Metal Detectors

There has been a dramatic increase in people looking for hobbies that give back in recent years. Metal detectors were previously a rare sight down by the shore, but today they are being used in ways that have never been seen before. Finding treasure at the bottom of lakes, oceans, and deserts is a very gratifying hobby. The only drawback is the initial outlay, so Minelab created a selection of metal detectors and gold panning kits that wouldn't break the bank, allowing the general public to partake in what was once an expensive activity. We have the greatest metal detectors Australia has to offer here at Outback Equipment.

Let's start with the MineLab PRO-GOLD Complete Panning Kit, which includes a few little jars for you to store your finds—hopefully, gold—in. Additionally, you have a small container that you can use to pick up objects and a magnifying lens to focus on small particles. Both a small and a large pan are included, and a cute little carry bag that doubles as a backpack are also included so that you have the means to keep your hands free if you're carrying one of these other metal detectors. These kits are fantastic for getting your gem-hunting adventures off to a great start.

The MineLab PRO-FIND 15 Pinpointer was then brought out to test its ability to assist us to focus on tiny sand-buried objects. The larger metal detectors will be able to find the general location of the treasure, but if you want to be able to pinpoint exactly where it is in the ground if you can't find it, the Profind 15 Pinpointer will help you find that particular location or, in some cases, you could even say it'll help you... pinpoint it. It can be a little trickier to find little objects like jewellery along the beach's shoreline where sand is being blown around by minor waves because we've seen a lot of people employing them.

We strongly advise investing in a quality metal detector that Australians adore if you are just starting out. Such a detector should cover the fundamentals. Some people choose a metal detector with more functions, but we found that for weekend hobbyists, the most expensive/best model is more confusing than useful. This is why learning the fundamentals of treasure hunting with the MineLab GO-FIND 22 Metal Detector is a terrific idea. Grandparents and children alike may use it because of its relatively straightforward setup, which enables you to turn it on and begin using it right away. It has all four of the distinct materials it wants to pick up. The first is your ferrous metal, which is really just rubbish. Everything else will be distinguished as coins or rings, and it is typically fairly accurate. Therefore, you do have the option of disregarding those ferrous metals and saving your energy for the good things if you are searching in a location where the ground is a little trickier to excavate.

The MineLab Vanquish 540 Pro Pack Metal Detector is on the other end of the spectrum. From the novice to the more seasoned treasure seeker, this guy is fantastic. It has multi-IQ technology, which makes it capable of simultaneously detecting multiple types of metal, which is rather... revolutionary. It has a 12-inch coil for a larger range that is perfect for skimming and more open areas. In general, smaller coils aid in focusing on smaller metal pockets. The Pro Pack's ability to withstand water pressure up to one metre is, in our opinion, its strongest feature. As a result, there will be more opportunities to go treasure hunting in lakes, rivers, and beaches, which typically yield more reliable finds than in a field. It has rechargeable batteries and a charger, as well as wireless headphones so you can keep discoveries to yourself.
