THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING

TYPES OF METAL DETECTING

The Time Ranger™ is suitable for all five of the main types of

metal detecting:

1. "Coinshooting" -- searching for coins, usually in places like

parks and people's yards. Usually there is a lot of aluminum

trash like pulltabs and bottle caps, so ability to distinguish

between metal trash and coins is important. Since coinshooting

is usually done in places where you're not permitted to dig holes

with a shovel, extreme depth capability is not essential. Some

towns have ordinances prohibiting metal detectors in parks, so if

you have any doubt, check first.

2. Relic Hunting-- searching for historical artifacts, including coins,

mostly in places like fields and vacant lots where digging holes is

okay. The most common unwanted metal is iron (nails, fence wire,

parts of wheeled vehicles, etc.) but you may actually be searching

for iron objects. For relic hunting, the important features are

excellent depth capability and the ability to ignore iron metals

(discrimination). Before you go relic hunting, obtain permission

from the property owner. Some public lands are protected by law

from relic hunting, so if you intend to hunt on public land, check

first with the administrator to make sure it's not illegal.

3. Gold Prospecting-- searching for gold nuggets. Because most

nuggets are tiny, high sensitivity is needed. And because gold is

usually associated with iron minerals in the soil, an accurate

ground balancing system is also needed. Ability to identify

targets or to ignore iron is relatively unimportant. It's best to use

a small accessory searchcoil. If you're going gold prospecting,

search in areas where gold is known to be present -- it's very rare

nowadays to discover a new gold location. Learn to recognize

posted claims and don't search on them without first getting

permission. Prospecting clubs often have their own claims which

are open to members.

4. Cache Hunting-- searching for a specific buried cache, typically a

jar or strongbox containing money or gold or silver bullion. This

requires a ground balanced all metals mode. It's best to use an

oversize accessory searchcoil. Always make sure the issue of

ownership is resolved before you dig a cache.
