Which Metal Detector is Best for Beaches

If you spend a lot of time at the beach, you may be interested in doing a bit of metal detecting to see if you can find some lost treasure! When it comes to finding the best metal detector for beaches, there are a number of things you need to consider. Obviously, the beach introduces environmental factors like sand and water to your metal detector so you want to be sure you’re choosing a model that will stand up to these factors. At Serious Metal Detecting we have a number of metal detectors that will work great for those looking to hunt for treasure at the beach and we thought it would be a good idea to showcase a few of these models for our customers.

What to Look for in a Beach Metal Detector

The main reason that some metal detectors aren’t well suited for beaches is due to the high mineralization of salt water. Salt water amplifies the signal of normal ground minerals which can cause standard detectors to produce a large number of false signals. If your budget is tight, you’ll probably want to look for a VLF (Very Low Frequency) metal detector with a ground adjust control. The ground adjust feature will allow you to adjust for the amount of mineralization on the beach. If you’re looking for the best metal detector for use at the beach, you’ll want to purchase a PI (Pulse Induction) metal detector. These units are able to ignore the mineralization that’s present at the beach and allow you to quickly and easily get to hunting for treasure!
