Recently my brothers from “The Ring Finders New Jersey” had the opportunity to search the property of a house built in 1706. The property is 15 acres. We only searched a small section of the property. The owner said we can come back as often as we want.

We found several older pennies & one silver Canadian dime. Several old items were found, some of them include old buttons, horse shoes, pad locks, nails, shoe buckles, belt buckles, a large piece of a cap gun, and lots of iron objects.

We will be back as a group. We have the location of several old dumps on the property. There are so many signals that we had to switch to small coils on our detectors. Plenty of detecting to be done. Who knows what lies beneath the ground. Stay tuned!!

We search more than beaches. I Love my hobby!

So You Got A New Metal Detector, Where do I Start?

So you got a new metal detector to treasure hunt. Where do you start?

Your own backyard. Who knows what is buried on your property? It is a great opportunity to learn how to use your new detector. Learn how to properly dig holes that won’t kill the grass.

Many detectorists bury items so they can learn how their detectors respond to each item. These items are good to start with in your buried training zone:

A penny (new & older than 1982)
A nickel
A dime (newer & silver – before 1965)
A quarter (newer & silver – before 1965)
A half dollar (newer & silver – before 1965)
A silver ring
A gold ring

Practice in this test area many times. Learn the sounds and the numbers your detector is displaying. Every time you get a new detector head to your practice area again.

Next, ask friends & family if you can detect their properties. Head to the beach. Learn the rules & laws in your area.

Research for areas of activity long ago. Are there any rumors or legends of lost treasure? More research. Good Luck and have fun with your new hobby.

So the unofficial end of summer is upon us. That means closing pools & yard cleanups.

Many rings are lost this time of year. Working with cold water, your hands & fingers shrink and rings slip off. I get a lot of calls this time of year. Don’t waste your time & money buying a metal detector that you will use once. It takes years of using a detector to learn how to use it and what it is telling you.

Give me a call instead. I have 30 years of experience in using metal detectors.
