reccomended detecting excercises?

Swing less, find more ;-)

What I mean is, don't swing the whole day, make some short breaks e.g. 10 minutes every two hours. It's also good for your concentration.

Thanks for the advice. My enthusiasm causes me to forget to take a break. That would probably help greatly!

Stretching and knee exercises.

Don't know about wrists. I do some hand dexterity and strength exercises to delay Dupuytren's Contracture problems.

Thanks. I am now working on a gym routine I think once I get in the swing of things and more regular with the weights it will help the detecting.

Squats, dead lifts, bench presses, rows, and overhead presses make up a good, solid, core routine. Add to that some bicep curls and forearm curls (good for swinging a detector), triceps extensions, calf raises & sit-ups.

thanks for the advice!

Learn to not look at the detector. The tones should be enough. Walking with the head bowed down is bad posture and has consequences.
Devise a sling. One guy made one out of a baby carrier.
Head up, steady walk. The head up also keeps you from walking into trees.

I have heard of some that will throw pennies in front of MD'ers that walk with head down to fool them.

I have found myself looking at it and definitely getting a sore neck. Thanks.

Switch to a Deus. 1.9 pounds. We are all wearing ourselves out, knees, back, everything swinging heavy machines.

I've felt the Deus it's like a paper airplane in weight!!!

I have found over the years that bending and stretching exercises, combined with targeted curls can be VERY beneficial.

1) BEND down and firmly open the cooler

2) STRETCH and fully extend both arms into the cooler and firmly grasp an 8-ounce (16-oz if you are advanced) beer in each hand

3) Return to the standing up straight position, open both beers, and do alternating 8-oz CURLS from your waist, to your mouth

Thanks for the wise advice! Haha.

Thank you I will try wearing less clothing next time I get out there.

Metal detecting is the best excercise for metal detecting!


I can swing ambidextrous and do so. Its imho not difficult once you acquire a certain routine.

I suggest using a good metal detector so you don't have to bend over so much

I had to sit out about a year one time. First week back I stiff and sore all over. It didn't take long it all went away and I dropped 15 lbs.

Devise a way to incorporate a detector in shoes. Then walk along singing "The Happy Wanderer".
