Like all things in life, the phrase "you get what you pay for" is true with Gold Metal Detectors. In my opinion to the more you pay the better it is.
When buying a Gold Metal detector you will find they can be very expensive and a Good choice would be to try and source a second hand unit. I've found the best places to try are Amazon, Ebay and Craigslist. However look in your local newspaper's classified section and notice boards that have been put up in community centres, supermarkets and local newsagents all these are good places to try. Even at second hand the detector will be quite expensive and you should know what you're buying and its condition before you part with any money.
Once you've got your metal detector find out how to look after it. Follow the instructions carefully to get the best out of it. You could join a metal detecting club for like-minded people. They usually organise events and are more than willing to help novices get the best out of their detectors.
One of the best places to start your search for hidden riches is Your back garden that's right I'll say it again "your own back garden" think about it you might not find much but you'll get used to your detector find out what the best method is for you. I say you might find much however you never know. When my father bought a farmhouse I went over the garden with the detector and found a toy car from the 1920's value about $30.00 ok won't be able to retire on it but hey thirty bucks is thirty bucks. Other good places to try, the beach, ploughed fields, market venues and especially travelling fairs, once they've left can be a gold mine. (No pun intended) People seem to have far too much money and seem to scatter it about, but hey they're loss it our gain. Make sure you ask for permission before you go onto someone's land and start digging it up, as it does tend to upset the landowner. You could offer to split any finds you make with them to get them on your side.
Make sure you stay on the right side of the law with your gold metal detector never ever ever go to archaeological sites it is illegal and you are found out and you will be you'll be prosecuted make no bones about it, don't do it. Declare all finds of gold to stay within the law and to help with identification of coins and medals go to museums and speak to one of the staff. I have known museums to buy certain valuable items and this way everybody gets to enjoy your find.
Your out with your detector and you happen to come accross captain Kidds lost treasure. Once you've dug it up and you've finished excavating fill the hole back in and make sure everthing is as you found it. Just show some respect, its pretty easy common sense.
