Forget screens. Forget schedules.
If you’re looking for a way to get outside, spend time with your kids, and turn everyday outings into unforgettable stories — metal detecting might be the adventure you didn’t know your family needed.
👣 More Than a Hobby — It’s a Quest
Metal detecting is more than hunting for coins or relics — it’s a treasure hunt that connects generations. Whether you’re walking a local trail, exploring a beach, or planning a road trip, a detector turns any location into a live-action adventure.
Kids don’t just tag along — they lead the search, learn history, and celebrate every beep like it is gold (sometimes it is).
🗺️ Planning a Family Detecting Trip
You don’t need a passport or plane tickets to make memories. Here’s how to start:
-
Pick a destination with potential
Parks, old fairgrounds, lakeshores, or even your backyard. Make sure it’s legal to detect there. -
Build your gear list
-
Adult metal detector (We offer a starter bundle!)
-
Lightweight kids detector (We have those too!)
-
Sand scoops, gloves, and a pouch for the loot
- If you're planning an overnight trip don't forget your camping gear! (Shop our tents)
-
-
Pack snacks, water, and a sense of humor
Because the real treasure is the experience. -
Set a challenge
“Who can find the oldest coin?” or “Let’s dig up five mystery objects before lunch.”
