Treasure Locations

A question most new detectorists ask is,

“where do I nd treasure”? There are actually

lots of areas in which you can search. It is

best if you research where people have been

in the past, what type of objects they might

have had with them, and hopefully lost. You

can also go to areas people still use on a daily

basis such as the beach or parks, and search

for modern coins and jewellery.

Here is a list of some of the more productive

places to search:

– Your own backyard

– The beach

– Showgrounds & racecourses

– Picnic areas

– Battleelds

– Camping grounds

– Swimming holes

– Parks and playgrounds

– Ghost towns & ancient town sites

– Old homes & public buildings

– Old gold mining sites

– Sports grounds

– School yards and ovals

– Around jetties and piers

– Drive-in theatres

There is a chance of nding buried treasure,

such as coins, relics and jewellery, anywhere

that people have been in the past. In order

to maximise your return, select sites that have

the most potential.

For example, a small park that is just used

as a walkway between houses is likely to

be littered with junk with very few valuable

targets in it. Whereas a larger old park with

picnic tables, playgrounds, etc. would have

had thousands of people sitting around,

playing sports, laying on blankets etc. and

you can almost be certain that there will be

some goodies waiting for your metal detector.

Be sure to obtain the land owners permission

before searching on private property, be sure

to also check local regulations.

Note: Always check your local regulations and

laws before detecting in a public or private area.

Always rell your holes. If you leave the

ground exactly as you found it, you shouldn’t

have any problem detecting the same area in

the future.

Recovering the Target

A trowel, knife or small spade are good tools

for recovering targets.

Once a target has been located, clear the

surface of loose material and check again for

a signal. If there is no signal then the target

is amongst the surface material. In this case,

search the surface material until the target

is located. If the target is still in the ground,

Pinpoint its position.

Using a sharp tool, cut a neat portion of grass

or soil and place it on a plastic sheet. This

prevents the material being scattered around

and allows the hole to be relled quickly.

Dig carefully to avoid defacing or devaluing

the object.

Ensure that no other targets remain, then rell

the hole. All soil and portions of grass on the

plastic sheet should be returned to the hole

as neatly as possible. Step lightly on the soil

to compact it.

Check the hole for the target. If it is not in

the hole, place the detector on the ground

with the coil at, pick up a handful of soil and

pass it over the coil. Be sure not to wear rings,

bracelets or a watch which will produce a

signal. Repeat this procedure until the target

is located.

Leaving holes, or a scarred area, may result

in action being taken to prevent the use

of metal detectors. Please ensure that you

remove all rubbish. The aim is to leave the

area of ground exactly as you found it.
