Hi folks, my name is Roger, aka Dirtscanner on some metal detecting forums , I am a Metal Detecting Hobbyist from New England. I began metal detecting sometime around 2001 and I decided to create this website to further enjoy what has become my favorite pastime. I enjoy sharing information with others and learning what I can from others, that hunt with metal detectors.
You can never gather or share too much information on this great hobby because, I don’t know about you but I am learning every day and the more I can learn the better I become at it.
I hope that my postings will benefit you whether you are new to the hobby and just looking for information, or you are a seasoned veteran of metal detecting like me looking for other opinions or just wanting to see pictures and read stories about what others are finding in the ground.
I am an avid beach hunter, but I also hunt parks, homes and wooded areas, anywhere there is history or treasure to be found I will swing my metal detector and dig targets.
On this website you will find topics like, what equipment do I need? What is the code of ethics or proper etiquette? when do I need to ask permission?, how do I clean my finds, or should I perform electrolysis, etc?
I will be posting researched facts and some of my opinions on all aspects of metal detecting, as well as the different types of detectors, handheld pin-pointers, digging tools, headphones, etc. The where, when and how of beach detecting, the best time to hunt parks and other popular spots, and anything else that I can think of that might be of importance to others that swing metal detectors.
Check out my finds page where I will post some of my finds and talk about how it all happened, depth, signal, etc. Be sure to come back as I will update my finds and other information on a regular basis.
Also be sure and check out my other categories and posts, where I will be writing regularly about different topics related to metal detecting. Hopefully you will find those writings interesting, helpful and/or maybe even entertaining in some way.
Thanks for checking the website out and make sure and bookmark this page and come back again for updates.
Happy Hunting!
