While in class we have a sharing time each day and after each of my metal detecting and scuba diving adventures I would always share my experiences and pictures with the class. They were always so excited when I told them about metal detecting and were always asking questions about it. They grew to love the hobby just by hearing it through me so I knew that we needed to have a fun day dedicated to metal detecting. It was the perfect opportunity to teach them about metal detecting and letting them experience it themselves.

A fresh, new beginning. That is what we are all hoping 2021 brings after the wild and crazy ride experienced in 2020.  When I learned of a large metal detecting event called Florida Hunt 7 being planned for February 2021 in Florida, I thought "what a perfect way to start the new year!"

There isn’t one metal detector that’s better than all the rest, although there are a few stand-out detectors in multiple categories. This guide will examine the features that make for a good detector in those categories.

First step to figuring out what metal detector is best for you is deciding on a budget. Many people who are beginners decide they want to start off with a low-budget, cheap metal detector and work up from there. Although they are referred to as "cheap" metal detectors compared to some advanced machines, these detectors can offer great quality and performance. 

We made a list (and we checked it twice!) of some exciting gifts that we think any metal detecting enthusiast will love. These gifts will make your metal detecting a little easier, a little more fun and a lot more successful.

One of the most common requests we get from the metal detecting community is for tips on the best way to detect for gold, information on the different types of gold detecting technologies and our recommended gold detectors.
