Free Metal Detecting Tips

Hunting in Iron infested Areas
Author: Internet Tip
How much iron and or mineralization is in the ground dictates how your threshold will react. In fairly clean areas you should be able to pump up the sensitivity to where you either lose the threshold to a null, or you get too much falsing from airborne interference, and still be able to swing the coil at a reasonable pace. As a general rule when you get a solid null, you should either put the sens in auto or just keep it about the 1 o'clock position or even minimum. The Sov will still see good targets through the null, but it won't get em real deep, for the most part 6 inches or less. Also you should slow your swing speed to a crawl and listen for little spikes of audio, once you hear something slow down even more and attack the spot that gave you that spike from a few different angles. If you get it more than one direction or it is pretty solid when wiggling (no more than in inch or so to each side of the signal) the coil quickly over the spot in one direction, then switch to all metal and see how much the target moves from where your getting it in disc. If it stays within an inch in all metal, is a quick response and doesn't blare at you like large iron would dig it. One thing that's a dead give away of a false of a rusty nail is when you get a quiet signal in disc but a blast in all metal or a drawn out response in all metal, coins and most good targets give a quick blip in all metal while iron and junk will almost seem like the signal is pulling your coil towards it in a long drawn out response. Be careful and go slow when checking in all metal and listen for a short blip followed by that drawn out response, cause you have probably just located a coin near iron. It takes a bit of practice but it can be a killer in these spots as long as you go slow listen for any response and check them out thoroughly. Some people will say that its too time consuming or that its too much of a pain in the neck to have to go through all this, or that other machines would find these good targets easier, but if that's the case how come my Sov finds them in the spots that have been gone over by a hundred machines? I think you'll be amazed at what a good signal you'll get from a coin in these areas once you've locked on to the signal. Remember the secret to getting a response from iron areas is to keep the line of detection above the good target and not over the junk, don't swing the coil more than a couple inches to each side of the spot you got a response. Let the Sov analyze it and it will lock on. If you swing 6 inches off it the sov will need to null the trash and you will have to start all over. Its time consuming but you wont dig much junk in areas that other machines falsely ID'ed iron as a coin, so with that you more than make up for any lost time and do less digging.

I'll never forget the first time I swung a metal detector and it BEEPED! I dug up my treasure and I held that shiny circle of metal in my hand--a quarter!! Wow! A whole twenty-five cents! Since then I have treasured hunted all over the world. This site has info on sarasota treasure hunting and hopefully anything else you need to know about metal detecting, treasure hunting, and finding gold!

Good luck!

Montana's most intact ghost town wasn't built to last. Enterprising miners were more interested in extracting the riches below ground than building above. As a result, buildings grew quickly, most lacking foundations. They were small and easy to heat.

Yet, a century after Garnet emerged, remnants of the town stayed hidden high in the Garnet Mountain Range east of Missoula. It was named for the semi-precious ruby-colored stone found in the area.

Garnet was a good place to live. The surrounding mountains were rich in gold-bearing quartz. There was a school. The crime rate was low. Liquor flowed freely in the town's many saloons. The bawdy houses did brisk business. Missoula and Deer Lodge were just close enough for necessary supplies.

In the 1860s miners migrated north from played-out placer mines in California and Colorado. The Garnet Mountains attracted miners who collected the gold first by panning, and then by using rockers and sluice boxes as the free-floating gold diminished.

Placer mining of gold or other minerals is done by washing the sand, gravel, etc. with running water, but by 1870 most area placer mining was no longer profitable. Although miners had located gold-bearing quartz veins, the lack of decent roads and refined extracting and smelting techniques made further development unfeasible at that time. Silver mines elsewhere drew the miners out of the Garnets.

In 1895, the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act set off a panic throughout the region. Silver miners closed, and within weeks thousands of unemployed miners were on the move. This event, combined with improved technology, led to a renewed interest in gold mining in the Garnets. Miners began a steady trickle back.

At the head of First Chance Gulch in 1895, Dr. Armistead Mitchell erected a stamp mill to crush local ore. Around it grew the town of Garnet. The town was originally named Mitchell, but in 1897 it became known as Garnet.

Soon after Mitchell erected his mill, Sam Ritchey hit a rich vein of ore in his Nancy Hanks mine (first photo above) just west of town. The "boom" began. By January 1898 nearly 1,000 people resided in Garnet. Four stores, four hotels, three livery stables, two barber shops, a union hall, a school with 41 students, a butcher shop, a candy shop, a doctor's office, an assay office, and thirteen saloons, comprised the town. Eager miners and entrepreneurs built quickly and without planning. A haphazard community resulted. Most of the buildings stood on existing or future mining claims. About twenty mines operated.

After 1900 many mine owners leased their mines out, the gold became scarcer and harder to mine. The Nancy Hanks yielded about $300,000 worth of gold. An estimated $950,000 was extracted from all the mines in Garnet by 1917.

By 1905, many of the mines were abandoned and the town's population had shrunk to about 150. A fire in the town's business district in 1912 destroyed many commercial buildings and death dealt a blow to the remnants of Garnet. The coming of World War I drew most remaining residents away to defense-related jobs. By the 1920s Garnet was a ghost town. Cabins were abandoned, furnishings included, as though residents were merely vacationing. F.A. Davey still ran the store however, and the hotel stood intact.

In 1934 when President Roosevelt raised gold prices from $16 to $32 an ounce, Garnet revived. A new wave of miners moved into abandoned cabins and began reworking the mines and dumps.

World War II drew the population away again. The use of dynamite for domestic purposes was curtailed, making mining difficult. Garnet again became a ghost town. Once again F.A. Davey and a few others remained.

Several new cabins were constructed following the war, and in 1948 an auction was held with items from the Davey store. Much remained however, and souvenir hunters soon stripped the town not only of loose items, but of doors, woodwork, wallpaper, and even the hotel stairway.

The future of this historic town now depends on the work of volunteers and contributions from the public..

Society in Garnet differed from that of earlier mining camps. While single males were predominant in the early mining camp, Garnet had a larger number of families. Social life therefore was quite different. Although drinking, gambling, and houses of prostitution were still enjoyed by men, married women were far more numerous in Garnet. They rarely visited the saloons and only went to the business district to shop for necessary food and clothing. Also, unlike earlier camps, a school house was established in Garnet soon after it's founding.

A variety of social activities were available to the residents of Garnet. Family-oriented activates, such as dinner parties, card games and hay rides were common. Family picnics, fishing trips, and shopping trips took place during the summer months. Sleigh-rides, sledding parties, and skiing were favorites in the wintertime.

One of the largest community celebrations in Garnet was the annual Miners Union Day gathering held at the Miners Union Hall. Many of the social functions wee held at the Hall, which was completed in June of 1898. Community dances were held there every Saturday night, and in the early years of Garnet's history, there were often three or four social functions a week. The Hall with its one large room and small stage often was scarcely large enough for the crowd.
