What is the farthest depth a metal detector works?
Most metal detectors can detect objects about 4-8ʺ (10 – 20 cm) deep. In ideal conditions, a mid-range metal detector can reach 12-18ʺ (30-45 cm) underground. Some specialized detectors can go as deep as 65′ (20 m).
Why are metal detectors banned?
The Antiquities Act of 1906 and The Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 are federal laws that were created to protect history and make it illegal in almost all cases to metal detect on federal land. Metal detectors are banned in all US federal and national parks.
What do you call a metal detector person?
There are millions of metal detectors out there. I also learned from Western & Eastern Treasures that people who metal detect are called “metal detectorists.” It was gratifying we had our own “ist” like numismatists, philatelists, or contortionists.

The Garrett ACE 300 works on an adjustable 8 kHz frequency whereas the Garrett ACE 400 has a higher adjustable 10 kHz frequency. Higher frequency metal detectors have shorter wavelengths and are better for finding small things like tiny gold nuggets whereas lower frequencies penetrate further into the ground.
