Using a metal detector to search for Pennsylvania
lost treasure is a must have tool. Before the days of metal detectors
the chance of locating buried treasures was not a very high percentage
adventure. However, today’s modern detectors give anyone with the desire
to locate a treasure, a much better chance of finding one.
If you do not own a metal detector and you are thinking of purchasing one, do not over spend. Too often, newcomers to the hobby buy expensive detectors only to discover nothing but confusion about how to use their new model.
If you spend between $350-$450 on a new model, that is good enough. Just read the owners manual, and practice with your detector, and you will do fine. Move up to the high end models after you have become proficient in the hobby.
Good luck! And have fun in your search for Pennsylvania lost treasure.
