Hello Treasure Hunters par Excellance - Happy New Year's 2007
. I have never done too much metal detecting, most of my research is done in archives; however, I really would like to start metal detecting on some of the beaches near my home in San Francisco.
There are a wide variety of substrates and beach matrix - ranging from basaltic black sand, to white silica-rich sand, to shores consisting of almost entirely pebble and rock-sized aggregates. Just from reading testimonials and company literature, I was narrowing down my choice to the Surf PI Pro Metal Detector.
This may also be a silly question, but can a metal detector pick up a signature for pottery that contains a significant amount of iron or lead glaze?
Best Regards to You All,
