Free Metal Detecting Tips

Sweep Techniques Using the Minelab Sovereign
Author: Internet Tip
Every time I see a post by a former Minelab user stating they didn't get more than 4 or 5 inches in depth, I try to figure out how this can happen. The only things I can come up with are, the sweep speed, and sweep of the coil itself. I believe first of all the rod length is the most important. Some manuals tell you to make the rod length so that your arm will hang straight down without bending your elbow, while this is definitely more comfortable, I thinks its a major mistake. If your arm is hanging straight down with the coil level in front of you there is no way to make that coil be level with the ground in a complete arc, unless your sweep is contained to a few feet directly in front of your toes. It is imperative that the coil on the Sovereign (or any detector) remains at a constant 90-degree angle to the ground while remaining as close to the ground as possible. If you think about it, having the arm hanging straight in front of you will tend to make you swing the coil in an arc back and forth, making your only full depth capability's directly in front of you. The Sov hates that point where the coil is lifted from the ground and often false signals any time the coil is lifted from the ground. If you adjust the length so the coil is flat to the ground about 1-2 feet in front of you, this will allow a better swing arc, while keeping the coil flat as you bring it closer to you on each side. Any one who uses a Sov is aware of the slow sweep required for the Sov to achieve maximum depth, but perhaps that's the reason for them not getting the depth. Some can just not swing slow, or cannot adjust to it. I know I get impatient and want to cover more ground, I just have to force myself to slow down. The one thing you should do if you are swinging faster than you should be is to at least take the time to investigate any threshold nulls while doing it. The sov will null on a good target if the sweep speed is to fast. So if you at least slow down around those nulls, you may be able to get the sov to respond to the target. This also will enable you to pick up some good targets near trash. This is the reason I like to keep the sensitivity down far enough to always have a threshold sound. I know others turn it up as high as they can with out falsing, but I like to keep it at the point where the threshold is still there at most times. I know if your in a really iron infested area that this is almost impossible, but in most cases 12 o'clock on the sensitivity will still give you a pretty steady threshold sound. Keep the threshold at a point where it is just barely audible, and investigate any changes either higher or lower, with a very very slow sweep and wiggle it quickly over any of the response zones. I hope you guys not getting the depth can understand what I am trying to say. But for the ones I see posting you have already given up.
...

I'll never forget the first time I swung a metal detector and it BEEPED! I dug up my treasure and I held that shiny circle of metal in my hand--a quarter!! Wow! A whole twenty-five cents! Since then I have treasured hunted all over the world. This site has info on information on metal detectors and hopefully anything else you need to know about metal detecting, treasure hunting, and finding gold!

Good luck!

150-Million Year Old Baby Bird Fossil/ W Hide Scraper!
Author: Steven Mopntes
150-Million Year Old Baby Bird Fossil/ Hide Scraper!

I was using my metal detector in the foothills of Tucson, Arizona. As luck would have it, I never find what I am Seeking. As the day started to come to an end. I was walking back to my truck with the metal detector resting on my shoulder.
I caught sight of an unusual looking rock laying on the ground. After picking up the rock I dusted the rock on my pant leg and noticed a fossilized baby bird just off center of the stone. I turned the stone over to reveal more of the bird’s body on the back of the stone.
After showing the bird off to some of my friends, I decided to take the stone to the University of Arizona. I wanted to learn more about what I had found.
My first stop at the U of A was at the American History Museum. I was told to take my stone to the Paleontology Department across the lawn in front of where I was. When I got there I saw a professor in his office. I asked him if I could talk to a Paleontologist. He asked why, so I handed him the stone and preceded to tell him how I had found the stone. His eyes got big with excitement as he examined the stone while we walking down the hallway to another office. Soon theirs were several professor and people looking at the stone in awe over my good fortune. As they talked, I listened.
The rock I found was secondary sedimentary solidified black limestone. Which is not indigenous to this area. I was told the rock could have come from Canada, Montana, Kansas, China, or even from South America.
The baby bird fossil was 150 million years old. This period in time is when birds evolved from reptiles. Another professor pointed out to me other inclusions that were in the stone like plant matter, twigs, and other foreign objects not identifiable to him. A professor stated that there was proof that this rock was found on the top of the ground the impact marks etched into the rock as the rain hit the front of the stone for thousands of years while it lay on top of the ground. The marks were small circular pockets about the size of a pencil eraser grouped together. It was also mentioned that there was once other bones near the chest of the bird that had fallen out over time but the imprint of the bones are still visible. They could not identify the species of bird, as there is nothing on record, to compare it to.
I was asked by one of the professors if I wouldn’t mind waiting for one more professor who was still in class to come see the stone. He stated that this professor was part of their group and they wanted his opinion of the stone.
As he approached, I handed him, the stone. He looked at it for a moment and stated that this stone was an artifact that had been carved by primitive man into a tool used to scrape the flesh away from the hide of game killed for food. It turned out that this mans background is in the field of Archeology. A silence fell on the people gathered we listened to information being given about this rare find.
The archeologist asked one of the professors if he could borrow his microscope to look at the stone more in depth. The group moved down the hall to a small office where we entered. As I stood by his side, he examined the stone and stated that there were glassy areas on the sharp edge around the stone that were not visible to the naked eye. He said that the tendons and ligaments had polished parts of the stone while being used. He also stated that the hide scraper was in mint condition and had hardly been used. He went on to say that most hide scrappers that we see today in museums are small ovals that are badly worn due to their use, and then discarded when they become too small and useless. He also said that he had never seen a slightly used hide scraper before.
He made mention that he wished he knew what group of people had carved the hide scraper. He thought that person who carved the stone might possibly be the first person to be recorded or documented as the first person to be a collector of fossils. He also said that these primitive people were farmers, artists, traders much like the people of today.
He also stated that the position of the bird and the way it was hand carved into a tool to portrayed the bird in such a manner that this item would be considered true fossil art.
After things started to wind down, I felt as several people like me, were in every sense of the word in awe over what this man had to share with us. One of the questions I asked was how much was this unique item I had found worth? The answer was that this artifact with a fossil inside of it had never been seen, documented or recorded anywhere in the world. So because there was nothing to compare it to, this item would be considered priceless.
As people were leaving, a young lady, still full of excitement, that if she was me, I should take a picture of the hide scraper and put it on the internet, and said that I should put a price of 20 million dollars, being that there is only one of these unique hide scrapers in the world. The chances of finding anything like it again are probably one in a trillion.
To date I am the only one in the world that has found anything like this ever. Owning this rare Jewel is overwhelming and too great for any one person to own, so I would like to share my enthusiasm with you and your friends.
