.

GOLD DETECTOR: TIPS TO USE IT CORRECTLY

The use of a gold detector to locate pieces of gold is relatively new.

As long as you follow some basic steps and know how to use your new equipment, you should not have trouble finding your pieces.

On the other hand, If you've ever been on a crowded beach, you've probably seen people binging the edges of sand and water with their metal detectors.

In fact, many people live full time to find and sell rings, watches, necklaces and lost money that are buried in the sand on the beach.

With Millions of people visiting the beach each year, it is inevitable that some of their metal jewelry will be lost in the water or on the beach.

In addition to finding lost jewelry, metal detectors are also useful for finding gold nuggets.

That is why in this post we want to give you some tips to get the most out of the benefits to your gold detector.


Tips for using a gold detector
Below, we will show you some tips to use some of your metal detectors but to hunt for gold anywhere, so pay attention to what follows.


Induction balance Vs. Pulse induction in a gold detector
Most metal detectors fall into the category of induction balance or pulse induction, both are effective in finding gold.

With the induction Balance models (VLF), the energy goes up and down in the coil, which increases its sensitivity and general ability to locate smaller gold nuggets.

However, the disadvantage of its use is that it will trigger the presence of small pockets of minerals that some people may not find worth the effort of unearthing.

On the other hand, with the increasing value of gold, most prospectors and hunters prefer these models to other types.

Press Induction (PI) metal detectors send fast bursts of energy to the coil, which it turns it on and off at a rapid pace.

As a result, they are extremely effective in detecting the presence of large veinss of gold and burying themselves deep beneath the surface of the Earth.

Large-scale mining companies tend to use metal detectors by polishing induction for this reason. However, if you want to find smaller pieces of gold, you should keep the induction balance detectors.


Concentric Vs. Widesceen in a gold detector
Another decision that you will have to make when buying a gold detector is whether you should use a concentric or wide sweeping coil or widesceen.

In General, Concentric coils have the ability to locate minerals in the depths of the earth surface.

On the other hand, the widesceen coils are more effective for the prospection and detection of mineralization; Therefore, they are generally preferred by gold prospectors.

The only real disadvantage of widesceen is that they are not as deep, but this is a small price to pay for their ability to locate gold nuggets with ease.


Basics of hunting for gold with a metal detector
Once you have invested in a high quality metal detector that is able to discover gold nuggets, it is time to go out and try your new device.

Be sure to read the instruction manual carefully to familiarize yourself with all the features and devices your gold detector has to offer.


However, if you have any questions or need help, contact us and we will gladly help you.

Here we have a List of the best metal detectors and their prices , so check it before making a decision.

How to find a treasure: 4 steps

Treasure hunting can be in exotic places, at the flea market, in your city or even in your backyard. Knowing how to find a treasure depends on what kind of adventure you are looking for and how far you are willing to go. Treasure hunting is a fun event to do on your own or to participate with family or friends. Optimize your efforts before you start, to give you the best results.



Bounty Hunter Gold Digger Metal Detector

Steps

Find Treasure Step 1 one

• Determine what type of treasure you are looking for and what kind of tools you need to find it.
• If you are looking for gold or other precious metals, consider buying a metal detector.
• If you plan to find collectibles or antiques, study their assessment and how to recognize them. This may include buying books on the subject or doing research online.
• Review your history, if you are looking for historical treasures such as ancient ships, valuable documents and other historical objects.

Step 2 two

• Choose a place where you want to start your treasure hunt. Make sure you understand the rules of the location so you are not stealing from another individual, a country or an organization.
• Feel free to roam the public beaches with your metal detector in search of coins and other treasures. Because it is on public lands, what you find is yours. You should also consider going to a more secluded beach in order to increase your chance of a good find.
• Walk through antique stores, garage sales and flea markets to find that hidden find that has been overlooked by sellers and other buyers. Studying the features of what you are looking for and being able to discern fakes will help you with an easier identification of the item you are looking for.
• For historical items such as arrowheads, old documents and other antiques, make sure you have the proper credentials or permission for what you are looking for.
• You can search in old homes, and with permission, look for period items, such as coins, watches, old silver spoons and more. Before there were banks, or before people trusted them, many people hid their valuables on their property. What you find may be old junk or old valuables, and this would be applicable in places like old train stations, mining sites or monterias.

Step 3

• Look in areas that indicate what treasure has been found in the past. The most popular treasure beaches sometimes have additional elements that appear at similar points when the thunderstorms pass through.

Step 4

• Use a GPS unit to locate the places you have visited and to avoid going to the same place twice.

Tips

• Bring a friend or family member to help you divide the area or offer you a set of additional eyes.

How to search for gold: 20 steps

Relive the gold rush by finding your own gold. Prepare your stuff and devote an afternoon to find gold by the river. Looking for gold can be rewarding, if you do it correctly. Follow the steps below to learn how to look for this precious metal.



Garrett ACE 400 Metal Detector with DD Waterproof Search Coil and Pro-Pointer II

Part 1
Wash the biggest stones and mold

1
Fill the pan to ¾ with gravel. Immerse it in the water, just below the surface. [one]

2
Shake the pan vigorously several times. Move it back and forth, from one side to the other. Make sure not to shake the pan too hard, as the materials may fall out of the pan.

3
Stop moving the pan and use gentle circular movements. The gravel should begin to spin in a circle inside the pan. Doing so will cause most of the dirt and mud to come out of the pan or dissolve. Roll any root or piece of moss over the pan with your fingers to make sure the pan traps earth that may have gold.

4
Take out the big stones. Make sure they are clean (they should be clean after following these steps). Repeat these steps until the larger stones are removed and the heavier concentrations (such as gold and sand) are left resting on the bottom of the pan.

Part 2
Wash the lightest sand and gravel

1
Hold your pan just under the water, making sure it is completely submerged. Tilt the pan away from you slightly, as if you were trying to catch the current of water.

2
Shake the pan from side to side. Use a light throwing motion forward, as if you were about to throw a pancake (but do not flip the contents of the pan). Be careful, but use enough force to move the surface of the pan and the lighter gravel off the end of the pan. [two]

3
Level the pan. Shake it back and forth, while the pan is still in the water. Leveling and shaking the pan will cause the gold to settle to the bottom of the pan, and the lighter material will come to the surface.

4
Repeat the process several times. When you finish this part, there should be about 2 cups of heavy material in the pan. There should no longer be any rock or stone left. The materials left in the pan will be the heaviest. They are composed of black sand, or "concentrated", and if you're lucky, gold.

Part 3
Wash the black sand

1
Lift the pan from the water. Make sure there is about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water in the pan. Water is necessary because you will continue to filter the gold sand when you remove the pan from the stream.

2
Tilt the pan towards you slightly. Shake water and materials slowly in a circular motion. Doing so will allow you to check and see if there is a nugget or large piece of gold that you can pick up by hand. [3]
If you find gold nuggets, place them in the container where you are going to store the gold. This could be a legitimate bottle for samples of gold purchased in the store, a bottle or bottle of pills that you have found at home. [4]

3
Dip the pan back into the water. Repeat steps in part 3 (alternating back and forth between moving the pan in a circular motion, leveling and shaking). Be sure to be extremely careful when doing this step, because if you shake the pan with too much force, you could lose some of your gold.

4
Use a magnet if you have a plastic pan. Remove the pan from the water, keeping as little water as possible. Place a magnet on the bottom of the pan and move it slowly around it. The black sand is magnetic and is attracted by the magnet. This process quickly separates the black sand from the gold.
If you decide to use a magnet, you can throw away the trapped sand or use a bottle to filter the gold. The gold filter bottles have a suction tube on the top (like the bottles with dropper, which you can use). When you squeeze the bottle, a vacuum is created. When you release the bottle, suck anything you are aiming at (in this case, gold and water). This is how your gold will be safe inside the bottle. [5]

Pour the rest of the black and gold sand into a bottle. When you have filtered as much black sand as possible from the gold, it is best to pour the mixture into a bottle. The safest way to pour the contents of the pan into a bottle is to place a funnel in the mouth of the pan. Pour the contents of the pan into the bottle.

Feel free to shout "Eureka! " Once you have separated all the gold. Now you are a true gold seeker.

Part 4
Choose a place to look for gold

1
Go to a stream or river where you heard there is gold. Whether it's a family place, you've heard stories about a creek or you just have a hunch, there's usually some truth behind the family stories and legends. Even if you think there is no gold left in a certain place because it has already been explored, this is not always the case. Streams and rivers carry small flakes and gold stones from water deposits located upstream. Every winter, storms dig up more gold, and that gold can be yours.

2
Choose a place next to a stream or river. Where you choose, the water should be at least 15 cm (6 inches) deep. If the water is more than that deep, it could be too cloudy or it could be full of leaves or other types of dirt that will prevent you from seeing your pan when you submerge it.

3
Choose a place with a slow current. The water should be fast enough to remove sediment and debris from the skillet, but slow enough so that it does not move the pan when submerged.

4
Choose a place that has large stones or a fallen tree along the water's edge. It's optional, but a large stone you can sit on while looking for gold will make your day much easier (and your legs and back will thank you).

5
Choose the pan. The normal pans are made of metal or plastic. Plastic pans are best for beginners because they are rust-proof, lighter than metal pans and come in black (which allows you to see gold more easily), they can also be specially textured to catch gold.
If you use a metal skillet, be sure to remove any traces of oil from the surface (if you use a new skillet, you should not worry about the oil). Remove the oil by holding the pan over a campfire with a pair of tongs or fire-resistant gloves. Heat the pan until it gets a weak red glow and then dip it in the water. This process removes the oil and gives the pan a dark blue color that will allow you to see gold more easily.

6
Learn how to use sieves to search for gold. The sieves can be placed on the pan and serve to separate the larger pieces from the smaller ones. It is not necessary to use a sieve, but it can be useful if you filter the gold from black sand or from concentrates.

Tips

• Try not to shake the pan too much. This creates a centrifugal force, which causes the heavier particles (gold) to shoot out of the pan.
• If you could not find anything, try again. If you still do not get anything, try somewhere else.
• Learn to find places that may have gold. This will help you find gold more easily and prevent you from looking for gold in deceptive places. You can search for photos on the Internet.
• Do not be fooled by the pyrite. This mineral is usually composed of iron or arsenic sulfide and may look a lot like gold. You can distinguish the pyrite from real gold, because it forms small crystalline cubes. The gold is found in irregularly shaped bumps or small "flakes" in the pan.

Things you will need

• Plastic or metal frying pan
• Bottle
• Gold strainer
• River or stream

That's why we want to leave you some little tips so you know how to look for gold in your next visit to a river:

Where to go for gold with a metal detector

There are thousands of places in every country to go and search.

In the case of the United States, along with Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire in the Northeast, North Carolina and Georgia are popular with southeastern miners, while California, Utah, Oregon, Nevada and Idaho are well known in the West.

To find a good flow, it's probably worth it if you join the Gold prospectors Association of America or look for a mining club on Facebook in your area.

Searching rivers near your location with the help of Google Maps is also a good idea.

What to take when going to look for gold

For a beginner, it is to be seen to dress for wet conditions like many miners who wear hip boots during the summer and water boots in the fall.

You should also carry a bag to place your metal detector and other tools, such as a shovel, and some space such as a tray the size of a plate of food to place the gold you find.

How to get gold with a metal detector

The first step is to find the right place in the river where you could collect the gold, such as:

• A staff in the bedrock.
• Log jams.
• Inner corners of rivers or spaces between pebbles.

Then start digging a little, and start using your metal detector.

From there, it continuously removes larger rocks and pebbles. Then, place your detector under the water and saturate what is left, a process that allows the lighter material to float away.

Use the tray the size of a plate of food, and the strainer called a sorter to place the gold you get.

Turn your phone into a metal detector in case you lose something on the beach this summer

We are with a foot in the month of July and for many begin the expected summer holidays in which many people await a few days of rest and relaxation on some beach in the world. But as every year the beaches are once again a place where it is easy to lose some of the important things that we carry with us such as car keys, house keys, the apartment, loose money or sunglasses.



Bounty Hunter TK4 Tracker IV Metal Detector

And it is that the sand of the beach has the ability to easily bury everything that falls on it, it is as if it swallows everything that falls down. This can generate really uncomfortable situations , because if we lose the keys of the car or home without having a copy in our hands we can find ourselves with serious problems in a few days in which what we least want is to live these situations of stress.

But nowadays, thanks to the technologies that have reached our pockets through smartphones, we can have in a simple way some tools that will help us in this kind of situations. And is that today's phones have many sensors that in this case we can take advantage of with the help of a software to detect metals .

In this way, in an easy and free way we can turn our device into a metal detector that will help us find the keys, glasses or coins that we lose on the beach this summer .

For Android devices

If we have a mobile operating system from Google in the Play Store we can find several applications such as Metal Detector , which is available for download for free and that will allow us to find our belongings thanks to the use made of the magnetic sensor of the phone. In the case of detecting a metal we can see how the strength of the magnetic field increases.

Its use is simple, since you only have to open the application on your mobile phone and start moving it around the area where you want to look for that metal that you have lost. The accuracy depends on the sensors of the device and will also detect electronic devices due to electromagnetic waves. So if we lose the phone, we could also find it from another smartphone with this application.

For iOS devices

If, on the other hand, your smartphone has an iOS operating system, you can also find some third-party applications in the App Store that manage the iPhone's sensors in order to detect metals such as the FREE Metal Detector .

How to make a metal detector

In this article: Using a calculator and a radio to detect metals Converting a smartphone into a metal detector Arming a kit for metal detector

Building your own metal detector is fun and educational. Although building a traditional metal detector may require a kit (or a thorough knowledge of electrical circuits), you can create simpler versions with home appliances. The fastest way to detect metals is using the magnetic field of your smartphone. However, a well-known method for making a metal detector is to use a calculator and a radio.



New Home Innovations NHI Classic Metal Detector for Adults & Children - Best Metal Detectors for Kids 10 and Up - Waterproof Coil Detects All Metal

Method 1
Use a calculator and a radio to detect metals


    1
    Tune the radio to the highest band in the AM setting. Make sure you are not tuned into a station. You will hear the static tone clearly and continuously. This will allow you to hear any difference in tone when your device detects a metal object. [one]

    2
    Build the search head. Turn on the calculator. Then, place the two devices back to back until you hear a light and constant tone. You may have to place the devices at certain angles or distances to get that tone. [two]

    3
    Stick the devices with adhesive tape in that position. Once the calculator and the radio produce the right tone, you should stick them with adhesive tape in that position. If the distance is too uncomfortable to stick the devices, install them in that position on a board. That way, the search head will stay firm and function properly while you search for metals. [3]

    4
    Hold the search head to an axis. An old broom handle or a similar stick can be a suitable axle for this purpose. Use multipurpose tape as a quick and safe method of installing the shaft. Another thing you can do is use plastic clamps to secure the two pieces together. Use any method that works best for the shape of the search head. [4]

    5
    Test your metal detector on some home metals. First, check that the metal detector works by placing a spoon on the table. Then, pass it on the spoon and listen until it beeps or a new sound (different from the constant tone it produces). Now you can take it outside or around your house to locate other metal objects.

Method 2
Convert a smart phone into a metal detector


    1
    Download an application to detect metals. Smartphones are electrical devices and, as such, produce a magnetic field. There are developed applications that allow you to use your phone's own magnetic field to detect metal objects. Go to your respective application store (which differs from platform to platform) and download the metal detector application. [5]
        An example of a metal detector application is the "Metal Detector" application (metal detector).

    2
    Pass your phone over metals with the application open. Once the application has been downloaded, open it. Follow any configuration instructions within the application to work optimally. When the application is loaded and ready, start passing your phone over different metal objects. [6]

    3
    Observe the measurement of the magnetic field change. The application to detect metals works by measuring changes in the magnetic field of your phone. As you pass over the metal, it will interact with that field and the application will detect that interaction. These interactions are shown as fluctuations in the magnetic field as you move the phone from object to object. [7]
        For example, as you pass the phone over a metal object, the magnitude of the field could increase dramatically, which indicates that you have found some metal.

Method 3
Assemble a kit for metal detector


    1
    Build the hardware You can buy kits for metal detectors that come with several pieces of hardware . Some include a coil and an axis. Others will only have a control box. Choose the right kit for you and assemble the parts according to the instructions. [8]
        If you choose a kit with less hardware , you will have to make additional parts such as the shaft and the coil.

    2
    Solder the circuits. The control box will require welding to complete all the necessary circuits . You will need a gun or a soldering iron to solder the components . If you have never soldier before, consider asking a more experienced person for help. [9]

    3
    Check the metal detector. Once you have armed the metal detector, you must test it. Place different metals on the floor and pass the coil over them. If the coil detects metals, you will be ready to take your new metal detector and start looking for treasures. [10]

Warnings

•     Do not use a metal detector near electronic devices, as magnetic fields could damage them.

Metal detectors offer an exciting way to find gold and other types of minerals. For a long time they have been known as highly effective prospecting tools for finding large mineral deposits. There are countless areas to explore - some more advantageous than others. Dry and arid climates are popular for finding meteorites. Gold often in the earth, sand, iron ore fields, rivers, water springs and even in oceanic waters. Be sure to research and find out with local clubs and businesses to know the laws in your area before you start hunting on any private property. As you can see, there is a wide variety of sites for treasure hunting. It all depends on the type of rocks or minerals that you want to look for.

Prospecting gems and gold

Gems are highly collectible minerals. Many people use them for jewelery, others put them in showcases. Only crystalline gems are considered minerals (a natural inorganic substance with different chemistry). While a metal detector will not find gems, a complete category is designated for gold prospecting. Gold often encounters other minerals with minerals, including iron. These are known as "indicator minerals". Among the indicator minerals that can be found with gold are quartz, magnetite, garnet, corundum (sapphire), emerald and (the best) diamond. So, indirectly your metal detector can lead you to the gems.

Where should you start your search for gold?

Anywhere past gold nuggets have been found in the past or in any gold area. So, this is where research is the key. Find out what past mining operations have occurred. Then, use your metal detector to explore an area where you know that others have found gold. Do you expect to be awarded gold with your metal detector? If you have the right tools and knowledge, you can find pieces of gold, gold veins, gold shavings and gold nuggets. Currently, with the price of gold on the rise, people can make a career selling their findings with gold prospection and a metal detector.

What are the best metal detectors to find gold?

There are two main types of metal detectors for gold. They can be high frequency VLF circuits, which are sensitive to gold, or with pulse induction circuits. Detectors with high operating frequency can detect small gold pieces and gold nuggets more easily than low frequency ones. Metal detectors for gold prospection can be adjusted to filter the interference of most minerals. Pulse induction detectors are known to nullify the most difficult conditions of mineralized soils. These models are also excellent for finding large gold nuggets at extreme depths. Be sure to take a look at our recommendations on the best metal detectors for gold .

Be the meteorite man

Some local legend will say that a meteor fell near where you live. Perhaps there is even a large visible crater to add credibility to the story. You can use a metal detector in this place and wait for a signal increase, which indicates a large metallic object. The features that help identify true meteorites include the attraction of magnets, having rust spots and sometimes a greenish color. According to the Discovery Channel series, Meteorite Men, you can cover acres of land in plowed fields, forests, hillsides, abandoned farms and dirt roads without signaling for space rocks. There are several types of meteorites; Those that have iron and nickel can be found with a decent metal detector.

What are the best metal detectors for meteorites?

Experienced meteorite hunters recommend medium- or high-end gold detectors to find these elusive space rocks. The XP DEUS and the Fisher Gold Bug 2 are excellent choices for finding meteorites. When you find an objective with these models, they make themselves felt with great intensity. These models are very sensitive to iron and nickel, the main components of meteorites. On the other hand, they also have controls for integrated ground balance. The ground balance is a good function when hunting gold, but when hunting meteorites, it is possible to omit small meteorites. The use of manual ground balance will help solve the situation. If you think you will spend a lot of time prospecting for gold and looking for meteors, the more expensive metal detectors may be worth it. Read our recommendations to choose the best metal detectors for meteorite hunting .
