Hey everybody! "How To Find Gold" was one of my top searches when I first got a Metal Detector. I still consider myself a beginner in the hobby of Metal Detecting (2-3 years) There is always so much to learn during the Treasure Hunting experience. I try to share some of the tips that helped me find my first gold, plus discover the true possibility of what could be under the dirt...
It doesn't matter what metal detector is used... gold can read similar to aluminum foil on just about all metal detectors, if you are discriminating out aluminum foil or pull tabs there is no doubt you are missing some gold.. but you are also saving yourself from digging a lot of trash! Is it worth it?
For me... that highly depends on how I am feeling that day and where I am hunting.
There are advanced users out there that have been using metal detectors for years and years.. I myself am just getting into the hunt recently around 2019. I always hear that "location" is the most important part.. which I truly believe! However.. even on the best beach in the world.. if you want all the gold the beach has to offer.. you've got to be willing to keep an open mind!
I Metal Detect mostly Parks and Beaches... Coins are fun to find and add up to a nice total eventually.. however for me the real excitement comes when you see that shimmer of gold in the sand. There's something about digging up a bunch of junk and then finally when you least expect it... BAM! Out comes some shiny GOLD from the dirt or sand to pay you back for all that junk you have been digging up.
Have any other tips?
