As an archaeologist with more than 30 years in the business, many of them spent in the field with a detector in my hand, I found that there was very little support for the metal detecting on archaeological resources.   Guidelines and resources where  few and metal detecting was still somewhat vilified, recently there has been a big swing of acceptance with a big push by groups like the AMDA (Advanced Metal Detecting for the Archaeologist), the NPS introduction to metal detecting, and the Montpelier archaeology program.  With the acceptance where does the archaeologist go to shop for metal detectors?  In the past is was either deal with guys selling to mostly relic collectors or the big box stores that could not answer the necessary questions.    Metal Detecting Solutions is your solution as we as a company know archaeology and what works.
