Metal Detecting Basics

Metal Detecting Basics presented by Walter Riddle, Four Lakes Metal Detecting Club.

Using a metal detector is a great way to experience the joys of treasure hunting. You get to enjoy the outdoors and maybe discover a bit of history.

Walter Riddle will cover the basics that every metal detectorist should know:

∗ How to metal detect and what equipment is needed

∗ Where to start looking

∗ Wisconsin’s laws about searching

∗ What to listen and look for

∗ What sort of treasures you can expect to find

∗ How to properly recover items

We’ll even take a walk outside the library to have a hands-on demonstration of metal detecting.
