Kids metal detectors
The wide popularity of metal detectors for treasure hunting could not have been predicted by Alexander Graham Bell, when he used the first ever metal detector to try and find the bullet lodged somewhere in President Garfield’s body. The actual induction balance system was invented by a German scientist, actually a physicist with the soapy name of Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. Bell was unable to locate the bullet, because the old machines were very bulky and hard to handle because of the mass and weight, with all the vacuum tubes and batteries, furthermore, the metal bed interfered with the detector. The whole relic hunting movement started after the WWII, people started using metal detectors to go treasure hunting, looking for lost coins, looking for buried treasures, relics, artifacts and anything made out of metal with a value, even nuggets of gold and silver. This movement was so successful, several manufacturers were doing very good business with manufacturing such gadgets, which were not only being used for locating treasures, but also in the military for locating land mines. Other uses were discovered, like utility companies used such machines to locate pipes under the surface, mainly the ones which were not properly, or not at all, cartographed. Needless to say that many children got interested in the hobby the parents were following, so parents started to buy smaller metal detectors for kids, which they used in the back yard for treasure hunting and in the park for fun with other kids. Metal detectors as toys, especially for older children, became very popular, which led to the manufacture of special detectors which were built for children, smaller, more compact models, with a weight that could be carried by a kid. One of such metal detectors, which were built for children, is made by the very professional manufacturer Bounty Hunter. Of course is the metal detector named Bounty Hunter Junior and it is a serious model, with a capable and well functioning detecting capability. Good discrimination is built in, eliminating several targets that are not wanted, like iron or other metallic trash, spread by pollution or primitive waste disposal. There is a speaker built in, no headphone is being provided. It is very light, and it has an extendible shaft. The use is very simple, two knobs control all operations. The price is being kept very low, making it an ideal present to a kid interested in doing some relic hunting, it is currently held beneath seventy dollars, whereby the price in Europe is slightly higher, availability is limited.

Metal treasure detectors
For almost a century now, people have been enchanted with the prospect of treasure hunting by means of a metal detector. The reason why people started using a metal detector for this purpose is not known. Only stories of the manufacturers opting for the production of metal detectors seem to be inspired by such individuals seeking a portable metal detecting unit, in order to go prospecting for gold or silver, or with much more enthusiasm, looking for lost treasures. What started out as a last second decision by Alexander Graham Bell, to use a German invention, which was employed to detect ore, and try to locate the bullet lodged somewhere in the body of the dying president, James Garfield, developed into gadgets found in every other home and used for coin shooting or relic hunting. Older models were very bulky and heavy and hard to handle. They had vacuum tubes and huge batteries, weighted a lot and worked with very limited success. Nevertheless people started already in the thirties of the twentieth century to produce metal detectors for the relic hunting purpose. A small breakthrough happened during the World War II, when a polish scientist, who escaped the Nazis invasion in Poland, happened to meet with fellow soldiers trying to employ such a device for mine sweeping. The bulky machine did not work properly and the polish soldier changed the whole machine over into a working and portable model, which was employed very successfully for the mine sweeping purpose. Over a half a million units were thereafter produced by the military, in order to clean the mine fields left over by the retreating German troops. These machines were later mostly sold as surplus to individuals, starting the actual craze for relic hunting. Since that time, the community of such individuals just grew. The technology improved immensely and the micro chip invention provided the possibility of an affordable price but enhanced performance. Current machines surpass the capabilities of the original modes by a mile, allowing treasure hunters to accurately pinpoint valuables buried in the soil. Other places suitable for treasure hunting were discovered by the invention of a waterproof model, some are even submergible up to two hundred feet. Sandy beaches, the woods, vacant lots, ghost towns, back yards, camping places, abandoned picnic places, former and current trailer parks, public parks, old houses and many other places are nowadays frequented by the odd looking fellows with a buzzing machine and headphones, inching around with a slightly vacant look in their eyes. Watch out, the treasure hunters are on the loose!
