What Is the Best Professional Metal Detector?

Determining which professional grade metal detector you need can be a difficult task. Luckily, our team at Kellyco can help you find exactly what you need. There are several important features and factors that would be helpful to keep in mind. Depending on what industry you work in, you may want to purchase a waterproof metal detector. You will want to make sure you buy the proper search coil for your task. If you are looking to cover a lot of ground, you will want a large DD coil. If you are looking for metal objects in a trashy area, consider a small, powerful search coil. There are many other features such as headphones, a built-in pinpointer, and ground balance features that will make your machine work better for you as well.

Now that you have read about some of the features you may want, you can decide which pro metal detector you are interested in. For those who need to find deep targets, consider the Nokta Makro, as it is a very powerful machine. If you are looking for a fully submersible, pulse induction metal detector, consider the Aquascan Aquapulse, as it can find precious metals virtually anywhere.

What Are the Best Professional Grade Metal Detectors for Finding Gold, Silver, and Jewels?

Much like the topic above, the best professional grade metal detector for you is going to depend on what you need out of it. Whether you are searching for precious metals or any other metal objects, you will want different features. If you are going to be trying to find small gold flakes and gold nuggets, it is recommended to get a machine with a high frequency instead of a lower operating frequency. High frequency allows the machine to pick up smaller metal objects in the ground, water, or wherever else you may be treasure hunting. Be very conscious of the operating frequency for the metal detector you buy, because this can be very important depending on what your industry is.

Best Professional Metal Detector Features

While many professional metal detectors come with the same great features, it is important to understand what they are and what you should make sure your machine comes with. At the very least a waterproof coil is a must, if you opt to not go for the fully submersible machine. An LCD display is always great, as it clearly shows you your battery life, iron discrimination, and your target ID. If you plan to hunt in saltwater or in sandy beaches, consider a pulse induction metal detector, as very low frequency (VLF) machines often don’t work as well in these conditions. If you pay attention to these features, you will get a great machine for your professional needs. If you still would like help deciding which metal detector is for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

Is a Professional Waterproof Metal Detector a Good Idea?

This may seem like an obvious question, but to many detectorists looking for a professional metal detector, it is not so obvious. Waterproof detectors can cost more, and when on a budget, this might not be acceptable. It is highly dependent on which industry you work in, as is the environment you often use a metal detector in. Keep in mind that accidents happen and metal detectors can be inadvertently exposed to water. Kellyco has many options that are a great combination of features, waterproof abilities, and price.
