A Beginners Guide to Detecting /Club info
Since the late 1960's, due to the advent of modern electronic detecting equipment, the hobby of metal detecting has been available to many people. The opportunity to find objects of intrinsic and financial value, which may date back hundred s or maybe thousands of years, is very appealing.
Metal detecting does not have to be an expensive hobby. Many machines are available for less than a £100.00 and as your interest grows, then more sophisticated machines are available to take you through your 'career' in detecting.
Listed below are the most common questions asked by beginners to the hobby.
Buying a Machine
Your first machine should be what is sometimes described as a 'switch-on-and-go' machine (whether motion or non-motion). In other words a machine that can be understood and in operation within minutes of the buyer unpacking it. Usually this means that the machine has two primary controls only, sensitivity and discrimination (both described later on). Some machines have sensitivity and beach and inland controls, no matter; what is important is the ease of understanding of the machine and what it can do. Do not assume that a simple machine is necessarily a cheap or basic machine. Many good quality machines used by experienced detectors are switch-on-and-go machines, and find as much as machines with more complex functions.
How complex is a metal detector to operate.
The answer to this is on a sliding scale, beginner's machines are designed to be easy to operate and understand and will have you detecting within a few minute. However as you develop confidence and knowledge you may wish to move beyond the limitations of these machines, and as your understanding of the principles behind the hobby improves you will want to have a machine which you can adjust to the settings you require. As with many things in life it is down to the nature of the individual and how they like to learn. Some require the ability to move up through machines as their knowledge improves, some wish to start with a complex machine and then learn over a period of time all its functions. Also it is important to remember where your are detecting, as manufacturers offer different types of machine for specialist beach detection (particularly if you wish to specialize in detecting by or in sea water) as opposed to land detection or land/beach machines. The choice is yours, however please be assured that we will endeavor to guide you to the type of machine which is right for you.
Metal detectors - how they work.
We won't bore you with the general principles behind a metal detectors method of locating metallic objects (no physics lesson needed here!), but an understanding of the different systems available is important.
Metal detectors are split into two basis types: motion and non-motion machines.
