Beach Detectors

In Australia, Metal Detectors are so popular and that’s because we have so much amazing country to explore and uncover hidden treasures that have been hiding just out of site for years, decades and even centuries.

One of the fastest growing styles of detecting is Beach Metal Detecting. Beach detecting is a whole lot of fun and is an excellent way of finding all sorts of lost treasures, from old and new coins, relics and of course gold and silver jewellery.

Every day we see people finding amazing things when out metal detecting Australia's beaches and often their finds can be quite valuable and or rare. In fact, more treasures and valuable targets are found on beaches in Australia than in any other type of ground, so it's no wonder more and more people are hitting the beach with their detector.

Beach detecting has a lot of health benefits as well. It offers easy, low impact exercise, gets you out in the fresh sea air and can be done by any age group or fitness level. Kids and adults alike can spend hours along the shoreline or on the dry sand looking for targets.

As modern metal detectors are very light and compact, they are easy to pack in the car and take to any day out at the beach. So no more having to entertain the youngsters while you are trying to relax and take in the sun, they will be entertaining themselves and having a whole lot of fun at the same time. 

When looking for a beach metal detector there are a few things to keep in mind as not all detectors can handle the high salt and mineralisation of sand, especially wet sand. Wet sand can cause a great deal of interference if you are using a detector that isn’t suitable for beach detecting, so pick a machine that can handle beach conditions to avoid disappointment.

Having a waterproof search coil is also a must. Using a detector that doesn’t have a waterproof coil can lead to obvious damage, which nobody wants to see happen.

Of course all of our beach detectors are designed with this in mind, so you can detect on wet or dry sand and in the shallows without ever having to worry about ruining your detector. We even have some detectors that can be fully submerged so you can snorkel and scuba dive with them.

All the detectors listed on this page are designed to handle beach detecting but can also be used for all other types of metal detecting and treasure hunting, such as in parks, fields and bush land. Some, like the Teknetics G2+ and Teknetics T2 are even designed to be used for gold detecting! So when you are buying one of our beach detectors you are also buying a powerful, multi purpose and very versatile machine that you are going to love for years to come.
