Advanced Calibration Settings

Without proper calibration, your mobile detector can react to ferrous metals or interference—a real pain! So, spending a few minutes adjusting thresholds and smoothing can make the difference between a real find and a false alarm.

Next, we'll show you how to set specific thresholds for gold and silver, filter out ambient noise, and perform periodic calibrations based on the terrain. Ready to get started? Follow these steps and you'll experience the precision of professional equipment... without breaking the bank.

Expert calibration step by step

Figure eight movements: When you launch the app, turn on auto-calibration and move your phone in a slow figure eight for 10–15 seconds, moving away from cars or metal poles.
Threshold adjustment: Set a minimum detection value (5–15 µT) to ignore weak fields; then refine toward 20–30 µT if you are searching for depth in buried gold.
Smoothing mode: Activates the moving average (1–2 s) to eliminate sharp jumps and improve the stability of the digital needle or graph.
Cross-checking: Check the response next to a known coin; if the signal takes longer than 0.5 s, increase the sensitivity.
Periodic recalibration: Repeat the process every 15–20 minutes or when changing areas; the magnetic field varies depending on the building and geography.

With these settings, your readings will be solid and you'll avoid false alarms, enjoying efficient scanning in any environment.

Treasure Exploration Techniques

To get the most out of your mobile detector, adopt professional tracking methods:

Grid search: divides the area into 1 × 1 m cells and advances slowly in horizontal and vertical passes, marking the points with the greatest signal with flags.
Spiral pattern: Ideal for open areas; starts in the center and expands in increasing circles, ensuring even coverage.
Peak interpretationA sharp, rapid spike usually indicates ferrous metals; a soft, sustained spike indicates gold or silver. Adjust your threshold based on the signal's amplitude and duration.
GPS log: Enable geotagging of finds to create a heat map, allowing you to plan future routes and compare object density.
Depth estimationSome apps calculate approximate distance (cm) based on intensity; combine this data with the signal to plan safe excavations.

With practice and method, each expedition will be more productive and allow you to focus on the truly valuable discoveries.

Find precious metals with your mobile phone

Ethics and permits in exploration

Responsibility is key to protecting assets and relationships:

Land permit: Before searching, ask the owner for permission; unauthorised searching may be considered trespassing.
Archaeological protectionIn historic areas, avoid excavating; contact experts if you suspect valuable remains.
Safety from dangerous objectsIf you detect buried ammunition, glass, or cables, mark the area and notify the authorities for safe removal.
Location PrivacyWhen sharing your findings, please omit exact coordinates on public networks; this way, you can prevent looting and preserve the sites.
Good practicesCover holes after inspection and respect local flora and fauna; your reputation as a responsible detectorist will depend on it.

Acting ethically and cautiously ensures that we can all enjoy this hobby safely and legally.
