A veteran of the U.S. Marines, Jon Daniel “Dan” Fasano is a product designer and exporter at Kalalou in Jackson, Mississippi. Jon Dan Fasano creates welded metal designs for furniture and other pieces and is also experienced in architectural restoration. His pastimes include boating, hunting, camping, and using a metal detector.
Metal detecting can serve as a very relaxing hobby. Not only can locating old coins, relics, and pieces of jewelry help a person learn more about the people who had lived or traveled to a particular place at some point in the past, it also exposes the treasure hunter to the tranquility of nature out in the fresh air. Often, treasure hunters do a preliminary study of an area of interest to learn about potential treasures (known as target metals) - this may help them determine the best metal detector to purchase or bring along for the hunt. For instance, if their target area has a history with gold, the treasure hunter can use a metal detector that can specifically detect gold nuggets well.
When hunting, a metal detector transmits electromagnetic fields from a coil moved back and forth just above the ground. If metal is buried within the search area, the electromagnetic field triggers a brief excitation of electrons in the metal atoms. When the excited electrons return to their rest position, they release the absorbed energies in the form of unique electromagnetic fields that can be picked up by the search coil. If the received field falls within the spectrum of the target metal, the detector alerts the user.
