Here are some links to some of the metal detecting sites that I like and
frequent. One thing I can recommend to anyone in the hobby: be active online.
There is a growing population of detectorists that are online, each sharing
their wisdom and experiences. It is a wealth of knowledge that can really
come in handy.
