Gold detecting can be one of the most rewarding and relaxing experinces you will ever have in your life. Beware though once you find that first gold nugget you may become addicted and gold detecting will be in your blood for life.

The first decision you need to make is which gold detector to purchase. They range in price from under one hundred dollars to over five thousand dollars for a top the the range machine. Make sure before you purchase a gold detector do plenty of research to find a gold detector that is going to be suitable for you. If you are just starting out gold detecting it is better to purchase a basic machine with not to many settings.

The gold detector is basically made up of three components. The first and most important is the control box. The control box is what gives you the signal when you go over a target. The second is the component of the gold detector is the coil. If you are looking for small nuggets close to the surface you will use a small coil. If you are looking for larger nuggets deep down you will use a large coil. There are two types of coil on the market you can purchase. They are a monoloop coil and a double d coil. The third compnent of a metal detector is the power supply or battery box. This may not seem important but if your control box isn’t getting full power from the batteries it won’t work to it’s maximum potential.

Once you have purchased your machine don’t just jump in the car on and go off gold detecting staight away. Spend some time learning about your new gold detector and all it’s functions. Having your machine on the correct settings for the type of ground you are detecting will make the difference between finding gold and not finding gold.
