A <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> can cost very little, as low as $50 or higher that $400 for a top of the line model. This is one hobby where you really do get what you pay for, because the more expensive top of the line detectors use the most advanced technology and they have the best features available. <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Metal Detectors use one of three types of technology: </span></span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:1Ak1T1a7gFc2qM:http://hackedgadgets.com/wp-content/diy_metal_detector_1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 118px; height: 89px;" src="http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:1Ak1T1a7gFc2qM:http://hackedgadgets.com/wp-content/diy_metal_detector_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillation) - <span style="font-weight:bold;">Metal Detectors</span> using BFO technology have two coils of wire, one large coil is located in the search coil of the detector, the other small coil of wire is located within the System Control Pack. Each coil of wire is connected to an oscillator that produces pulses of current. These pulses of current pass through the coils generating radio waves. A receiver housed within the System Control Pack receives the radio waves and makes a series of tones based upon the frequencies of the radio waves. When the detector search coil passes over a coin or other metal item a magnetic field is created around the coin or metal item, this magnetic field causes interference with the frequency of the radio waves generated by the search coil. And changes the tone produced by the receiver. <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Metal Detectors</span> using BFO technology are the ones your likely to get when paying under $100 for, that's right, the cheapest. The BFO technology is the easiest and cheapest to make, thus the prices of the detectors are cheap. The only problem is, BFO technology is very limited when compared to PI and BFO detectors, and the ability to distinguish between junk metals and silver or other coins is very poor. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:1fZJR2IcuxJEvM:http://www.robertopiecollection.com/Application/images/cscope/cscope-CS4Pi-md.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 125px;" src="http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:1fZJR2IcuxJEvM:http://www.robertopiecollection.com/Application/images/cscope/cscope-CS4Pi-md.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">PI (Pulse Induction)</span> - <span style="font-weight:bold;">Metal Detectors</span> using PI technology sometimes use a single coil or a series of coils working together as a transmitter and receiver. Short bursts of electrical current are send through a coil of wire, causing a magnetic field. When the burst of electrical current ends the magnetic field reverses polarity. A sharp electrical spike is created, then more pulses are created, the whole process repeats and works like a series of echoes, giving a different report or echo depending upon the metal it encounters. This type of metal detector is not very good for discrimination between different types of metals or coins, but it is good to use where some other types of metal detectors have trouble working, such as in salt-water, and metals can be detected much deeper with this technology than the others. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:xpQOpqh4T-guoM:http://www.radioshack.com/graphics/uc/rsk/ResearchLibrary/BuyersGuides/Images/6303018.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 106px; height: 114px;" src="http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:xpQOpqh4T-guoM:http://www.radioshack.com/graphics/uc/rsk/ResearchLibrary/BuyersGuides/Images/6303018.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">VLF (Very Low Frequency)</span> - <span style="font-weight:bold;">Metal Detectors</span> using this technology have two search coils. One coil called the 'transmitter coil' transmits electricity rapidly many times per second, first in one direction around the coil, then in the other direction. The other coil called the 'Receiver Coil' acts just like the name implies it receives frequencies or data that come or 'bounce' back from the objects the transmitter coil detects in the search area. This type of Metal Detector is great for it's ability for being able to distinguish between different types of metals. <br /><br /><br />The first <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> my wife and I bought together cost about $69.00 it was one of them cheap ones that used the 'BFO' technology. This was one of them <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detectors</span> you see in the magazines that sell other household items, etc. You can buy cheap <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detectors</span> like these at most Radio Shack stores, and some K Marts and Wal Marts. The first day we took the metal detector outside we started finding some Nert things and my wife and I were hooked. We did find our share of junk items in the yard, like aluminum foil, nails and the usual pull tabs and junk metal. But we also found 7 old diecast cars in great condition. They were all different and were 'TOOTSIE' diecast vehicles. I looked on eBay and the bunch was worth around $15 or more. We also found a 1961 silver Roosevelt dime in fine condition, in our yard, plus the usual pennies. <br /><br /><br />After reading about how the 3 different types of Metal Detector technologies work and differ from each other, you must decide how or what you will be mostly using your <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> for. Will you be hunting for small objects like coins, jewelry and gold nuggets, or searching for a large cache or object. The things you may want to use your detector for, play one of the most important factors besides pricing in deciding what type of detector to buy. Most folks want a detector that is great at finding coins, gold nuggets, and jewelry on the land and in small creeks and streams, this would be a detector using 'VLF' technology. Almost all of the modern detectors have a waterproof search coil which make searching in shallow creeks and streams possible. <br /><br /><br />There is Computer Software that is made just for the hobby of <span style="font-weight:bold;">Metal Detecting</span>.

They have many uses in many different fields, some of which include: the military in mine fields, airports and other security checkpoints, geophysical prospectors, and beach-combers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:OVqOdXiV2XkXwM:http://www.metaldetector.cc/ProductImages/garrett%2520detectors/Ace150-3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 128px; height: 94px;" src="http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:OVqOdXiV2XkXwM:http://www.metaldetector.cc/ProductImages/garrett%2520detectors/Ace150-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>The <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> is also included in the detector radar family, because many use radar in their systems. Other members of the detector radar family include: car radar detector systems, weather radar systems, and cordless radar systems.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Metal detectors</span> are made up of an oscillator that produces an alternating current that passes through a coil, which creates an alternating magnetic field. This means that when an electronically conductive metal is near the detector, it creates eddies of air, which causes a change in the magnetic field, which enables the operator to see where the metal is.<br /><br />Handheld <span style="font-weight:bold;">detectors</span> are the most common, and are used in the majority of cases. Even land mines can be detected through the use of handheld devices. However, for really deep metals, ground penetrating radar is used in conjunction with the <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> to unearth the hidden metal.<br /><br />The <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> has an interesting history. The first <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detectors</span> were created in the late 19th century. The original inventors of the idea hoped to be able to create easier methods of finding ore for miners. One physicist, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, invented the induction balance system in those days, but it took a hundred years for others to see the need for his idea.<br /><br />Early machines were difficult to use, and took a lot of battery power. In the 1930's, the modern <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> format began to emerge. Gerhard Fisher is the first patented inventor of the <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span>. He discovered <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detecting</span> quite by accident, when he found a discrepancy in his radio navigational methods. His model was used in WWII, yet afterwards, when there were surplus detectors lying around, the hobby of finding metal for entertainment was formed.<br /><br />A <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> is a very useful and entertaining tool. It is hard to imagine someone never having seen one. Nearly everyone has come in contact with <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detectors</span> at least once. It is an interesting fact that the <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> is part of the detector radar family.<br /><br />This is due to the fact that many detectors use a cordless radar system in their mechanisms. The <span style="font-weight:bold;">metal detector</span> also has an interesting history, and thinking about it the next time you're standing at a security checkpoint will give you something to ponder to pass the time.<br /><br />Article By: <span style="font-style:italic;">Mike Selvon</span><br />Visit Mike Selvon portal to learn more about metal detectors.

Seldom would hunters of all kinds set to track on land, or to ferry on sea without this device. <br /><br />These hobbyists or adventurers may find it very beneficial not in terms of using this device to really get expected hunt like the archeologists and the sea fearer underwater hunters and pirates, but it provides a lot of enjoyment and exercise attainable at any rate just like in athletic gymnasiums.<br /><br />Viewing from the immediate past, the misconception of metal detector is that of a very bulky backpack that is shoulder breaking, conceptualized in relation to the heavy adventurous perk of one who goes out for great land or sea adventures. Today, the modern innovation of such device devaluated that bulky heavy concept for metal detectors are sleek, lightweight rig, easy to use and handy that won't make someone tire until he spots his pot of gold.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Underwater Metal Detector</span><br /><br />Considered a best companion for sea fearers, sea sports enthusiasts, and fishermen, this underwater device serves best beside a batch of other equipment to any hunter at sea. A deep ocean adventure is incomplete without this piece of metal device, and it is very valuable at all cost. To a skilled scuba diver, having it is a must before his plunge into the deep waters.<br /><br />Manufacturers who have reached high levels of expertise in metal detector design, and perfected pulse discovery techniques over the years paved ways to cope with today's innovation of the underwater metal searcher. Both amateur and professional divers could avail alike for easy use, handling, reliability, and practicability.<br /><br />One of the best, if not, the best in metal detector today; the Elsec Metal Detector 2000 manufactured of tough non-corrosive construction for heavy-duty, using PVC ultimate High-Pressure moldings.<br /><br />High-level sensitivity competes with other metal detectors with usage of the pulse inductive detection techniques on either ferrous or non-ferrous, and iron of divalent nature, and extensive distances. With usability in approximate depth of 200 meters, it is neutrally buoyant, and controllable. To add it all in convenience, is the "no switch on and off" of power, for it automatically does so on both; upon immersion and up, from underwater. <br /><br />A solid-state indicator alerts awareness how long will the battery last, but this model is furnished with rechargeable batteries that will automatically let power last for 10 hours. When metal is detected, you'll be directed to three ways attraction, (1) a graduated illuminated meter, (2) a solid flashing indicator, and a (3) variable frequency bone conductor earphone.<br /><br />By using the best quality electronic components in the manufacture of underwater metal detector serves assurance in reliability and easy maintenance. If anything goes wrong unexpectedly, the circuit board could be out rightly replaced.<br /><br />A metal detector is not much of a complex device. It has three basic parts. The first one is the coil which can come in different shapes, a power supply and a control box. Bulk of the job rests on the control box because it is that one part that is ticked when there is metal around and this ticking is what causes the metal detector to do its job. <br /><br />Even the entire process of how the device works can be simplified in two sentences but then again there is a degree of difficulty concerned when we talk about a detector who is trying to detect a specific kind of metal. <br /><br />Of all the different kinds of metal detectors, probably one of the most important is the gold metal detector. It is pretty obvious that gold is an element that is worth a lot in many ways and this makes gold metal detectors a prized possession as well.<br /><br />How metal detectors identify various metals is by testing the conductivity of the metal. A target signal is eliminated for unwanted metals like leftover iron & steel, pull tabs, bottle tabs and others in the same group while increasing target signals to high conductive metals as gold along with brass and silver. <br /><br />Apart from gold hunting, coin & relic hunting are also expensive areas of metal detecting. The other interesting thing is the underwater & wading detecting. The use of metal detectors in these areas gives the device a character that will not square it into a box as just a device for security measure. <br /><br />The differences of these metal detectors lie in their technology, type of ground balance, frequency it operates in and of course the capability to discriminate between the many types of metals.<br /><br />Going back to gold metal detectors, gold mining companies invest in high quality gold metal detectors because they really need to find the best one in order to stay, survive or earn in the business. <br /><br />If you are able to find the best gold metal detector that means it will be easier for the workers to find this precious metal meaning more money for everyone if you will not be successful then it means you invested in an equipment that is not so helpful. In the latter's case, you might need to discard your existing equipment and buy a better one or upgrade your existing one.<br /><br /><br />About the Author:<br />Low Jeremy maintains http://Barbie.ArticlesForReprint.com.

If you swing the coil to quickly, you may miss a valuable target. And if you walk too quickly, you may pass over a target. <br /><br />I like to think of the coil as a paint roller. Pretend that your coil is loaded with paint, and that you're trying to paint the ground that you're walking across. As you slowly sweep the coil back-and-forth across the ground imagine paint being applied. You're trying to paint the entire area you were trying to cover. If you can imagine the paint, you should be able to cover the entire area without missing a single spot. <br /><br />As far as the height above the ground goes, you want to hold the coil as close to the ground as possible. Obviously, if you're working in tall grass you're maybe 3 or 4 in. above the ground. On the other hand, on a smooth flat beach surface, you can easily skim the coil right over the sand. Remember, the higher the coil is above the surface the more depth you will lose. If they've got a old coin that is 6 in. below the surface, and your detector can detect 8 in., and the coil is 3 in. above the ground, you will miss that target. If the coil had been directly upon the ground you would be able to detect that target. <br /><br />For walking speed, remember the paint rollerr analogy above. As long as you are painting the entire surface of the ground and not missing any spots, you are not walking too quickly. However, if you find that your imaginary paint is missing areas, you need to slow down your pace. <br /><br />I have used this technique successfully to find lots of gold coins, valuable jewelry, and other rare finds. The hope you find this technique improves your success rate. <br /><br />About The Author<br /><br />Dean Novosat is an avid treasure hunting and can often be found metal detecting the beaches of the mid-Atlantic United States.

Can I hunt here? </strong><br /><br />First and foremost, always get permission to hunt a site, even when it is a public place like a beach or park, one way I have gotten permission for these types of places is to offer a free service, for instance, ask the caretaker if they would like you to remove all the sharp metal objects buried in the sand, like flip tops, and crushed cans, provided you can keep or properly dispose of what is found, they are more likely to allow you access if they get something useful out of it, like having their beach cleaned and unsafe items removed, and feel free to show them what hazards you have removed from their patrons harm, so they will allow you to return often, of course you don't show the coins, jewelry, or valuables you also sifted out of the sand. <br /><br /><strong>2. Bad times = good times for you! </strong><br /><br />Although where to hunt is important , it's also "when" you hunt some places that makes the most difference. When hunting beaches almost anytime is OK but how much better would your hit rate be if you went after a very hot and busy beach day? well you might think that improves your chances of finding some valuables, and it does, but what would be better is take the same scenario as before, but add the element of a mid-day, or late afternoon, thunderstorm that came with out warning, now you are adding the fact that many beach goers, caught unaware of the impending storm until the first cloudburst, are now all racing around to collect their belongings and trying to get out of the deluge, in this instance many people will find they have lost something valuable, and just a note on jewelry, anything found with engravings or inscriptions, you should always try to locate the original owner if possible, most times a reward will be offered, and you will make someone's day great. <br /><br />Another great time to go to beaches or around lakes is after a huge storm, where erosion has occurred, inland lakes only require heavy downpours or snowmelt to expose items previously buried too deep to find, but on the shore hurricanes, and nor'easters are best for exposing much older, deeper items missed in the past, sometimes including gold coins from ancient shipwrecks. If you live near a northern shore where large amounts of snow accumulates over the winter, the first spring snowmelt is also likely to erode enough beach to expose older buried treasures previously missed by other detectorists. <br /><br /><strong>3. History lessons! </strong><br /><br />Research your areas history. In my town we have a building that is host to housing a middle aged couple who also have the small luncheonette run by them on the ground floor, and engraved in the wooden columns is a date: built 1786, so while waiting for my sandwich I asked what this place was originally, and was told it was a stage-coach stop, so I proceeded to ask if they also owned the dirt parking area across the street, and they told me no one knows if anyone owns it, I told her why I asked, and she offered to allow me to not only search the public area across the street, but if I let her know when I am there I can search all the property around the building their family has owned for generations. Many area's local historical societies can provide guidance as to what area's were first developed and which roads or sites still exist today, and will offer locally written books about the settlement and development of the area, many of which will include a large old building which was a hostel/bordello in it's day, which means allot of traffic in one place for many people to lose their belongings, even something as seemingly insignificant as a metal button can bring in a high cash value if it is old but identifiable, people have found very old coins and jewelry as well, when I picked out a silver medal of "Mary" I didn't think much of it, it was all black and crusty, but later when going through my findings I picked it out and carefully cleaned it to reveal the rock she is standing on has the date 1839, and was found on the grounds of a building that was built in 1886, along with a few coins from the early 1800's, by the way the building was also a bordello during the first world war, it is located near naval docks! <br /><br /><strong>4. Tools of the trade! </strong><br /><br />Ok you found a good spot to hunt and got permission, you have a metal detector, what else do you need? Well for beach hunting as well as other types of hunting you will need to start with at least two zippered or Velcro pouches, like a belly bag, or you can use a builder's pocketed apron, one will be used to hold your good or questionable findings, the other you will use for obvious trash dug up, when beach hunting you will need a sand scoop, preferably with a wire mesh basket, wire mesh scoops tend to be lighter than perforated stainless steel baskets, you want the holes small enough to prevent a half dime from slipping through, if they are bigger you might miss out on small rings as well, for other types of treasure hunting you will need a sharp serrated digging tool, many of which look like a hunting knife, but if the blade is shaped like a trowel shovel it will be easier to dig through hard rocky, packed dirt, especially if there are dense tree or shrubbery roots to cut through to get down to your prize, in this case a long metal probe is useful for narrowing down where to dig, by inserting it around the area where you got your ping, you can tell whether it is buried deep or shallow, and with numerous probings you can determine the general shape of the object before digging it out of the dirt. Always wear leather gloves when digging to protect your hands from glass, sharp metal objects, or sharp stones. <br /><br />Happy Hunting To All! <br />Copyright© Daniel Chiapperino 2006 <br />http://www.dans-digital-discount-emporium.com/metaldetectors.html <br /><br />Article source: <em>http://www.articlecity.com/articles/men/article_262.shtml</em>Abd Rahman Md Desahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08100630451715180752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-898054726535021279.post-80486387651022987642008-08-27T11:06:00.000-07:002008-08-27T11:06:11.613-07:00Strange But True: Perbezaan Pemikiran & Pendapat<a href="http://worxout.blogspot.com/2008/07/perbezaan-pemikiran-pendapat.html#links">Strange But True: Perbezaan Pemikiran & Pendapat</a>Abd Rahman Md Desahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08100630451715180752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-898054726535021279.post-83927962323691995282008-08-27T01:01:00.000-07:002008-09-12T16:19:53.885-07:00Metal Detector Buying Guide<a href="http://www.informasi.arbdagang.com">Informasi Perniagaan Internet</a> - Dapatkan maklumat terkini dan percuma mengenai perniagaan internet di sini.<br />______________________________________________<br /><br />If you were one person who loves adventure in the form of treasure hunting, then a metal detector would be one of your necessary equipments. Be it out of sheer hobby or more on the professional level, you really would not perform well treasure hunting if you do not have a good metal detector to explore with. <br /><br />A metal detector is one sophisticated device that leads you toward gold mines. A good metal detector would sure find some small treasures buried in sands, in soils, and in other obscured places. A good, wholesome fun is sure to be delivered by this ingenious device. <br /><br />If you are planning to buy a metal detector to join the treasure-hunting fun, here are some tips to guide you so that youll get the best deal possible. Metal detectors can be pricey, so youve got to invest your money well. <br /><br /><strong>1. Determine where you are going to use the device at </strong><br /><br />There are certain features needed for certain places the device is going to be used for. If you intend to use it on the beach, the terrain wont be that rigorous. But you are going to need waterproof protection. If you wanted to use it more rigidly, then you should opt for the one that is especially made for all kinds of terrains. <br /><br /><strong>2. Estimate for how long you are going to use the detector </strong><br />The hours of operation a metal detector is determined by its model. Some are made to work for as long as 24 hours a day. Some cant perform as much. This is decided by the battery life of the device you are going to purchase. Also decide if you rather have extra batteries or if you prefer to get a charging kit. <br /><br /><strong>3. Know your budget for it </strong><br />As stated earlier, metal detectors could really be expensive. You can cut on cost if you cut on features. Try to look for the best bargain by enumerating the features you are going to need against the one that you can leave off. Also, be on the look out for brands that are big on features but small in price. Now thats a real good deal. <br /><br /><strong>4. Research the latest technologies </strong><br /><br />As with other electronic equipments, innovations seems to always happen overnight. If you are going to buy a metal detector today, try to know that technologies are currently employed. You do not want to be behind the technology line, right? <br /><br /><strong>5. Get some professional advice </strong><br />Get an advice from people who are the known authorities in the field of metal detectors. Although families and friends are good sources of information, they might not be as updated as the experts are. If you wanted to get the best device possible, get first-hand information from the experts themselves. <br /><br /><strong>6. Consider durability </strong><br />Youve got to buy a metal detector that could withstand normal wear and tear longer than its competitors. The longer the metal detector can serve you, the better your return on investment will be. <br /><br /><strong>7. Consider accuracy </strong><br /><br />Of course, the metal detector has to perform, and very well at that. It should deliver accurate detection. It should also carry out the task real well. It should spot treasures at once, and in a very precise manner. This is important because this is its main job out on the field. If it cannot detect small jewelry, as it should, then it is not worth buying, no matter how a good deal it seemed to be. <br /><br /><strong>8. Get the most adaptable one </strong><br /><br />This can be determined by the metal detectors ability to be upgraded, when possible. Get the one that has a lot of devices that can be attached or added to it to make it work better. Do not settle for the detector that is relatively stagnant. If the detectors features can be enhanced further, the better buy it is. <br /><br />These points could serve as your guide in buying a new metal detector. The more advantage points the particular type of detector you are eyeing for has, the better buy it is. Just make sure that you cash on the every feature you paid for. Buying a metal detector is a real decision. Buying that one is an even harder job. Follow these steps and you are sure to be guided accordingly. <br /><br />About The Author<br /><em>John Morris </em><br />For more great metal detector related articles and resources check out http://123metaldetectors.info <br /><br /> <br />Article Source: <em>http://www.articlecity.com/articles/men/article_262.shtml</em><br /><br /><a href="http://wholinkstome.com/" title="Click here to see who's linking to this site.">Who links to me?</a>Abd Rahman Md Desahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08100630451715180752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-898054726535021279.post-17342218111883317612008-08-22T01:05:00.000-07:002008-09-12T16:20:49.201-07:00Choosing The Right Metal Detector<a href="http://www.informasi.arbdagang.com">Informasi Perniagaan Internet</a> - Dapatkan maklumat terkini dan percuma mengenai perniagaan internet di sini.<br />_____________________________________________<br /><br />If this is your first metal detector purchase, consider getting some professional and expert advice to make sure that you have making the right choice. Metal detectors usually come with a complete control box containing the controls, circuitry, batteries, microprocessor, and the speaker. Metal detectors also include a search shaft that connects it to the coil and the control box. A search coil senses the metal and the stabilizer is responsible for keeping the unit steady when it is moved. <br /><br />Tesoro Metal Detector <br /><br />There are two types of Tesoro metal detectors. The Tesoro Golden Max is a metal detector that enables you to control what you want to find. It has features such as the four tone audio ID with an adjustable Notch Filter Discriminate, great sensitivity, and comes with a full depth design. The other type is the Tesoro DeLeon, a metal detector designed for the Target Identification Detector (TID). <br /><br />Whites Metal Detectors <br /><br />There are different types of Whites metal detectors to choose from such as: the DFX™, a great model that ultimately combines the turn-on-and-go simplicity with the sophisticated microprocessor technology. This contains an operational frequency of 3 kHz and 15 kHz which is amazingly recommendable. The XLT® Metal Detector, is a detector which provides high performance with the best flexibility. You can choose from five different programs that come with 20 Pr Options and 1o Basic Adjustments. The MXT has three separate operating modules which include jewelry/coin, relic, and gold processing. There is also the Prizm Series. This series includes all types of Prizm from II,III, IV and V. All of these contain a pinpoint mode that turns zero when in a target location. <br /><br />The Fisher Metal Detectors <br /><br />The 1266-X model is from Dr. Gerhard Fisher who obtained the first aircraft radio direction finders during the late 1920’s. This detector allows you to dig and search at a great depth. Although this is a good detector, it does not function clearly on saltwater surfaces. It comes with a manual and a 5 year warranty. <br /><br />Garrett Metal Detectors <br /><br />There are three models to choose from: The Garrett Super Scanner, a hand-held metal detector that allows you to detect from a medium-sized pistol down to the tiniest piece of jewelry. Its simplicity is unmatched. The Garett SuperWand Security, this is one of the most famous detectors. This detector has extreme accuracy in detecting metal objects and weapons with its uniform sensitivity that covers a 360° scan area. And lastly, the Garett Magna Scanner PD Walk Through, which has its own unique features in scanning the exact location like multi-coil detection and ultra-enhanced field pinpoints. The amazing feature is that it can tell the exact location of a metal object within the 33 distinct areas. <br /><br />Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors <br /><br />Tracker IV, this model includes a built-in Automatic Ground Tracker which is capable of maintaining ground balance. The good thing about this detector is not only is it offered at a very reasonable price, but also it is user friendly and can deliver an effective and efficient performance in different applications. <br /><br />These are the well-known detectors offered in the market. Choosing the right metal detectors will depend upon your range of use and study. <br /><br />About The Author<br />Simon Oliver has an interest in Metal Detecting.

One area of importance to be considered is the Pulse Induction (PI) that have an effect on overall performance.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /><br />Take a look at the article below for further clarification.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />First and foremost, you want to find a <span style="color:#663366;">metal detector</span> that is already known to be very good for finding nuggets of gold. A great many detectors are for multi use purposes, and some of these might not be the best choice for your intended purpose, in mineralized areas. You really need to steer clear of the old BFO and TR detectors since these now are the detectors of the past. In recent years, massive advances have been achieved with regards to the technology of metal detectors. Ideally, you want to purchase a good VLF or a PI detector to gain good results. On the market today there are at the very least a dozen or more great gold metal detectors and your budget will likely have a play in which one is best for you.</span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><div align="justify"><br />Certainly in mineralized areas strongly consider the pulse induction, PI detectors. Now, as regards accessories, there are many on the market that can aid you vastly as you search for your ideal and suitable gold detector. If you pick the right ones these can greatly increase your gold <span style="color:#663366;">metal detectors</span> overall performance. One must have, is a good set of high impedance headphones. If at all possible, what you want to try and do is to match the impedance of the headphones to your actual gold detector. You will find that some work great with some detectors, whilst on others, the results will not be so good.</div><div align="justify"><br />Another worthwhile accessory is an audio booster or signal enhancer which will help to increase faint target sounds, but be aware also that these can increase the background noise whilst you are out in the field conducting your gold metal detecting.</div><div align="justify"><br />Nearly all detector manufacturers produce a variety of search coils, i.e. the round device that you move just above the surface of the ground and/or terrain. These can vary in size and also in configuration (DD, DD pro, Mono and Salt). As a general rule of thumb, the smaller circumference loops work best for tighter areas and smaller gold which is close to the surface. Larger coils have the advantage of allowing you to cover more ground, although they have less sensitivity to smaller pieces of gold, the advantage with these though is the depth to which they can detect gold nuggets lower down or deeper, this does depend though as I said on the size of the coil and the target. Recent advances have made some detectors very advanced pieces of equipment in their own right and there are now some very good ones on the market, the MineLab 4500 springs to mind straightaway if you have the budget for this one.</div><div align="justify"><br />You will also need a decent digger, often called a prospecting pick, this will enhance your digging speed considerably. Consider first a lightweight pick as the less weight you need to cart around the more ground you can cover at the end of the day. A metal handle or a wooden handle makes little difference, just make sure if the latter that the handle is not going to snap on you at the worst possible time, unexpectantly as this can be rather infuriating and time consuming should it happen to you.</span></div><div align="justify"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Acquiring a super strong magnet is also very helpful in area that have a lot of iron trash. A strong good sized magnet will save you so much time when digging in an area where there is lots of iron rubbish.</span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">By </span><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mark_P_Andrews"><span style="font-family:arial;">Mark P Andrews</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>Mark P Andrews is the co-owner of GoldsGold.com</em> </span><a href="http://www.goldsgold.com/" target="_new"><span style="font-family:arial;">http://www.GoldsGold.com</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> - <em>Where you can find a great number of gold metal detectors available for sale at down to earth prices.
