The Way To Handle A Metal Detector Successfully

The correct technique is very important when you are swinging a metal detector. Should the coil be held too high over the ground, you lose depth. If you are swinging the coil too rapidly, valuable finds may be passed over. And should your pace be too fast, you will likely miss a treasure.

I have found it useful to consider the coil as a paint roller. Imagine that the coil is soaked with paint and you are attempting to paint the ground over which you are walking. While you are slowly swinging the coil from side to side over the ground, visualize that your are applying paint. So, you are attempting to paint the complete area which you are searching. Should you be capable of visualizing the paint, you ought to successfully cover every inch of the area, leaving no spot unpainted.

Regarding the height of the coil from the ground, you should hold it as near to the ground as you possibly can. Of course, should you be searching in tall grass, you ought to be holding the coil three or four inches from the ground. Alternatively, should you be searching a flat surface such as at the beach, you can very easily swing the coil just over the sand. You need to keep in mind that the farther you have the coil from the surface of the ground, the more depth you are giving up. For example, should there be an old coin six inches underneath the surface, and your metal detector can detect to a depth of eight inches, and the coil is three inches over the surface, the coin will be missed. Should the coil have been right on the ground, you could have detected the coin.

As for the speed at which you walk, think about the paint roller analogy we mentioned. For as long as you are able to paint the complete surface of the ground, without skipping over any places, you are walking at an acceptable pace. But if you feel that your make believe paint is missing some of the ground, you should retard the pace you are walking.

I have employed this technique with much success in locating numerous gold coins, valuable items of jewelry and various other rarities. I trust that you will see improvement in your success rate by utilizing this technique. The internet is a great place to find and buy the right detector for your needs.
