What's A Good Metal Detector To Find Silver Coins?
I have already wasted money on 2 cheap metal
detectors and find too much trash (actually had better luck with a friends model I borrowed, he got it from Walmart). I live in north NY state, I know many areas where I can find alot of silver if I can only stop digging up 99% trash! Some of my found "treasures" are shown on http://www.sirseek.com/findings/ Summer is on the way and I need a good metal detector! QUESTIONS: 1.) What's the best metal detecter for finding silver metals? Please let me know what a good metal detector (valued less than $1,000) that is good for finding silver quarters, half dollars, dollars or even jewlery. 2.) Is there a metal detector that will only detect gold (I know this is probably the dumbest question ever, but I am serious)? Or at least is there a reliable model that will almost weed out all metals except gold? Please answer these 2 simple questions for me if you can... -----------------------T-A-G----------------------- Image & Sign Generator Fun www.CustomSignGenerator.com |

Oh, thanks, that's even a better place!
I was thinking that I was doing it for coin collecting purposes, my instinct was to search for coin collecting as I was sure many coin collectors get some coins this way. I was hoping for opinions expressed by avid coin collectors... I wil copy this message over to that group, thanks a bunch! |

oups.com... .... 2.) Is there a metal detector that will only detect gold (I know this is probably the dumbest question ever, but I am serious)? Or at least is there a reliable model that will almost weed out all metals except gold? Metal detectors work by a coil generating a magnetic field that is intercepted by every metal object. As an induced current flows in the detected object it creates a counter field that affects the current flowing in the coil. The process is desceribed he http://www.ukdetectornet.co.uk/andy1.htm There are many detectorist clubs and societies full of knowledgeable people who can expand on this. Copper, silver, gold and aluminum all have approximately the same electrical conductivity and will return a stronger signal than less conductive metals such as iron. I don't know of any detector that will only find gold. I doubt that the laws of physics would permit any such thing. Dave Welsh Classical Coins www.classicalcoins.com |
