The Best Metal Detectors For Gold - 

Choosing the best metal detector for gold is not an easy task and for beginners it is almost impossible thing to do. On the market there are lots of offers and if you try to gain some insight on these devices, you will find yourself lost in the variety of models and prices.

Besides, treasure hunting for gold can be very different. Someone is looking for it on the beach and someone is looking for gold nuggets. Both these targets require using different metal detectors.


Rob Myers’s  Metal Detector Planet

In this blog, I share with you everything I know about metal detectors.

I’m an industrial engineer. So I have a technical background. I’m familiar with electromagnetic fields, induced currents, conductivity… which detectors and pin pointers use to find buried metal objects.

I’ll try to avoid the use of technical terms. This doesn’t mean the users with more experience won’t benefit from this blog.

There are many articles about hunting in trashy areas that beginners can’t deal with because they don’t have advanced equipment and they don’t have enough knowledge.

I also have some pro tips to help you hunt in plowed fields that will save a ton of time.
