Metal detecting, treasure hunting, and relic seeking can be fun and physically engaging hobbies, not to mention monetarily rewarding. Today there is plenty of equipment on the market that is ready to go searching right out of the box - and these machines usually do a decent job of finding stuff. But if you've noticed yourself getting more excited with each find and trying desperately to understand why your detector struggles in some areas and rewards you in others, then "How Metal Detectors Work" is the place for you.
We have created an online haven from our love of the metal detecting hobby. We're here for those of you who feel a little out of touch with the technology of your detector, those who can't make heads or tails of manuals, and those dedicated relic seekers who have a thirst for both treasure and knowledge.
This website is home to articles and publications, reviews and interviews, field test reports and detecting locations. We've also provided a majority of instructional manuals for the most popular metal detectors, as well as links to the best metal detecting websites on the internet.
If we've done our job, you will leave this website with a little more appreciation for the technology of your machine and a lot less confusion on how it works. We encourage you to submit news and links, and check back for frequent updates.
Good luck, Treasure Hunters!
