Applications

Coinshooting is searching for coins, usually in places like parks, schoolyards, church lawns, and people’s yards.
Relic Hunting is searching for historical artifacts.
Gold Prospecting is searching for the gold. To be a successful prospector, learn the geology of the area your are prospecting, learn what geological processes created the gold, learn to identify the various rock and mineral types which are typical of that area.
Hillsides are the best areas for gold prospecting using a metal detector, because hillsides cannot be cleaned put by panning and dredging the way streams can.
