Detection techniques for 8 terrains
- Beach bliss
- Forest finds
- Field fun
- Park picks
- River riches
- Desert jewels
- Mountain hunt
- Yard treasures
1. Beach Bliss
- Low Tide Timing:
Beaches are like giant treasure maps during low tide. The sea pulls back, revealing new secrets hidden under the sand.
You can learn in-depth about how Low tides and high tides work.
- Beach Detecting:
To maximize your finds on the beach, consider areas near volleyball courts or popular sunbathing spots. Wet sand near the waterline can also be a goldmine, especially after busy beach days.
- Underwater Metal Detecting:
If you’re venturing into the shallows or deeper waters, use waterproof metal detectors and headphones.
Remember, items can settle deeper underwater, so be patient and move your coil slowly. Scuba detecting can open up a whole new world of treasures!
2. Forest Finds
- Tree Root Trick:
Forests are mysterious and old, full of tales and hidden gems. Big, ancient trees might have seen treasures buried at their roots.
Look carefully around them; it’s like the trees are whispering the secrets of hidden gold and relics. Maybe an old ring or a forgotten toy is nestled there, waiting for you!
3. Field Fun
- Row by Row:
Open fields are like blank canvases sprinkled with treasures. The trick is to walk in straight lines, just like when you’re mowing a lawn, but this time, you’re hunting for treasures!
Scan back and forth, and who knows, a shiny object or an old coin might pop up to say hello!
4. Park Picks
- Parks and Gold:
Parks are where fun happens, and sometimes, things get lost in the excitement. Check the grounds near playgrounds and benches.
Imagine all the things that can slip out of your pockets! Every beep of your metal detector could be a lost piece of jewelry or forgotten keys!
5. River Riches
- Edge Explorer:
Rivers are like conveyor belts of treasures, bringing along all sorts of exciting finds. The edges, where the water meets the land, are especially lucky spots.
Take a peek; it’s like the river is gifting you glittering stones, old coins, or even artifacts from upstream!
6. Desert Jewels
- Early Bird or Night Owl:
The desert hides its secrets well. But when it’s cooler in the early mornings or late evenings, it’s treasure time!
With the sun not too strong, take your metal detector for a walk. Every grain of sand might be covering ancient treasures.
7. Mountain Hunt
- Rocky Routes:
Mountains are natural treasure chests. Explore around the rocks; it’s as if each stone is a guardian of hidden gems.
Rocks can trap things over the years, turning mountain paths into exciting treasure trails. A crystal, a piece of old pottery, or hidden gems could be your prize!
8. Yard Treasures
- Corner Quest:
Even your backyard can surprise you! Maybe there’s a relic from a past resident or an old toy waiting to be rediscovered.
- Metal Detecting in High-Mineralized Soil:
If you notice more false signals or your detector seems to be going crazy, it could be due to highly mineralized soil.
Using a ground balance feature and possibly reducing sensitivity can help you tackle this challenge.
