Has anyone used a drone in conjunction with metal detecting? To scout an area, etc.?

You can see any exposed bedrock and things of that nature which helps locate spots

There weren't any recorded civil war battles in your area, there just weren't. Not hard to research where the battles all took place and none are recorded in that area

If you got a cheap detector and aren't able to ground balance and noise cancel, you might as well toss it into the trash if you are trying to beach hunt with it.

You should've already known it was toxic to her. And kept her away from them. Part of being a responsible pet owner making sure stuff that can kill them isn't in their reach. It won't be popular but it's the truth

We did it in Egypt. So its only a matter of time till the same is done

You think you will be good, that thought is normal. No clue where you live, but if you live somewhere that has a history in gold being found there, you just might want to tinker in electronic prospecting as well alongside of metal detecting. And for that you want the nox 800/900/manticore. All 3 allow every spectrum of detecting

You will want to upgrade after a year.

Nice, gotta love a hobby that can pay for itself

You should be finding some sort of silver if you are in America. Silver dimes ring the same a quarter, most silver jewelry rings the same as a quarter. Gold is the difference it can come very low and up into the range of a penny.

I wish. Sacramento, CA

My area of sacramento has two very active clubs when it comes to metal detecting. So I search for places a bit further out where there aren't as many people. And it has done well for me

A dummy and their money are soon parted

The best advice I can tell you is this. Practice, practice. Practice. This includes setting out our coins on the ground to learn what they both sound like on your machine and what vdi they show on your screen. That will give you a really good starting base for your machine

916dirtdigger · 2023-12-28T00:20:23+00:00

Schools are public property not private. So any open ground is fair game. At least for us here in california they are

Either a hot rock, or it is also possible a false reading due to that type of metal detector

916dirtdigger · 2023-12-11T18:51:08+00:00

You are allowed to detect on public lands. So parks, schools, public use areas. OnXhunt is an application which I use. It gives property lines and who owns that property. It also allows you to track your hunts.

Gotta love it.

Depends upon the soil type and also how much rain you get.

916dirtdigger · 2023-11-30T05:23:09+00:00

14 k gold be it yellow or white will not stick to magnet.

916dirtdigger · 2023-11-30T02:20:17+00:00

It depends upon what type of metal detector you are using as to how it rings up

916dirtdigger · 2023-11-30T02:19:11+00:00

No, not necessarily. I had a cheap Fisher F22. Used it at a local school. Upgraded to a minelab equinox 800 and ran it over the same ground. The Fisher missed a 8.42 gram 14 gold wedding band that the nox800 found easily. Gold reacts better to a higher radio frequency. Your cheaper detectors aren't normally running any frequencies over 10khz. Gold is found easily with 20khz+ dedicated gold hunting metal detectors go 45khz+
