Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes a good metal detector for silver?

  Frequency: A metal detector with different frequency settings allows you to search for specific metals, giving you the ability to find what you’re looking for. Lower frequencies are great for silver or large items, while higher frequencies are best for gold.

• Is there a difference between a magnetometer and a metal detector?

  Yes, metal detectors only find metal nearby, while magnetometers find magnetic fields. However, their uses often overlap. know which tool is right for your needs.

• How are metal detectors used to find shipwrecks?

  A tow-fish, or boat-towed metal detector is often the first device implemented when initially locating a shipwreck. Boat-towed metal detectors come with long cables that are dropped from a search vessel; they signal upon locating ferrous (iron, steel) or non-ferrous (gold, silver, bronze, etc.) targets.

• Can a gold detector work in mineralized soil?

  Well, for starters, most buried gold is quite small and generally weighs less than a gram. It is also usually found in highly mineralized soil, which can cause heavy interference. Fortunately, gold detectors are designed to handle these issues and perform remarkably well in spite of them.

• What kind of metal can a metal detector detect?

  This type of metal detector will find iron, steel, copper, copper alloys, gold, silver and any other conductive metal. On the Formiche site in Capraia, Italy, a metal detector was used to locate buried ceramic fragments as they were unusually conductive and could be detected.

• Is there a difference between a magnetometer and a metal detector?

  Yes, metal detectors only find metal nearby, while magnetometers find magnetic fields. However, their uses often overlap. know which tool is right for your needs.

• What kind of magnetometer can detect iron and steel?

  The hand-held magnetometer can detect iron and steel over distances of many metres. Two types are available, the proton magnetometer sensor and the dual fluxgate sensor. The proton sensor is fitted in the JW Fishers Divermag1, this instrument is essentially an underwater version of a towed proton magnetometer.

• When did the first metal detector come out?

  If another coil is used to measure the magnetic field (acting as a magnetometer ), the change in the magnetic field due to the metallic object can be detected. The first industrial metal detectors were developed in the 1960s and were used extensively for mineral prospecting and other industrial applications.
