Metal Detectors

Gold prospectors and relic hunters rejoice! BCF are here to guide you toward your next treasure with a range of premium metal detectors to suit your needs. Each offering different technical and operational features and performance characteristics, BCF metal detectors can be used for a variety of prospecting activities.

For general purpose treasure hunting, the Minelab Go-Find Metal Detectors are a cracker choice for all-purpose metal detecting, with pinpointing abilities and 2 or 4 mode discrimination features to eliminate trash and junk metal.

What is the best metal detector?

Deciding what metal detector is best for you, you first need to research what targets are more likely to be found in your area. While some metal detectors come with ground balancing to read high-concentration soils better, they're only designed for use in one area. If you plan to cover more ground, you'll need to find a detector that can be adjusted for different regions (and don't forget to check the weight of the detector for portability).

The BCF metal detectors also come with the ability to ignore certain frequencies. This feature is known as discrimination and works by distinguishing one target from another to rule out the search for certain materials. Once you've set the rules for discrimination, check the metal detector's LCD screen for what you've found as the target identification will differentiate between coins, jewellery and junk.

It's also important to check the sensitivity and search depth of the metal detector you're purchasing. Sensitivity levels indicate the machines ability to detect metal from a distance, while the depth is how deep below ground the coil is able to pick up frequencies of metal. BCF's metal detectors have coils from 8-10 inches and will typically find metal 8-10 inches deep.
