TRI COUNTY METAL DETECTOR CLUB

April 12, 2015 at 12:00a.m.

Meetings are the third Tuesday of every month.

It costs about $200 to buy an adequate metal detector suitable for a beginner.

For information on the club or to seek free help in finding a lost item, call 330-442-4704.

A hobby metal detector works much like the ones used at the airport by sensing conductivity in an object and sending audible or visual information to the user, such as the size of the item or how deep in the ground it is. The limit below ground is about 12 inches.
