how metal detectors for treasure hunting work?
Those one used for detecting gold and silver treasures hidden underground. How it differentiates from iron metal?
admin answers:
The better metal detectors use better electronics and better wound coils. The null state, (no metal) is quieter and the ability to react to the magnetic susceptability of the individual material (inherent property) can be set to give a different tone. Iron is much more susceptable. (Takes less of a field to saturate the item.)
Susan asks…
Can you bring a metal detector for treasure hunting in your carry on bag for a plane trip?
admin answers:
I could not find a specific carry-on restriction on metal detectors for treasure hunting; however, since there is a restriction for golf clubs and hockey sticks, I am assuming a person would not be allowed to include a metal detector in their carry-on luggage. Anyone traveling is advised to contact the airline they are flying on to determine what may or may not be allowed as carry on.

Whites Electronics sells some of the best metal detectors on the market today, but even they don’t advertise 40 feet of range. You may be able to detect metal at this range with something, but the amount of metal would have to be huge. Like a 48 inch diameter steel pipe or something like that.

There was an old guy in my neighborhood that would cover parks, playgrounds, sports fields and concert arenas. I was always amazed at what he came up with, particularly after things like concerts where people are hanging out on the grass fields for hours, often not exactly sober. Watches, money clips, rings, necklaces, car keys in addition to coinage. He was an honest guy and if it was something nice like a diamond ring he’d put an ad in the local paper and he did return more than one item to it’s owner that way. Here’s a guide for selecting a detector:
