Detecting Atlas: Know the Ground Before You Dig
A legal-first metal-detecting field guide covering access rules, detector choices, field technique, find identification, and beginner routes in the US and Europe.
Field notes
The site separates access research from detecting technique and find identification, giving each area its own navigation path rather than combining them in a general article feed. Its regional material starts with the land manager and local rule, including distinctions among public beaches, city parks, county restrictions, permits, and federal land. The homepage lists six US state guides, eight field lessons, three coin charts, and four detector comparisons, while cautioning that its map preview is not a permission boundary.
