The best metal detectors on the market for professionals and amateurs

Did you know that if you find a treasure on public property, you are entitled to receive 50 percent of its value? A metal detector is what you need to do it

Using a metal detector on the beach or in the field can become a pleasant hobby that leads us to find coins, jewelry and even treasures hidden for a long time. A reward in the form of gold, silver or any other precious material that will make us feel like Indiana Jones himself.



How to choose a metal detector and what aspects should you take into account before buying one?
Before diving headfirst into an offer on metal detectors, we must consider the following aspects:

• 1. The type of coil : there are low or high frequency, pulses, etc. This aspect marks the type of detector we are in front of and the use for which it is focused. In the section 'What is a metal detector for and how does it work?' we explain each one in detail.
• 2. The size of the coil : the larger it is, the more ground we will cover per pass and with greater precision we will be able to locate small objects.
• 3. What is our level ? Frequency bump oscillator detectors and low frequency detectors are recommended for beginners . Instead, pulse and high frequency metal finders are suitable for advanced users and professionals .
• 4. On land and / or in water : the best metal detectors to hunt for treasure underwater are pulse detectors . We must ensure that all its components are waterproof if we are going to use ours in a river or in the sea.
• 5. Battery capacity : the larger it is, the longer we can use the device. Of course, this aspect greatly affects the price of the metal detector. A good option is to choose a model with reduced autonomy but whose battery is interchangeable and always carry a spare.
• 6. The length of the stem : the ideal is that the stem is extensible so that it adapts to our height. It must also be foldable to be able to transport it comfortably while we are not using it.
• 7. Display - Based on reviews on metal detectors reviewed here, this is a vital element. For this reason, we recommend choosing a coin and gold finder with an LED display that serves to accurately indicate the position of the object .
• 8. Loudspeaker and headphones : a loudspeaker with light tones will help us to locate the metallic object at first. Of course, we must make sure that the underground metal detector has a universal headphone jack so that we can use any model we have at home instead of buying a specific one.
• 9. Ergonomic design : the stem must join the forearm with the coil plate as an extension of the hand . Only then will we have perfect mobility.
• 10. Extras : a metal detector with night vision screen, with detection indicator and adjustable depth will allow us to find valuable objects more comfortably. If you have a volume detector, we will also know the size of the treasure found to identify it quickly.

What is a metal detector and what can I find with it?

Metal detectors are manual and portable electronic devices that, thanks to the emission of electromagnetic pulses , are capable of detecting the presence of metal objects buried underground or underwater . Traditionally, they have been used in mines and in archaeological excavations, although many people have joined the 'hobby detection' craze and search for hidden treasures on beaches and similar places.

With a metal detector it is possible, for example, to search for coins, rings, earrings or any piece of silver, gold or similar precious metal jewelry lost in the sand or on the ground. They are even used to find gold nuggets in rivers, although for this it must be a waterproof metal digger.

What is a metal detector for and how does it work?

A powerful metal detector will allow us to find any metallic object located at a certain depth in the ground. This will depend on its greater or lesser sensitivity . Moreover, the best metal finders of the moment are able to discriminate between non-interesting ferrous elements (a nail, a screw ...) and others that are (gold, silver, copper, etc.). The best metal prospectors of the moment discriminate the elements that do not interest us from those that really do, such as gold, silver or copper For this, the metal finder has a plate in its lower part and inside which a piston coil is housed . This, when powered by a battery, emits an electromagnetic field to the ground in order to 'energize' the hidden metal objects. In doing so, these objects start to emit their own electromagnetic field . This is detected by the standard search coil, which is responsible for alerting the user through an acoustic or visual signal. We can distinguish the following types of metal detectors :

• 1. Frequency Bump Oscillator (BFO) Metal Detectors : These are the cheapest and most basic metal finders . They are very easy to use, but they do not discriminate between types of metal.
• 2. Pulse Induction (PI) Metal Detectors: These are the recommended metal detectors for fresh and salt water . They offer various sensitivity settings and are not altered by ground mineralization.
• 3. Low Frequency Metal Detectors (VLFs) : The best value for money metal finders . They are cheap and discriminate between ferrous and non-ferrous objects, although they are adversely affected by the mineralization of the ground.
• 4 . High Frequency (HF) Metal Detectors - These are modern, intelligent and highly sophisticated treasure hunters . They are capable of detecting even minute metal particles, which is why they are commonly used in the search for gold in rivers and mines.
• 5. Pinpointer metal detectors : these are short-range devices complementary to the main detector . They serve to accurately locate a very small object when we are unable to do so with the search engine.

Where can the metal detector be used in Spain?

It depends on the case. In Spain there is no national legislation that specifically regulates the use of metal detectors, so this issue is left to the autonomous communities . For example, in Andalusia its use is totally prohibited . We will have to consult the current regulations in our place of residence to clear up doubts. In any case, it is prohibited to use metal detectors without obtaining the relevant permits in the following places :

1. Mineral and archaeological surveys .
2. Fenced farms of public or private property although their doors are open.
3. Nature reserves, places of historical interest, archaeological areas and assets of cultural interest .

That said, the use of metal detectors in our country is relegated to beaches, land belonging to farms that we own or natural outdoor areas that are not fenced . But can they give us a metal detector fine ? Yes, and quite important if we use it in any of the places mentioned above or if the authorities understand that we have attacked or tried to loot objects that can be considered historical heritage. For example, in Andalusia, fines of up to 120,000 euros have been imposed on people who have found and tried to steal an object of value found with a device of this type.

What do I do if I find a hidden treasure?

Finding a treasure is the dream of any metal detector user. Specifically, they can only be considered as such "unknown or hidden deposits of jewelry, money or precious objects without legitimate belonging" ( Article 352 of the Civil Code ). According to article 351 of the Civil Code , the hidden treasure is the property of the owner of the land on which it is located . If it does not appear in a private property but in a public one, it will be the State that is considered as the legitimate owner . However, its discoverer is entitled to receive 50% of its value . However, if the treasure found was of interest in an artistic or scientific field , the State will carry out an appraisal and will automatically acquire it . Of that price, he will pay 25% to its discoverer and another 25% to the owner of the farm where it was found.

Metal detector rental. It's possible? Where?

Renting a highly sensitive professional metal detector to search for gold and other precious metals is not the most common, but it is possible. Many stores specializing in the sale of this type of device offer the possibility of using them for one or several days for a reasonable price . For example, in the surroundings of Madrid and next to many beaches in the Valencian Community and Barcelona it is possible to find premises and positions specifically dedicated to this task. If we find a treasure in a public property, the State will be considered the rightful owner and the discoverer will receive 50% of its value Without a doubt, this is a very interesting option for those who want to use one of the best possible high-precision metal detectors for a short period of time to cover a terrain where they suspect that there may be a treasure without having to make a large investment in your purchase.

Useful accessory for your metal detectors

Even the best metal detector requires a series of accessories so that we can get the most out of it:

• 1. Carrying bag : to be able to carry the search engine anywhere comfortably.
• 2. Earphones or headphones : allows us to eliminate external noises to listen to the sounds emitted by the targets located deeper.
• 3. Shovel : with it we can easily dig into the ground.
• 4. Location probe : it will allow us to obtain a more precise location of the object.
• 5. Finding bag : here we can put the valuable and delicate objects that we find with the guarantee that they will not deteriorate during transport.

What is and how does the all metal mode and the disc mode work on metal detectors?
Most likely, a cheap metal detector will only have 'all metal' mode. However, a more advanced one will also include a 'disco' mode. In this they differ:

1. All metal mode : they emit an electromagnetic field capable of detecting all types of metals, that is, without any discrimination.
2. Disc mode : not all metals are 'energized' in the same way after receiving the electromagnetic pulse from the metal detector. Models equipped with this system discriminate between valuable metals (silver, gold, platinum, titanium, copper ...) and others with no apparent value (iron, zinc, steel ...). Recommendations for better use in metal detectors After buying a gold and metal detector in general, we must follow these tips to use it correctly:

• 1. Place the coil plate between 3 and 5 cm from the ground .
• 2. If we do not have a submersible metal detector with a waterproof coil, never put it in water.
• 3. On the other hand, if it is submersible, we only have to introduce the coil plate and the extendable stem without reaching the LED screen.
• 4. We must be very careful not to hit the coil as it is the most delicate part of the device.

Metal detectors for children

Metal detectors for children are identical devices to those designed for adults but have a number of special features to better suit them. For example, their size is smaller and they are much lighter . Its detection functions are also less varied since they are focused on a purely recreational use . However, they have a robust construction to withstand the hustle and bustle that they will be subjected to by the little ones.
