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 texas sites metal detecting and hopefully anything else you need to know about metal detecting, treasure hunting, and finding gold!

Good luck!

The Pyramids of Giza
Author: Steven N. Ng
The most famous Egyptian pyramids to be built are the Great Pyramids of Giza, located in the outskirts of present-day Cairo. There are over 100 Egyptian pyramids of various sizes, and over 50 more in neighboring Sudan. However, the three Great Pyramids of Giza earn their fame by being the largest of these.

In the most popular pictures of the Pyramids of Giza, like the one shown below, the middle pyramid, that of Khafre (Chephren), appears larger due to the angle and because it was built on higher ground. The largest pyramid is actually the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the one on the left.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu

Contrary to popular belief, not all the Great Pyramids of Giza are considered part of the Seven Wonders of the World. Only the largest, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, is a member, and is the only one of the Seven Wonders that still stands. Egypt was also home to another of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was destroyed long ago.

The Pyramid of Khufu has a height of 145 m (475 ft) and a base area of 52,400 sqm (562,500 sqft). That area is large enough to fit over 20 Olympic-size swimming pools! And for thousands of years, until the rise of modern-day skyscrapers, the pyramid was the tallest building in the world.

What makes the pyramid an architectural triumph and one of the Seven Wonders of the World is the fact that the rocks used in its construction each way more than 2 tons. And there are more than 2 million of those rocks.

Greek travelers to ancient Giza wrote that it took a hundred thousand slaves 20 years to construct the pyramid. However, since they visited Egypt more than 2 thousand years after the Egyptian pyramids were built, the truth of their accounts are suspect. Modern engineers estimate that it would likely take less people and less time to build the pyramid using technology that was available at that time.

Treasures of the Pharaoh

The Pyramid of Khufu was built by the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) in the 4th Dynasty circa 2560 BC, making it over 4500 years old! It is widely accepted that the pyramid was built to bury Pharaoh Khufu when he died. However, many other conspiracy theories abound as to why the pyramids were built, ranging from astronomical observatories to alien artifacts.

Since Egyptian Pharaohs were noted for being buried with their great treasure, Arab conquerors attempted to gain entrance into the Pyramid of Khufu in order to plunder it.

They managed to find a few narrow passages that led both up into the center of the pyramid, and down beneath the massive structure. However, all they managed to find at the end of these passages were empty chambers. No mummies or treasure was found in the pyramid.

During the Arabs' excavation of the Pyramid of Khufu, they encountered various boulders and slabs that were used to seal the passages and chambers within the pyramid. They also found hidden doors. This probably fueled the many myths about the Egyptian pyramids being booby-trapped, and where a grave robber who managed to get in would never get out alive.

A 17th century Englishman managed to uncover another shaft connecting the passages, but still no treasure was to be found.

Two conclusions can be derived from this. One, ancient tomb raiders have long since plundered all the treasure from the pyramid, leaving behind nothing but a few empty chambers. Or two, Khufu's mummy and treasure is still cleverly hidden within (or beneath) the Great Pyramid.
