Metal Detecting as a Hobby
By Tony Lee
When someone hears the term "metal detector", the first thing that comes to mind is airport security systems. Metal detection devices offer a wide range of uses. If you have ever entered a court house or sports stadium, you most likely had to pass through a metal detection device. Have you ever gone to the beach and had a great day, only later to find out you lost a watch or ring? Sure, you looked for hours and found nothing. The odds are, someone either picked it up, or it got buried in countless grains of sand. With the use of a simple and somewhat inexpensive device, you can save yourself a lot of grief and money. Metal Detection can also be a hobby, and a very rewarding one at that. In fact for the past few decades this hobby has grown in popularity. Many folks have chosen Metal Detection and developed it into a skill. They realized that this device could detect precious metals that could later be sold for profit. Even now, as gold prices rise to record dollar highs, many are turning to gold dealers to sell their gold items. Tooth fillings, old watches, earrings and rings are being sold just to make ends meet in a bad economy. So just what is a Metal detector and how does it work?
Metal detectors use electromagnetism to detect metal objects. Through the use of a high-powered coil of metal, we call the transmitter, connected to a battery, generates a magnetic field. As the electromagnetic field penetrates the ground, it charges any metallic object with magnetism, sending a signal back to the receiving portion of the coil, identifying the metal object. Metal detectors can vary greatly in price. A simple beginner model can cost anywhere from $50 to $100. As the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for", and that can be said with metal detectors as well. |
