The Smart Way To Strike Gold With Metal Detectors
By Steve J Carter
If you’ve lived near a beach, you’ve probably been enchanted by the idea of buried pirate’s treasure, of gold coins and mouldy chests filled to bursting with pearls and rubies. You probably even spent some time searching. More than likely, the most you ever found were a couple of quarters and maybe some random junk jewellery, but you probably remember the excitement when your detector started beeping frantically. While you may not be able to get rich searching for pirate’s gold, there may be at least one other way to cash in on your metal detector.
Metal detectors are fun toys, which you can probably attest to if you used one, but perhaps a little bit disappointing in their actuality. People often forget that metal detectors can only sense metals that are buried a foot or less in the ground, usually in a strata that has been recently turned for one reason or another. Whether they know this or not, people can still be charmed into renting a metal detector for a few hours and that’s where you come in!
Perhaps you were an avid beach comber once upon a time, or perhaps you acquired your metal detector on a whim and become discouraged by how many soda cans you turned up. Maybe you inherited it from a moving friend and have no idea how to use it. Regardless, you have a metal detector and very little use for it. If you live near a touristy area, you can rent out your metal detector to people who are interested in playing treasure hunter for an afternoon. People are often tickled by the novelty and will enjoy the time spent treasure hunting.
When renting out your metal detector, consider a rental rate of ten dollars for two hours, with a discount of fifteen dollars for four hours. You may also want to provide them with a bucket and small plastic shovel, something they can carry around easily. With enough interest and given the fact that tourists are a lot that turn over literally every day, you’ll be able to keep your audience fresh and delighted by the service you offer. Even if they don’t turn up anything besides a few nickels and maybe some lost jewellery, you are still selling an experience that they can talk about at home, and isn’t that one of the fun parts about a vacation?
If you live in a resort area, and local laws allow it, renting beach-combing equipment like metal detectors can make you quite a bit of cash. As good metal detectors tend to run under 200 dollars on Ebay, you can make back your investment within a few days, so what are you waiting for? There’s a whole generation of treasure hunters waiting for you!
