Places to metal detect
Always prepare a plan
Before going out to detect metal, prepare a plan of action of where you plan to go and for how long you plan to metal detect. Another crucial thing, always make sure that the battery last that much and you have anywhere from 1 to 4 hours left.
Some common places to metal detect
- the beach
- fields
- the gardens
- woods
- footpaths
I had a lot of success going on the beach, because there are a lot of people going in and out.
If you live in the UK, I suggest going out to Brighton beach. is really relaxing, the beach is large enough that you can spend hours there and there are other fine places along.
I’ll try to indicate from experience which could be some of the great attempts of finding coins. For me, some of the best areas to look when it comes to coins findings are the beach and the woods.
But that often comes with 2 aspects in my mind:
- how many people are going thru there every day?
- is it hard to reach there?
Depending on how simple it is going to be to get there and on how many people are usually there then I know for sure if it’s a great area to metal detect.
For the special treasures, the ones are hidden underground from a long time ago I suggest doing research. Look at your library and online in history books and look for hints where actions took place, there was a market and from which directions people came into that area. There’s a big chance that you’ll find hidden treasures.
And the best thing you can do is that you can start from today. You can just start with your own town, find the history and start looking where houses have been. What happened there is crucial, if it was a highly traded route then you know you’re going for a good hunt.
My favorite place is the beach, going out, metal detecting while hearing the waves… it’s something hard to describe. It’s both relaxing and fun at the same time, especially after a hard week at the job, it’s the perfect distraction from all that.
