To make the task easier you will also need to have a handful of metal detector accessories. Where you anticipate carrying out your treasure hunting will determine which accessories you'll need most. If you are performing your metal detecting on dry land or on the beach front you'll need one set of accessories. For treasure hunting under water, you need a different set.

Metal Detector Accessories Essential In Water

Really there are three main accessories you will need for water treasure hunting. You need a water scoop. You'll need a pouch to carry around the accessories. And obviously you need another pouch or box to store all the treasures you'll be locating.

The sunspot scoop is probably the most common used for water metal detecting, despite the fact that there are lots of alternatives available. Smaller things might at times drop through a sunspot scoop, but generally this is a sensible choice.

This particular scoop comes with a wood handle and the handle stays upright. The upright handle makes it much simpler to pull up once the time comes. This may be a little challenging when there are larger waves. It is best to hold the scoop in such a way that it faces the sea. Practice initially. Make use of the scoop on the sand and when you have the process down, then take it out in the waves.

We mentioned that you also will want a treasure hunting pouch. These are needed to keep anything you pick up. It is important that your pouch have zipper system. The pouch should if at all possible be made of plastic. Some pouches are made of metal however you always run the risk of it corroding in salt water.

And depending on how deep you intend on going in the water, you may want waders or wet suits along with gloves, boots, and possibly a snorkel along with a mask if you plan to venture out somewhat farther.

Dry Land Metal Detector Accessories

Needless to say you'll need the proper clothes. Its not necessary to purchase something new for this. Just some aged jeans or shorts perform great.

Given that you will be digging up items from underneath the ground or sand, you'll need something to dig with. Not too long ago, basic gardening trowels were used for this purpose. You can even visit your local Army Navy store and purchase a hunting knife. On the other hand we now have innovative digging tools which are considerably more effective.

Garret pocket probe and a beach or sand scoop are some of the other metal detector accessories designed to be used on the beach.
