Long story short, the best metal detector for trashy areas is the XP Deus. But wait a second…
There’s a better option to hunt trashy spots with the detector you currently own.
You can simply install a small double D coil. This way you don’t have to spend a lot of money on a new metal detector.
Selecting the best settings for your Garret ACE 250 will help you use it more comfortably.
They depend on many variables such as the nature of the soil you’re hunting or the desired metal you’re looking for.
The settings for gold aren’t the same for hunting coins. Metal detecting parks isn’t like fields or woods.
Plowed fields (or Ploughed if you’re on the other side of the Atlantic) are a popular site that detectorists always visit.
I’ll explain what is the difference between metal detecting fields in the UK and The US. And what’s the best way to do that in each case.
Then, I’ll give you some tips. And finally, I’ll talk about why detectorists think plowed fields are a good spot to hunt.
Crash sites are popular places for detectorists. They’re interesting for many reasons. They may have a historical value if you’re interested in the aviation history or the world war 2…
You may also find rare original squadron emblems badges or some pieces that you can sell on eBay, or some remains of a UFO (if you believe they exist).
Depending, on the length of the hunt, detectorists have to walk long distances in unpaved surfaces. That’s why they need good shoes to wear while using your metal detector.
I’ll start by listing the requirements that a boot should have to be suitable for metal detecting.
Then, I’ll recommend few models that I think may be the best for this hobby.
The Garrett ACE 250 is a popular midrange metal detector. After using it for some time, you may want to upgrade it by fitting it with the best coil.
Let me tell you something…
There’s no best coil. There the best one for the desired purpose. You have to choose the search coil that suits the type of soil where you’re metal detecting and that can detect what you’re looking for.
You want to buy a cover for your search coil or you already have one and you have some questions about it.
This article answers the frequently asked question about coil covers. The questions and their answers are separate. Use the table of contents to navigate easily.
When you swing your metal detector, the search coil could be scratched by rocks. Also, its bottom will wear because of the constant rubbing against the ground.
I’ll share with you five places to metal detect without permission. But, before we start, please note:
So let’s go back to the famous question: where can I detect without permission? And here’s where you can enjoy your freedom.
The most obvious place where you can metal detect without a permission is your own yard!
To make the most of your metal detector, it’s better to have multiple search coils to use them in a different location.
This is expensive. But the recovery rate will increase and you’ll be happy with the investment you’ve made.
There are many search coils on the market with different shapes and sizes. Each one of them is suitable for a certain environment.
