The role of frequency in metal detection
Metal detection technology harnesses electromagnetic fields to locate metal objects in diverse environments, from security to treasure hunting. Understanding how different types of technology—like VLF, PI, and BFO—work and choosing the correct frequency are crucial for optimizing detection capabilities. Each metal detection technique offers unique benefits and challenges, driven by the physics of how metallic objects interact with electromagnetic fields. From uncovering deeply buried treasures to identifying small, fine objects like gold nuggets, the choice of frequency directly impacts detection depth, sensitivity, and the overall success of the endeavor.
