Metal detector for beginners

Searching for coins, souvenirs and various types of treasures hidden underground is an activity that has many enthusiasts. Every person who wants to start their adventure with treasure hunting should equip themselves with a decent metal detector. What model will be ideal for beginners? We have some tips. We encourage you to read!

Which detector to choose for the beginning?

The choice of metal detectors is very large. There are devices with the logo of many manufacturers, with different parameters and in a wide price range. What issues should you pay attention to when looking for the perfect first detector? We have some tips!

What is our goal?

Question number one is about our goals, which is what we will be looking for. Depending on your preferences, we can focus on searching for coins, military items made of steel, jewelry, items made of non-ferrous metals, and many other valuables. If we want to focus on specific items or do not intend to waste time digging up worthless garbage, a device with a discrimination function will be an excellent choice. And matched to the artifacts we are looking for – objects.

Where will we look for valuables?

Another important issue is the areas of our search. Let’s analyze whether we want to focus on forests, meadows, beaches, and other places of this type, or whether we plan to walk with our device through a river, and ponds, and wander in the waters of seas and lakes.

Metal detector – price

Of course, the purchase of a detector is a cost and often it is not small money. It is good to determine at the outset how much we want and can pay for the device. However, it should be remembered that devices from the lowest shelf, for about PLN 150-200, may not work well and disappoint us or even discourage us from the hobby. The optimal solution for beginners is to buy a mid-range device for about PLN 1000-2500.

Metal detector – working time

The longer the expeditions, the more capacity the device should have. Keep in mind, however, that the weight of the device increases with the capacity of the battery. For beginners, heavy models may not be a very comfortable solution.

Metal detector – technology

For beginners, detectors that are easy to use and have basic functions will work best. Professional equipment is worth buying when you gain experience.
