Metal Detecting 31 April 2023 Club Meeting

  • Viking Athletic & Activity Complex 541 East Slocum Street Whitehall, MI, 49461 United States (map)

Metal Detecting 31 is an in-person interest club for people to meet-up whom enjoy the hobby of metal detecting and that are located along Michigan's US 31 & Lakeshore region.

This month’s topic will be - “Gold - Understanding its Signals”

Gold is something almost every detectorist sets out to find in one form or another, but it can be extremely elusive if you’re not sure what to listen or look for while detecting.

Gold can be extremely elusive because it is defined as a “trash” metal when it comes to the sliding scale of elements your detector give you on its readout.

During this month’s meeting, we’ll be testing various gold targets with several different metal detectors to see how and if they respond to each gold target depending on shape, size, thickness, and purity of gold within the target. We hope you learn a little bit more about what your detector says when swinging over a gold target so that you may find even more treasure on each of your hunts!
