Metal Detecting In Southern Mn

I received a few e-mails this week regarding metal detecting in Southern Mn. A person has to use the same concept as if you were metal detecting in Northern Minnesota. I like parks best,and campsites,and where people associated with another.Such as picnics,gatherings,and events. This part of the state is farm country,and I've been metal detecting this area,and farms can be a challenge.There is just so much junk in the ground,that it becomes majorly frustrating. I guess I could some it up,a good spot is where you find it. If you have a cheaper detector,just know you'll have a long day digging up iron nails,and various other farm artifacts that are classified in the "junk department". I've been in the St James Mn area,and explored some around Manakto.There is alot of ground to cover down here,and some locations are clearly better than others of course,and that rule applies where ever you may be metal detecting in Minnesota.

Metal Detecting In Wisconsin

I'd like to hear more stories from others,about their finds when it comes to metal detecting in Wisconsin. I know some time back,there was a gentleman I ran into in the very early spring,and he was metal detecting in in the state park there at St Croix Falls. The park was closed,and there was nobody around to bother him,and do admit he had a good thing going for him that day. I'm sure where ever there is beautiful scenery,people for 100's of years have gathered in those locations to enjoy it,so natural attractions are a nice place to detect if you can get away with it. So if any of you have some stories you'd like to share about your Wisconsin metal detecting experiences,I'd love to hear from you. I'm sure there is some good stories to tell,and some great finds there as well. I assume Minnesota & Wisconsin are pretty much on the same level as far as the various minerals there in the ground.So I don't expect to read about gold nuggets that have been found there,but I bet you there has been some great,and interesting find there none the less. If I can ever afford a road trip,perhaps someday I'll get outh there,and do some metal detecting in Wisconsin.For now,I'm stuck here digging up nails in farm fields. I know some day I'll strinke it rich..hahahahaha..:)

Best To Buy Metal Detectors Online

I get asked this question often.Where is the best place to buy a metal detector online.

The truth is,there all pretty much priced the same no matter where you buy.So one shop on the East Coast,won't be any cheaper than a shop on the West Coast.

In my opinion the best place to buy metal detectors online would probably be at Amazon,or the official website of the manufacturer.Usually same day shipping,and also free shipping included with the sale.

That's where I shop even for my metal detector gear.It's just easier,and in most cases save money just doing business there.Alot of these stores,and shops charge to much for their over-head in my opinion.

I don't need anyone showing me how to work one,when a person gets detailed directions with one,and in most cases they even throw in a "how-to video" that really gets a person started on the right track.

So when it comes to the best places to buy metal detectors I'd try them.

Perhaps in the future I'll add a link with all the models they have,and they have a pretty good variety and brands of metal detectors to choose from,than any store would ever have in stock.


Pluse alot of dealers in detector sales stick to one,two,or three brands,and that brand is usually a model they get the most commission from,and that really don't help a customer when he's trying to choose the best model for him,and with choosing,the price range is a big factor when deciding which metal detector to buy.

Online metal detector sales are pretty much the same price as a dealer.If you can figure out how to work a microwave oven,you can pretty much figure out how to work the unit you buy.

The best place to buy a metal detector,is where you get the best price,and the warranty comes with it.

Do you need a car salesman to show you how to drive the car off the lot?

Of course not!

"Nor" do you need a salesman giving you the pitch on how to find coins,relics,or what have you in the ground,with his little trash can with sand with coins,and jewelry in.

The dealers main job is to sell it to you,and he'll talk..and walk the walk when doing so..LOL

Bring some of these dealers out in the field,and odds are these tards couldn't sell one if their life depended on it,but they are a professional in the store,and a die hard metal detector enthusiast to your ears.

We're getting letters from readers,and hope to help those more interested in online metal dector sales.So keep checking back.

Honest reviews,and those who contribute their thoughts here,none of them have swamp land in Florida for sale.
