Out of all the metals searched by metal detectors, gold detecting and to some extent silver detecting is one of the most exciting experiences. It is seen that some people only learn the process of metal search for such valuable metals.
Gold deposits and even large gold nuggets and small flakes can be found in many parts of the world. Metal detecting involves a lot of field work and digging, while gold and silver detecting requires precision throughout the process in addition to labor and patience.
The physically demanding process can be reduced if you select the proper equipment and gear. For information, the largest nuggets are found quite deep into the earth's surface.
Make sure you use gold detectors of higher operating frequency as chances to find gold flakes gets doubled due to the sensitivity of such metal detectors.
Some facts about gold detecting are as follows
Chances of directly finding buried deposits of fine gold are less but new high end technology supported gold detecting equipment may spring some surprises.
If the ground is homogenous, digging and controlling the equipment is easy.
With advanced metal detectors, you can have an easy metal search even at places which have no or little traces of water.
Follow History
No doubt, with technology added to metal detecting, chances of finding gold and other metal flakes in failed places (where such excavations haven't yielded any results) are good enough but on the tougher side. Also, like many other metals even gold is limited to some places only.
Places where such deposits have been unearthed earlier should be the first targets of metal detecting professionals and even hobbyists. Look for such information over the internet and make sure you learn from the experiences of people who have used the detectors.
Invest in the Best Quality Instruments
Metal detectors and accessories of the highest quality will cost you more but the functions and the overall ability is better. Gold detecting involves patience and the results not only depend on skills but also on the accuracy of your equipment.
Lastly, metal detecting is all about hearing those small noises, so make sure you use a good headphone as nuggets are known to emit faint sounds. In addition, go for bounty hunters, pin-pointers, carry bags, travel cases and coils invest of the best equipment for best results.
