- Metal Detecting: A Complete Guide for Beginners
Ever since the great Gold Rush of the 1800s, people have been fascinated with the idea of finding hidden treasures underground. In fact, it has caught on so widely that metal detecting is now considered a legitimate hobby. Those who practice it are known as metal detectorists. Metal detection is not only practiced as a hobby. In fact, it has been proven to be highly useful in several other areas such as archeology, forensic police investigations, and even military purposes. - Deerfield Detectors Authorized dealer for Whites, Garrett, Fisher, Detector Pro, Teknetics, Sunray, Metal Detectors and Accessories

- Hollands Brook Metal Detectors Metal detecting is an addiction. I’ve learned first hand that once you become emersed in the hobby, there’s no looking back.

You often find yourself scouring the various metal detecting forums like FMDF, Findmall and Treasurenet at 2 in the morning drooling over photos of other’s finds.

- Italia Metal Detector Who we are? The website Italy Metal Detector was created with the idea of uniting novice and expert in the hobby world's most beautiful: the metal detecting. The writer in this portal loves this hobby and make it available to all their field experiences. Actually we are a group of friends who love the outdoors in contact with nature immersed in history. Using metal detectors is legal? Yes, in Italy, the sale and use of the metal detector is completely legal. However, there are areas subject to restrictions where you can not use this device. We're talking about all those areas that are covered by archaeological constraints. Our country, Italy, is rich in history, so before you start looking in a specific area must always make sure that this area has been subject to archaeological constraints. That's not all, you must also avoid all those areas subjected to another type of constraint: the landscape. There are some places, such as parks or nature reserves, which are so beautiful that the region or the state has decided to protect. Therefore in these places it will never be able to make any excavation activities. Use metal detectors in these areas becomes absolutely useless. These two types of constraints have to keep in mind, always. In the category dedicated to Italian law of our site you can find everything explained in a much more clear and detailed. In addition to pay close attention to respect for the law it is necessary that those who want to use the metal detector is aware of the possible risks that may be encountered during searches. In some areas it is quite easy to find when searching for unexploded ordnance or other dangerous objects from the period of the First or the Second World War. For these objects we created the articles that indicate in great detail everything that you should and should not do if you were to find a dangerous object. These articles you will find them in the section on Tips. Each article in this website is commentable. With your comment you give a valuable contribution that will help the whole community. Consider your valuable experiences and we would like you to share it with all of us. We always try new authors so if you love our hobby and would like to write for our website please contact us by sending an email from the Contact page. If you prefer to open a debate or discuss with us and with our friends on social networks you are always with the name of Italian Metal Detector.

- Metal Detecting Maine! People often wonder why there is such a buzz about metal detecting and why more and more people take to the hobby each year. There is no real answer, but hopefully through this site and forum we can help others better understand the concept. Most detectorists simply enjoy finding a piece of history left behind to disintegrate inthe ground. Imagine holding a button torn from a soldier’s uniform in the 1790s or a belt buckle from the same era, or even holding between your fingers a 1724 King George the 1st Half Penny. It actually makes you think about who worked the fields on which you currently stand with your detector, and all the more anxious to see if you can dig something up and actually hold it in your hands... it's never too late to give it a try.

- Stout Standards I have been involved in the treasure hunting/metal detecting pastime for over 30 years now, and have authored three books, written hundreds of articles, and worked in the industry itself. As a result I receive lots of emails and letters from detectorists like you, asking me for advice, asking what I think of a particular metal detector, inviting me to visit your town or city to hunt, or to speak at your club meeting. On the whole I try to respond positively, but more often than not I cannot offer the information you seek, nor can I afford the travel costs involved. Why? Because I too am just a hobbyist, and no more an expert than you.

Our next club meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Hope to see you there!
A number of our club members are "Snowbirds" from many states. Whether on extended vacations or for the winter. They come to the great southwest to enjoy the weather and seek that beautiful yellow metal known as Gold. Our club has several gold bearing claims where they pursue their goals. Most of are members own at least one metal detector. Others in our club put their trust into proven gold extraction equipment such as dry washers and re-circulating sluices. The club conducts regular monthly outings where you can see and use a variety of prospecting equipment first hand at a location known to produce gold.
The GPAA was founded in 1968 by George "Buzzard" Massie and a few other fellow prospectors for the purpose of preserving the heritage of prospecting in North America. They also by forming this organization were able thru membership fees to acquire claims all over the U.S. for their members to camp, fish and of course prospect for gold.
They are also helping to keep our public lands public, since there are a few organizations that petition the government constantly to close lands all over the U.S. to all forms of outdoor recreation. The Gold fever T.V. programs were started in 1991 and have gotten very popular in the last few years.
The club tries to have at least 2 Common Prospecting Trips / Outings a year. The closest property is Buchanan Georgia but we sometimes go to the Carolina Emerald Mine in North Carolina for gem digging and gold prospecting. When the Gold show is in Georgia or the Carolina's we have a boot to promote our chapter.
Metal detecting is an addiction. To better serve your addiction, we’ve compiled a list of resources from all over the web – everything from State Laws on detecting to the technology behind metal detectors.
In existence since 1974, our club's primary objective is the promotion of treasure hunting, while keeping proper conservation measures in mind, and teaching correct treasure hunting techniques. Our club's motto is "WE LEAVE IT CLEANER THAN WE FOUND IT."

As of now I pretty much consider myself a part-time treasure hunter. I hope that through this website I might be able to offer you a tip or two learned over the years, but promise nothing earth shattering. Most of whatever success I've had occurred because I entered into the pastime at an ideal time, and because I spent an inordinate amount of time researching sites. Add to that a lot of in-the-field trial and error, and a helluva lot of luck!
You will not find a lot of technical babble here, and you may call a lot of what I have to say, basic. That's fine. That's me. I still believe that research is the most important part of this pastime!
All meetings include door prize drawings and a pot luck lunch. Door prizes include items donated by members, items received from GPAA headquarters, bags of gold concentrates and silver coins/rounds. All member are encouraged to bring a dish to pass for our pot luck lunch.
During the spring/summer/fall months (April or May thru September or October) we have outdoor activities in various locations to do metal detecting, gold prospecting, and/or rock hounding along with our regular meeting activities.
Membership in our club is FREE and all ages are welcome to join (you do NOT have to be a member of GPAA to join our club). Our members are more than happy to teach and instruct you in various equipment of our hobby and techniques to help make your outdoor experience enjoyable.
Along with the meetings, members also enjoy a monthly newsletter filled with stories, facts and articles of interest.
