There are no empty voids inside the housing, thereby eliminating the possibility of water intrusion to the coil, making them easy to clean. Successful detection and separation of metal will protect your processing equipment from damage, which saves your organization money and down time. Pulse Induction Technology (PI) – (Allows hunting in salt water or in any type of soil, including black sand). Vaquero detector with 3-piece shaft and 9″ x 8″ Monolithic Search Coil in original box. With metal detector these costs are fairly low and with traditional X-ray systems they could be significant.

These machines will punch through ground minerals like salt and iron and will report on all metal objects without the ability to discriminate. Pulse induction (PI) is a technology used in specialty machines for areas of high mineralization – i.e., salt water beaches and gold country.

You never know what you’ll come across when you’re metal detecting and that’s part of the fun. It might sound obvious but metal is what you’ll find with a metal detector. Beaches are great places for metal detecting because beaches are regularly and actively used by the public.

If you want to buy only one machine, and intend to hunt on land and dry sands, choose multi-frequency as it will have a better discrimination range. This may sound like a daft question to some, but I’ve found that proper kit makes metal detecting a more pleasant experience, but there’s no uniform, feel free to wear a mankini if you prefer.

First, ground conditions and mineralization play a huge role in which size coil to use. Another thing to consider is the stock coil that comes with your detector. Multi-frequency (MF) detectors are typically machines that go for over $1,000 and most commonly found in the high-end Minelab detectors.

Don’t worry if you can’t afford a high-end Minelab right away; get an intro model and go find some stuff. Most new hobbyists tend to spend $150-$300 on their first detector. Anything below that isn’t really considered a detector – it’s considered a toy. What makes one detector better than another (like cars) is the additional features and enhancements.

Diamonds – Gold – Silver – Copper – Platinum – Iron – Spaces – Caves. For example, you can set it to ignore Iron and Steel but to recognise Silver and Gold. The graphite screen is connected to the ground TX, which makes it possible to use this sensor with both Quasar and Fortune. Fortune Pro 2 is a continuation of Fortune Pro, now with the ability to work with 2 frequency sensors.

The term ‘archaeological object’ is defined in the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2004 and has a broad meaning in terms of type and age of objects. It is normal practice to pay rewards to finders of archaeological objects discovered in legitimate circumstances and reported to the National Museum of Ireland. The information and regulatory provisions outlined here do not in any way affect those who may find archaeological objects by chance – for example in the course of farming activity – provided the find is reported in accordance with the advice in Paragraph 6 above.

Optimized detector mechanics, true Variable Frequency technology, progressive electronics and a better, faster Auto-Learn brings considerable performance gains over prior generation IQ3+ST search heads. We offer the highest levels of service in the industry but we also want to offer you the best deals too, so we will match the price of any genuine UK Metal Detector retailer. Events are exciting; a whole new realm of metal detecting  different then that same old park you’ve been hitting for the last 25 years. You don’t need a licence to use a metal detector in the UK, but there are laws about their use. Metal detecting can be a fun, relaxing activity with very rewarding results.

Features include audible and visual indication of detection, 19cm shielded concentric waterproof search coil which enables you to search in shallow water, a built in pinpoint function to help you zero in on your find more easily, audio and visual alert and a 3.5mm earphone socket. If you need any advice on metal detecting or how to choose the best metal detector metaldetectorshub for you or your children just give us a call on 0121 359 2379 or email us. Anyone using a metal detector in contravention of the above restrictions and who, following detection of an object, digs to retrieve an archaeological object without an excavation licence, may be guilty of an additional offence under the terms of the National Monuments Acts.
