We only see a small range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible section is labeled on the illustration above. Other ranges of the spectrum can be sensed though, especially using instruments designed for the purpose.

Metal detector frequencies can range anywhere from 1.5 kHz per second to 100 kHz per second. However, to be fair, most metal detectors operate between frequencies of 5 kHz per second and 25 kHz per second. This means that a standard metal detector is able to send between 5,000 and 25,000 electromagnetic waves to the ground every second.

Here is an archaeological report on an investigation of St. Vinent Island, a barrier island in North Florida.

Below is an excerpt from that report.

British archaeologists are concerned that the Government of Jersey’s decision to pay £4.5m to purchase the Le Catillon II coin hoard against official advice has set a “damaging” precedent for valuations that will affect museums’ ability to keep important historic finds in public ownership both locally and across the water.

According to researcher Andy Brockman, who edits The Pipeline, an investigative publication exploring the intersection between archaeology, money and politics, there are strong fears that the move has paved the way for so-called “casino metal detecting”.

For those of you who don't want politics intermixed with metal detecting, it is inseparable, just as it is with archaeology.  As long as government gets involved, as it inevitably and increasingly does with everything anymore, politics is involved.

There is a north swell this morning, and an increasing surf.

Happy hunting,
