KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Metal Detecting, LLC dba Kellyco Metal Detectors (Kellyco) announced today that it has been acquired by its current President Jeremy Floyd. Floyd has led Kellyco, previously an affiliate of Knoxville-based investment firm Mollenhour Gross, LLC, since 2018.

Experienced detectorists may want to look into Fisher, Garrett, Minelab, and XP metal detectors because they are trusted brands known for their longstanding quality. You also want to find a detector that can distinguish between junk and a metal object that's valuable, like gold nuggets and jewelry relics.

Welcome to Kellyco Metal Detectors, your one-stop shop for the world's best Metal Detectors, Treasure Hunting Supplies and Metal Detector Accessories. Kellyco is located Casselberry, FL (north of Orlando).

Metal detectors transmit a magnetic field that is disturbed by a metallic object, which sets off a light or audio signal. Two types of metal detectors are handheld and walkthrough. X-ray scanners use pulsed energy to penetrate objects that are shown on a color monitor.

Please give us your feedback and review of your best metal detectors, we welcome any and all conversation!

Fisher Research Labs From its simple beginnings in Fisher's garage, Fisher Research Labs is a made-in-America success story. The world's oldest metal detector business, Fisher Labs uses the latest in technology to build the most trusted products in the industry.

Best overall: Minelab Equinox The Equinox is one of the most versatile machines out there. With multiple simultaneous frequency responses from 5 – 40 kHz, this detector is as capable of nosing into a patch of gold as it is turning up ancient coins, spearheads, and jewelry - all without committing to a mode in advance.

10 to 16 inches Most metal detectors can detect coins at an average maximum depth of 10 to 16 inches. Metal detectors transmit radio frequency signals from the search coil to locate the targets from the ground's surface to a depth of over 20 feet for large deep treasures.

The operation of metal detectors is based upon the principles of electromagnetic induction. Metal detectors contain one or more inductor coils that are used to interact with metallic elements on the ground. The single-coil detector illustrated below is a simplified version of one used in a real metal detector.

Are you curious about metal detecting, and wondering how deep a metal detector can go? Most metal detectors can detect objects about 4-8ʺ (10 - 20 cm) deep. In ideal conditions, a mid-range metal detector can reach 12-18ʺ (30-45 cm) underground. Some specialized detectors can go as deep as 65' (20 m).

Most metal detectors can reach 6-8ʺ (15 - 20 cm) deep, on average. Some specialty metal detectors can go up to 65ʹ (20 m) deep. But, the specific depth you can reach depends on other factors, like those included below. Frequency your metal detector operates at.

Known as the “Boot of Cortez,” it remains the largest gold nugget ever recovered in the Western Hemisphere. The original discoverer reportedly sold it to his boss for $30,000 and it has changed hands many times since. In 2008, the Boot of Cortez sold at auction for $1,553,500.

Metal detectors have a tough time detecting metals like stainless steel, which have very poor electrical conductivity. Stainless steel has low magnetic permeability, which means it does not produce a signal strong enough to be detected. Other items that metal detectors won't be able to locate include: Gemstones.
