About This Website

I created this website to provide information about prospecting and metal detecting. I got started prospecting in the early 70s and purchased my first metal detector, a White's Coinmaster 4 in 1972. I have been at it ever since.

I was involved directly in the business for 40 years as a multi-line dealer. However, my partner and I sold our business to the employees in 2010 and now I am a guy enjoying life.  This website is a fun project that offsets its costs with Google Ads. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. All I can do is to promise not to go overboard with them. There is no vested interest here in people buying or using any particular product or equipment.

This site is not related to any manufacturer or dealer sites and is for informational purposes only. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. There are no warranties expressed or implied as to the results obtained from the use of the information contained on this site. Any opinions expressed are just that - opinions, and should not be relied upon as a sole factor in making decisions.
