Metal Detectors
Discover Hidden Treasures With Metal Detectors
A metal detector turns any trip outdoors into treasure hunting. From coins hidden in the ground to relics and gold, detectors let you discover what’s out of sight. They’re compact, feature-rich, and easy to use for both beginners and seasoned prospectors.
The best detector depends on the target and the ground you’re searching. Different modes and coils make it easier to find the item you want and rule out junk. Settings for sensitivity and discrimination help you check the target and focus on valuable finds.

Metal Detector FAQs
How deep can a metal detector detect?
Depth depends on the coil, the soil, and the size of the target. Small coins are often found at 15 to 20 cm, while larger coils can detect targets much deeper.
Do I need a permit to use a metal detector?
Some states require fossicking licences or a Miner’s Right to use a metal detector for gold prospecting. Rules vary by state. Find out more at:
