By Emily Yoffe Posted Monday, Aug. 18, 2003, at 7:42 AM PT Listen to Emily Yoffe discuss this topic on NPR's Day to Day I brought my metal detector on our summer vacation—we drove from Washington, D.C., to Maine—hoping to add fun and profit to our holiday. As I packed it in the trunk for the trip home, my normally considerate husband had this to say about my latest pastime: "Now that your metal detecting is over—and believe me IT'S OVER—we will think of it as a hideous family episode, like something out of a Pat Conroy novel, that we must put behind us and never discuss again." It's true that I had come to think of metal detecting as the world's worst hobby—frustrating, solipsistic, potentially felonious. But I had to admit that each time I turned the power dial on my Bounty Hunter Tracker IV and swung it over new territory, I understood how Bill Bennett must have felt before pulling that $500 slot: This time, baby, I'm going to hit the big score. I started metal detecting for the latest episode of Human Guinea Pig, the column in which I do things people are curious about but wish someone else would do for them. But metal detecting was something our family actually did want to do, even without

I want to go nugget shooting once a year, beach combing once a year, and the rest of the time I want to coin and relic hunt. What model of instrument should I be looking at? Are most metal detectors basically the same? [Top of page] Metal detectors are like cars, they have many different technologies, features, and performance characteristics for their intended use. There are five basic types of metal detectors: General Purpose-Coin/Relic/Treasure Gold Prospecting Cache Hunting/Deep Searching Some metal detectors are designed specifically for one type of searching. For example, gold prospecting detectors are designed to be extremely sensitive to small pieces of gold. General Purpose models are typically not designed to detect metals as small as a grain of rice, however, offer far superior trash metal rejection compared to prospecting models. When purchasing a metal detector, it is important to consider what type of metal detecting you will do most often, and prioritize according to your typical usage.

We're here to inform and entertain you with today's news in these areas, as well as tales about people and places of the past. Ninth Annual Report of the State Mineralogist for the year ending December 1, 1889 by the California State Mining Bureau LEARN MORE about this book on CD-ROM Book excerpt: "River Mining" R iver mining is a branch of placer mining that is carried on in the channels and beds of rivers and large streams. Practically it may be considered as including the mining of such deep bars as have to be exploited below the surface of the water in the adjacent river. River mining is not local to California, though undoubtedly carried on to a greater extent here than in any other gold-bearing district in the world. As contrasted with gulch and ravine mining and hydraulic mining, it is dry season work, only practicable when the rivers are in their low water stages. Probably no other branch of our gold mining industry is subject to more uncertainty under ordinary conditions than is river mining, yet in no other branch are as large returns possible with comparatively small capital. In the early mining history of California More...

CBA guide to portable antiquities, metal detecting and archaeology Most recent update: Wednesday 9th July 2003: The Goodison Review: Saving art for the nation is announced by the Treasury, to "...review the effectiveness and effiency of support to regional and national museums and galleries to help them aquire works of art and culture of distinction that might otherwise be sold abroad, and to make those items accessible to the public" . The government has invited responses to the review by 1st October 2003. The CBA has throughout its history played an active and influential role in campaigning for reforms of legislation, policy and practice in relation to portable antiquities - most especially in seeking to combat the illicit looting of archaeological sites and the trade in illegally removed cultural objects. In undertaking this work the CBA is advised by ' The Portable Antiquities Working Group ', a Presidential working party of the CBA with a membership of individuals with specialist knowledge drawn from a diverse range of archaeological and museums organisations. The Council for British Archaeology also acts as the convenor for the Standing Conference on Portable Antiquities , which brings together a broader constituency of archaeological, museums, governmental and academic bodies from throughout the UK.

Although a relatively small club, its members represent a broad spectrum of treasure hunters and metal detectorists. We have everyone from the novice to the professional, and everything in between. We have annual club hunts with planted coins, jewelry, and tokens. We also have several hunts a year without planted items. We have fun, informative monthly meetings with guest speakers, a display or "bragging board" that earns the contestant silver coins and points for Hunter of the Year. We also have 50/50 drawings, "leg of gold" drawings, and refreshments. The best thing about being a member of MARS is meeting and socializing with people who are as crazy as you are........... about treasure hunting that is.

Jim Vokes' Detectin' Pages (Detectorist designed by Donna Trefry and Painted by Jim Yates) I have been metal detecting for many years. I primarily hunt land sites, i.e.. schools, parks, house yards, sidewalk construction, farm fields, cellar holes etc. I have been using a Minelab Sovereign with the 8" coil, SunRay meter and the S-1 Probe. I have found many coins in the 1800's. My oldest coin is a 1700's Chinese Cash coin. I am also the proud owner of the new Minelab "Explorer" Detector. This is an excellent machine too and the old deep coins are beginning to pop out of the ground. This machine is a "winner' for sure.
