Of all the hobbies that there are to do in this world, there are very few that offer the buzz of finding buried treasure. I don't know, maybe it's the kid in us or all those pirate shows we watched growing up. Face it, the thought of going out there with our metal detector and discovering, heaven knows what, is a thrill that is hard to match. Okay, this article is going to go over some things you might want to know BEFORE venturing off into this strange land.
Being successful at metal detecting is only going to be as good as the equipment that you use. That means getting a metal detector that's actually worth its weight and understanding HOW to use it. Unfortunately, too many people go for the less expensive equipment and don't take the time to learn how to use it. They end up frustrated with their results and blame the whole metal detecting hobby. It's not the hobby's fault. It all starts with the equipment you use.
Next, there's the question of exactly what it is you want to go searching for. Is it coins and antiques or are you going after some legit buried treasure? You need to make sure that you have a purpose in mind because you will need different equipment and different techniques depending on what it is that you're looking for. No, not all metals are the same. That's the first thing you need to understand before you even get started.
Something most people don't think about, which is very important, is finding a hunting partner. You don't want to be out there looking for this stuff on your own. Having a buddy along can be very helpful, mostly because somebody else could find something that you've overlooked. The best way to find somebody is to frequent metal detecting forums and look for posts that are specifically made for hooking up with other metal detecting enthusiasts.
