Here are somethings you need to know before you start detecting.



1.Do not trespass. Obtain permission from the landowner before venturing on to any land


2.Respect the country code. Do not leave gates open and do not damage crops or frighten animals


3.Wherever the site may be, do not leave a mess or an unsafe surface for those who may follow. It is perfectly simple to extract a coin or other small object buried a few inches below the ground without digging a great hole. Use a suitable digging implement to cut a neat flap (do not remove the plug of earth entirely from the ground). Extract the object, reinstate the grass, sand or soil carefully and even you will have trouble locating the spot again.


4.If you discover any live ammunition or any other lethal object such as an unexploded bomb or mine, do not disturb it. Mark the site carefully and report the find to the local police and the land owner.


5.Help keep Britain tidy. Safely dispose of any rubbish you come across


6.Report all unusual historical finds to the land owner and, acquaint yourself with current NCMD policy relating to the voluntary reporting of portable antiques.


7.Remember it is illegal for anyone to use a metal detector on a protected area (e.g. scheduled archaeological site, special site of scientific interest or MOD property), without permission from the appropriate authority.


8Acquaint yourself. with the definitions of Treasure contained in the Treasure Act 1996 and its associated code of practice, making sure you understand your responsibilities.


9.Remember that when you are out with your metal detector you are an ambassador for our hobby. Do nothing that might give it a bad name.


10.Never miss an opportunity to explain your hobby to anyone who asks about it.

So... you just bought your first metal detector and you're looking for any help you can find. You came to the right place!

Buying the Best Detector

All of us probably want to have the best metal detector, but many simply can't afford it, or is just starting out in the hobby, and doesn't want to spend the bucks to get the best. Of course, having the deepest machine will give you an edge over other hunters, but from our own experience, it's not that important! And how's that, you ask?
The answer is simple, by doing research and studying your local history, you will find spots that others have never hit, and most likely, the targets are only a few inches under your coil. Then once you get used to telling your signals apart, you'll be able to graduate more trashy areas that most detectorists bypass cause they don't have the patience to deal with it.

Dig Everything

The best place to use your first metal detector is on a beach, and just dig everything till you learn the different types of signals. Most detectors are built with some discrimination that helps you bypass most objects like nails, foil, pulltabs, etc. But the more you discriminate, the less depth you going to have. For example, if you discriminate against pulltabs, you'll miss the nickels or small gold rings. So be careful with it!
Don't start in an area that is so overloaded with signals it drives you crazy. Take our advice and practice on a beach or field, or even better, your own backyard.

Cleaned-out Spots

If you know of someplace that has been well hunted or over hunted, try detecting it after a big rain when the ground is soaked. The wet ground has more conductivity, and you may find deeper stuff. Also, after a hard winter, the ground shifts after it thaws, so there are now targets where there wasn't any last year when you detected there. Go back and check your old turf again.

Respect Others

Always cover your holes even on the beaches, so people that are walking or jogging don't twist their ankle, because they rarely look where they're going! Always take the trash you dig up with you. A lot of times we get home and go through our trash, and discover things we thought was junk and it wasn't.

Nosey People

Let's face it... metal detecting get a lot of attention! It's rare that you'll be going to a place where nobody else is around. The best thing to do, when you get to a site, is to start detecting at the far end, away from the crowd. Then once people have noticed you, watched for awhile, and noticed how far away you're detecting, they'll go back to their own business, and forget about you. In other words, they'll get use to you.
Once that happens, you can edge your way closer to a crowd or to a better area. Some may even edge their way over to you, just to chat.
If you don't want to be bothered with nosey people, try starting your day early, or later after the crowds thin out, or when it's raining. We even metal detect at night every once in awhile.

Overload

Ever notice that aluminum cans give the same signal as a coin? When you pinpoint it, it says 1.5 inches, you kick away 2.0 inches of sand and it it still beeps in the hole. Common sense come into play here...it is not a coin.
The question is, do you dig up the can and discard it, or do you refill the hole and leave it because your trash pouch is already full? Listen, take extra plastic bags with you to put large trash in, then if you get stopped by the rangers on the way out you can show them how much trash you picked up. In some situations, we actually take a bag of trash in with us just to have on hand just in case

Researching New Spots

There are many ways of finding new spots. You don't even have to go to the library. The Internet has grown a lot for the past few years, and new sites are popping up everywhere. All you have to do is go to your favorite search engine and type "History of ..." your state, province or town and see what comes up. A little bit of reading, and you're on the way to some new spots.
Another way is to find some old pictures or postcards. Most old postcards have a picture of a significant place, like parks, casinos, important buildings and beaches.
GPS

I have a Blackberry with GPS built in. I use it to plan hunts. I also use an app called every trail that records my GPS trail so I can refer to it for return trips. You can use it to take pictures and it encodes the GPS coordinates into the image info file and pinpoints it on a map thereby giving you more options for referencing locations and hunts.

CLEANING COINS
We always used a rock tumbler to clean coins/jewellery etc.. It works great, usually takes about 12-24 hours, but it works flawlessly. You can usually find a cheap one at a walmart in the kids section, or any hobby shop


GOOGLE EARTH
I think that google earth is one of the best research tool for liking at your sites.

Typical global climate simulations use spatial resolutions of about 300 kilometers (186 miles), which limits their ability to simulate climate and climate change on a regional scale. For example, with these lower resolutions it is difficult to assess climate changes, and the resulting societal impacts, in the climatically varying regions within California.

The high-resolution global climate simulations were run on a number of large computers at LLNL and on two machines at the Department of Energy's National Energy Research Supercomputer Center (NERSC).

The 50 km global model has 32 times more grid cells and requires about 200 times more computer processing time than comparable models at 300-km resolution.
