What are Metal Detectors?
Metal detectors are like magic wands. They can find metal that is hidden. Some look for treasure. Some look for weapons. Metal detectors use magnets. Our factory is a Neodymium Magnets Factory, we produce all kinds of magnets for your needs.
How do they work?
- They make a magnetic field. Like an invisible cloud.
- When the cloud touches metal, it changes.
- The detector beeps! It found something!
It is like playing “I Spy” with metal! It is also used for security. In airports, they use big metal detectors. You walk through them. It can be a walk-through detector, these are Counter-IED systems. They keep us safe from weapons.
Kids can use metal detectors too! They can find coins and toys in the sand.
How Do They Work? (It’s Like Magic!)
It is all about magnets. Our company knows a lot about them. This is due to the craft and experince of our NdFeB Magnets Factory. Magnets make a force field, just like a superhero!
- Weak magnets = can’t find much.
- Strong magnets = find more!
Our magnets are super strong, it’s true! NdFeB magnets are the best. They make the magnetic field very strong. This helps find even tiny things or if it is very deep-seeking technology!
There are two main kinds:
- VLF (Very Low Frequency): Good for most things. Like coins and jewelry.
- Pulse Induction (PI): Very strong! Good for gold and deep things. It may also assist in landmine detection technology.
Imagine you have a flashlight.
- VLF is like a regular flashlight.
- PI is like a super bright spotlight!
Our magnets make both kinds work better! They give you the best signal strength interpretation, essential for the best detectors for beginners! And the best metal detector brands use magnets just like we do!
Types of Metal Detectors
There are lots of metal detectors! It is essential to learn about metal detectors to find the history of metal detection.
A. For Treasure Hunters
Type | What it Finds | Where to Use It |
---|---|---|
All-Purpose | Coins, jewelry, relics | Parks, beaches, fields |
Gold Prospecting | Gold nuggets | Rivers, deserts, gold rush prospecting areas |
Underwater | Treasure in water | Lakes, oceans, rivers |
You should know how to choose a metal detector, as well as some metal detector accessories (coils, pinpointers.
These are great for:
- Beach metal detecting guide: Finding lost rings!
- Coin shooting strategies: Old coins in parks!
- Finding buried artifacts: Like from a long time ago.
- Underwater treasure hunting: Shipwrecks!
- Relic hunting techniques: We can find ancient coin recovery using the best detectors for jewelry.
B. For Safety and Work
- Security Scanners: Keep bad things out. Like at airports. TSA-approved detectors have good ground balance adjustment.
- Industrial Detectors: Find metal in food or other stuff, with the aid of industrial metal detection systems.
- Military-grade metal detectors: Find dangerous things. Military grade and for landmines. They’re used with counterfeit coin detection.
These are for:
- Security screening technology: Keeping us safe.
- Handheld security scanners: Also, TSA Approved!
- Metal detection in construction.**
- Industrial metal detection systems.
C. Why Our Magnets are the Best
Our NdFeB magnets make all these detectors work great!
- Stronger field = find more things.
- More sensitive = find smaller things.
- Longer lasting = work for a long time.
We make custom magnets. This means we can make them just for you! We can tailor for your specific needs, from all-terrain detectors to submersible detectors, nano search coils, and more. You should be aware to search for park hunting permissions in your local area, as well as metal detecting laws and ethics and legal rights for treasure. We also use treasure mapping tools.
Picking the Right One
A. What to Look For
- Sensitivity: How small a thing it can find, which is important for detecting rare metals.
- Frequency: Some work better for gold, some for silver.
- Ground Balance: Helps with tricky ground, like wet sand.
- Discrimination: Tells the difference between trash and treasure!
- Weight and ergonomics: Make sure it is comfy to hold!
B. Top Brands
Some good brands are:
- Garrett Metal Detectors
- Minelab Equinox 800
- Fisher F75
- Nokta Makro Simplex+.
- Fisher Gold Bug.
- Garrett AT Pro.
- White’s Electronics.
- Many of these utilize Multi-frequency technology.
These companies use great magnets… like ours!
