Metal Detecting is the Safest Thing You Can Do

It is true, the Coronavirus is a real threat and we all need to do what we can to keep from spreading it further. Being stuck in the house isn’t much fun unless you have something to look forward to. That’s why I think nothing is better than some fresh air and a change of scenery to avoid cabin fever. We need to keep our distance from large groups and the everyday city life, but what if you could have fun outside?

Metal detecting is the safest thing I can suggest. It’s an awesome way to get out of the house, have some fun, and never have to be in contact with anyone. Just imagine you and your loves ones out in the great outdoors with a purpose, exploring and finding treasures together. Metal detecting is very rewarding, and families love it. The kids love grabbing a shovel and walking along with you, waiting to dig for the unknown. There’s plenty of kid metal detectors too. The whole family can get involved.

To be honest with you, I haven’t met one person yet that doesn’t get that adventurous look in their eyes when I tell them they could be a modern-day treasure hunter. It’s one of the fastest-growing outdoor hobbies in the world and everyone can do it. It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, there’s many different types of detectors on the market to accommodate everyone.

Now let’s get to the part where you can protect your family and yourself from the virus. First off, plan ahead on how to leave the house and get to where you’re going without having to stop at the stores on the way there.

 

 

Where Should I Go?

If you have a place in mind, great! Make sure you’re choosing a location out of town or away from people. That way, you have a better chance of not seeing anyone or have to worry about being to close. If you need some ideas, use Google and Google Earth to help you narrow down an area. If you are new to metal detecting, do a little research on the web for locations outside of your city to see where others enjoy detecting.

What Should I Take with Me?

Decide how long you plan to be gone and how many people you are taking, and then pack accordingly. Take a cooler to keep everything fresh and cool. If you plan on being gone for a few hours, take a lunch and/or dinner, including snacks and drinks. Make sure to stay hydrated.

What About Gasoline for the Drive?

Don’t leave town without a full tank of gas but don’t go inside the gas station, pay at the pump. When you get out of your car, swipe your bank card to pay. Then use a Clorox wipe to sterilize the handle of the pump and there you have it. You left the house and didn’t have to come face to face with anyone.

What Should I Do When I Arrive at The Destination?

Once you have arrived, look around. It’s okay if you see people in the distance, it’s the great outdoors. Just don’t go to a place that is crowded. There’s plenty of room out there so if you see a big crowd, drive down the road another mile or so and you’ll be fine.

There you have it! This a great plan and you’ll be glad you did it. I guarantee that you will feel like a new person once you get back home. Just being out in the fresh air could do us all some good and most likely, you’ll be able to handle being cooped up in the house for a few more days now while choosing your next location.

Best 10 Coin Metal Detectors of 2020

It’s true. You could spend many hours online researching which coin detector fits your needs, but Treasures in America has made it much easier for you. In this article, I will give you the top 10 detectors that will help you find more coins. Although some may have other opinions, I’m going to shoot it to you straight by using customer reviews and ratings along with the top selling metal detectors on the market.

Coin detecting is a very popular sport. There’s no better feeling than locating a coin, pulling it out of the ground, and after wiping the dirt off of it, realizing you have found a rare coin. There are many coins to be found and that’s no joke. I was in the park demonstrating how a detector works in one of the oldest parks in my town and we found 10 coins in a matter of 20 minutes.  I believe we only covered an area about the size of a small playground. Who knows how many more are still there?

There’s no question about brands like Minelab, Whites, & Garrett, but I’m going to list more brands than that. I’m going to show you other brands like Nokta | Makro, XP Metal Detectors, Fisher and more.

Quarantine During the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Between all the press media and social media posts, I’ve decided that I’m not going to talk about what’s going on in the world today. I’m going to talk about things you can do while staying safe and keeping your distance from others. My wife LeeAnn, mentioned to me while going to sleep the other night, “You should write a blog about things to do while in quarantine.” At first, I thought, I’m not sure if I want to talk about it as I was falling asleep. When I woke up the next day, I knew that she was on to something. I thought about all the years and time indoors I’ve spent researching history and treasure sites; reading books, watching movies, studying maps and so much more. I think I may be the right man for the job for all you metal detectorists and treasure hunters.
Now let’s get to the good stuff. I don’t care who you are, learning a few new things will be good for you. So, I’m going to make a very simple list of things that I’ve enjoyed doing in the past while waiting for the snow to melt or waiting for that next big trip.

Top 5 Things to do Related to Treasure Hunting and Metal Detecting

Plan Your Next Adventure

There’s plenty of things to do and plan for your next trip to be prepared. I have spent months planning and collecting information for a trip. More importantly, researching the area you want to go to is key. Learn the history of the area so you know what could be waiting for you to unearth. Make a list of equipment and supplies you may need. Study Google Earth and get familiar with the area. Contact your friends that you want to take and have meetings over the phone to discuss your plans.

Plan a Treasure Hunting Road Trip

Everyone needs a change of scenery, especially when you have been cooped up in the house. It would be great for you and your family to get out and you can do it with little to no interaction with others. All you need to do is pack your lunch, snacks, and drinks from home. If you need gasoline, pay at the pump so you don’t have to go inside the gas station. Take everything you need and head out to a secluded area. Pick a place that you feel will be harder to get to, not as well known. That way you don’t have to be around others and if you see people outdoors, just move down the road a little further.

Read Metal Detecting and Treasure Hunting Books

I bet I own around 60 books and they vary from metal detecting for dummies to the best treasures still waiting to be found. I can’t even begin to tell you how important it is to educate yourself on related topics of treasures. I bet you I’ve spent thousands of hours with my nose in a book. There’s many out there and I guarantee that you can get lost for hours by doing this. Books are not expensive and with all this extra time on your hands, you could be surprised by what you learn.

Watch Metal Detecting and Treasure Hunting Movies and TV Shows

This is another great way to not only learn more, but to gain some great ideas. I would also say that some of the TV shows even get me pumped and excited to go out and hunt. I bet there’s a few that come to your mind but expand even a little further. You could watch “The Curse of Oak Island,” “Gold Rush,” even Mathew McConaughey on “Fools Gold.” YouTube is another great source to watch some great stuff. The possibilities are endless. If you really investigate it, there are hundreds of hours of popcorn worthy shows.

Map Reading and Learning Many Different Areas

I really enjoy looking at Topo maps. My favorite is the 7.5-minute maps of the areas I want to explore. I own many and I even collect the different types and years. I’ll give you a clue if you are into looking for old mines and ghost towns, look at the somewhat current topo maps from 1990-2008, then find the oldest topo map of the same area and you will be surprised at the difference and what you might find. I tend to find more structures and mines on the older maps. This is a fun way to spend your time and you never know, you may start collecting topo maps as I do.

Metal Detect an Area Away from Others

Trying to stay away from others isn’t a bad idea with the Coronavirus spreading so fast, but that doesn’t mean that you must stay indoors the whole time. Pick an area that you know well. Somewhere that you know that others most likely won’t be present. To avoid contact with the public, pack a lunch and take plenty to drink. Make a short list of what you need and pack your vehicle. That way, you can leave your house and come back with minimum socializing and face to face with others. Enjoy the fresh air, family time/solitude and your detector.

Organized and Maintenance on Your Outdoor Gear

I’ve had to do this from to time, and it’s a great way to make an inventory list of what you need. It’s also a great way to look at your gear to figure out how to organize it better. I like to use duffle bags, zip-lock bags, and hard cases to protect and store my equipment. This is the time to think about replacing items like batteries, chargers, cables and more. Even though you are in isolation, that doesn’t mean that you can’t buy the necessary item you need on the internet without leaving the house. While you are in the middle of organizing, you can take some time and clean your equipment as well. Depending on how much gear you have, this could be an hour project to a couple of days.
Now some of these things may or may not appeal to you, but it should give you some ideas to make your quarantine easier, more pleasant, and to pass the time. Treasures in America’s website has many resources and you could get lost on our site. We would enjoy meeting you and talking with you. Go to our site and reach out to us. Our passion is adventure and treasure hunting.
On another note, we at Treasures in America are taking the Coronavirus very seriously and we wish you all the best and good health. Once it passes, we hope to see you out there doing your hobby, living the good life with a metal detector in your hand. God bless the world and keep your chin up; things will get better and life will go back to how it was.
It’s not just a metal detector, it’s a LIFESTYLE. Good Luck. Be Safe. Find Your Adventure.

Looking for a fun family outing? Try metal detecting

This article was originally posted on stgeorgeutah.com. Click Here to read the original article.

ST. GEORGE — Is there gold in them thar hills? Treasure hunting experts in Southern Utah think there might be and they can often be found combing the red dirt and rocky slopes of the area with the latest and greatest metal detectors in search of their next big find.

But even if there isn’t a hidden stash of gold or rare objects in the desert, metal detecting can be a fun activity for the whole family. And whether you come home with a pocket full of rusted old nails and loose change, or a cache of valuable coins, there can be a huge intrinsic payoff to getting outdoors with loved ones.

Aided by popular television programs like the History Channel’s “The Curse of Oak Island” and “Legend of the Superstition Mountains,” and coupled with a large social media presence, treasure hunting and metal detecting have seen a huge surge among hobbyists and families.
With that in mind, the creators behind Treasures in America – an expert treasure hunting team based in Southern Utah – want to help get more families out finding their own treasure … be it money or memories.

Timothy Draper, founder and CEO of Treasures in America, has been treasure hunting for over 20 years. He is an official historical treasure hunter, meaning he uses historical data to research possible treasure sites.

“When I go out and look for things, I’ve usually spent a lot of time researching the area,” Draper said. “I already know that there is a historical significance of a possible find of either relics or artifacts or treasure.”

He is an expert in his field and he, along with the Treasures in America team, have been featured on The Travel Channel’s “The Legend of… with Chris Jericho,” searching for the lost loot in Butch Cassidy’s famous Castle Gate payroll robbery.

But while historical data can get a person to the right place, it takes other equipment to find an actual treasure.

Once he has researched an area, combed through maps and studied geographical monuments and other symbols that might indicate a possible find, Draper said he often turns to the technology of a metal detector to search where his eyes cannot see.

Draper said he has been using metal detectors to help pinpoint objects for just as long as he has been treasure hunting and he has had some really fascinating finds.

Among his favorite relics and treasures found with a metal detector are a rare coin – which experts that Draper has had examine the coin agree is of Spanish origin – and a Spanish sword.

Unwilling to give up all of his secrets, Draper said the artifacts were found somewhere in Southern Utah. But that is as much as he was willing to share.

That said, Draper does want to share his passion and knowledge with others in hopes that it helps get families playing in the outdoors.

A father himself, Draper said that his 13-year-old son – like most kids his age – is obsessed with video games and computers.

“He’s really good at computers, he’s really good at playing games, but that’s all he does,” Draper said, adding that while he recognizes that is typical behavior for a teenager, he would rather see his son spend more time outdoors.

“I’m an outdoorsman,” he said. “I know how good it is for the soul, for the mind, to get away from the house and just get out and hike.”

In an effort to get his son out more, Draper said, he has been encouraging his son to accompany him when he goes metal detecting. He hasn’t pushed too hard, he said, and once his son got his first valuable find – an old quarter worth several hundred dollars – Draper said his son was hooked.

Of course, not all metal detecting outings end with a valuable find, but that doesn’t mean they are not successful.

Treasures in America lead climber and vice president of the southern division Shaun Fotheringham said that it is the adventure of the hunt that keeps him coming back.

“For me, it’s the adventure of going out there, getting your family out of the house and off of the couch,” Fotheringham said. “It’s just the simple act of looking for something and making those memories with your family.”

Fotheringham added that he loves digging in the dirt and his children love it too.
In order to reach out to beginners and share their passion for metal detecting, Draper and Fotheringham shared some tips to get people started.

What equipment do you need?

Draper said that beginners don’t need to spend a lot of money to start having fun – decent metal detectors for kids start at around $100 and you can buy a basic adult detector starting at $150, Draper said. He suggests beginners start with an inexpensive, lightweight machine that will do the basics and not overwhelm the user.

There is always room to upgrade once a person has outgrown the capability of their machine, Draper said.

Metal detectors can be purchased from stores such as Cabela’s, Walmart and Dick’s Sporting goods, online sites such as Amazon.com and they are also sold on Treasures in America’s website where a purchase also comes with a free consultation about how to use the equipment.

Other suggested gear includes a shovel or some type of digger/scoop, sand sifters, bags to collect possible finds, gloves for digging and any necessary safety gear for the climate and area.

Where can you go?

In Southern Utah, Draper said, there are many places to go metal detecting. He prefers to stick to the outskirts of cities on public lands.

Each public land managing entity has different rules and regulations regarding the use of metal detectors and the retrieval or removal of certain finds.

Both Fotheringham and Draper said to reach out to the land use entity prior to taking a metal detector out. This includes but is not limited to state parks, national forests, Bureau of Land Management lands and other recreation areas.

Likewise, if metal detecting is taking place on private land, it is imperative to get the land owner’s permission to be there and possibly dig holes or remove objects.

Fotheringham and Draper also said it is important to them to leave an area looking the same or better than when they arrived by filling in all holes they may have dug and removing litter they find.

Who can you go with?

Fotheringham and Draper said that they have people reach out to them asking about metal detecting all the time, so Treasures in America has created an adventure membership program which will bring together treasure and adventure hunters.

Though it does require a yearly fee, membership gives the user access to personal consultations and discounts on gear and shipping, hands-on learning opportunities, meet ups and more.

Draper started the program to help like-minded individuals find a place to go for tips, maps, gear, friendship, and adventure, he said.

“I have such a passion for treasure hunting,” Draper said, adding that he really wants to help families find their own personal treasure and something that has value to them.

Best Metal Detecting Pinpointers in 2020

Metal Detecting Doesn’t Stop with a Metal Detector

A pinpointer will make a world of a difference when it comes to digging up your treasure. As a metal detectorist, there are many tools that you should have with you, and a pinpointer is at the top of the list. Imagine using your metal detector, and it alerts you that you found a needle in a haystack. Sure, you can somewhat find the general area where the needle is but using a pinpointer will help you narrow it down to a very small area. When I first started metal detecting, I only had a small shovel and the detector, and my discoveries took much longer to narrow down. Unfortunately, sometimes I had to abandon my search altogether because I just couldn’t find what my detector had discovered. Now that I use a pinpointer, I never leave a hole I’ve dug without recovering an object. It’s that cut and dry.

I’ll break it down for you. You spent X amount of money on your metal detector to recover your treasures, so now take the next step and invest in a pinpointer. If you don’t, you might find what your detector is telling you about, but you could miss out on many opportunities of zeroing in and finding coins, relics, gold, silver, and much more. Pinpointers are similar to detectors but the biggest difference is that the detector has a large coil that helps you find the targeted area deep in the ground while pinpointers will not go deep in the ground, but will find the target less than a centimeter away from the tip of the pinpointer.

There are many good pinpointers out there and you can find tons of information on them by searching on the web. I would like to help you out by “pointing” you (pun intended) in the right direction of what brands and what models are the most popular by sells and customer reviews.

10 Best Gold Metal Detectors in 2020

How Do You Determine Which Gold Detector Will Work For You?

First off, you need to do some research. You need to narrow down which brand and model fits your needs and budget. Using quality gold metal detectors is not necessarily considered a cheap metal detecting hobby. Gold detectors range from $99.00-$7,999.00 and that’s a huge difference from low to high. I’m going to help you narrow it down, starting with the manufacturers that have designed gold detectors. Like I’ve said in other articles, find the brand that you like, all brands have a different look, feel, and function. Doing some research online on YouTube and the manufacturer’s websites will help you to decide which brand suits you.

1. Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors
2. Fisher Labs Metal Detectors
3. Garrett Metal Detectors
4. Minelab Metal Detectors
5. Nokta | Makro
6. Teknetics Metal Detectors
7. Whites Electronics Metal Detectors
8. XP Metal Detectors

All of the brands listed above have gold detectors. Search their websites and YouTube, you can view reviews and see first-hand what others are saying about the manufacturers, and what models are more commonly used and desired.

What Should I Do Next?

I would also like to bring up something that you may not have thought of yet. Some people metal detect for fun and a hobby, which means they love getting out and enjoy finding their treasures and displaying them off to their family and friends. Some metal detectorists use their detectors to make a profit with their finds. Gold, we all know is very valuable and can be worth your time if you make a discovery. I would suggest keeping that in mind. Are you into it for the sport or are you considering creating a profit from time to time? If you are considering turning a profit, I would like to mention that you should look at this purchase as an investment and the rule of thumb is, the more expensive, the better the detector. (I know I know, not everyone agrees that the more you spend, the better the product) but here’s my opinion when it comes to this topic, “When you spend more money on gold detectors you get better search coils, the detector climbs the ladder of more top gear status, and the functions/options increase with the higher quality detector. All of this equals more efficient gold found, and better use of your time.”

The Top 10 Gold Metal Detectors of 2020

The Top 10 gold detectors aren’t in order of best of the 10, only you can pick what is the best and whatever you pick will be the best for you. All I can do is point you in the right direction and try to take some of the guesswork out of the equation. The top 10 of 2020 are…

TREASURE COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

Celeste Sandbank (Prospector Barbie)

Celeste Sandbank lives in Northern California and is an Aesthetic Nurse by day and a Treasure Hunter by night. Her passion and knowledge for finding crystals and gold are inspiring! This is a girl who is not afraid to get her hands dirty while out there digging for what she loves. We heard that when she goes out digging, she’s always got a batch of cookies in her car or purse to persuade landowners for permission to dig on their land. Genius!

Celeste just became one of TIA’s paid members and purchased a Minelab Equinox 800 You can follow her on Facebook and/or Instagram.

GLOBAL DISCOVERIES

Egypt: Pharaoh Ramesses Body Survived Largely Intact

“EGYPT archaeologists discovered the body of a pharaoh “largely intact” during an excavation near the famous Valley of the Kings.” “Ramses II was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty in Egypt. Often regarded as one of the greatest and most celebrated rulers of the New Kingdom, he led several military expeditions into surrounding countries to strengthen the empire. He was buried in the Valley of the Kings, near the west bank of the Nile, but this is not where his body was found.”

How cool is that? There are new discoveries being made every day that prove there is so much lost history still uncovered around the world. We don’t have to go to Egypt to find something, we just need to get out there and look for clues in our own backyards.

The Best Treasure You’ll Ever Find

The Ultimate Adventure

The Treasures in America’s team has dedicated the last 20 years of their lives to adventure. Some of them, like Timothy Draper (Founder of Treasures in America), have spent most of their adult lives outdoors exploring everywhere they can reach. Treasures in America (TIA) have inspired many people along the way but it’s time to step it up a notch. It’s time to take secrets out of treasure hunting and start working with many people that want to be involved.

Like Timothy said in this video, “I’m going to do something that other treasure hunters haven’t done. Put trust in people.” Because TIA has so many sites of lost riches and history, we hope by sharing our adventure and teaching others, that many will follow, and many will succeed in not only discovering a passion but find their adventure as well. Watch this inspiring and exciting video and learn who we are and what we do.
