Anyone have advice on a person looking into learning metal detecting?

want to purchase a used or cheap metal detector and start searching to start within a 100mile radius of my area. I live in North central tx. going to search in Oklahoma as well. wondering how to obtain ways to search private property or what is considered private property. also any advice on looking for gold in rivers and streams would be greatly appreciated. anyone with knowledge of the history of Norther Tx and southern Ok. would help too

Would an iron magnet be detected by a metal detector?

From what I know of how metal detectors work, they are relying on the magnetizeable property of metals. Wouldn’t an iron magnet not change intensity or polarity and thus not be detectable? Also, what about realistic situations where the metal detector is passing over the iron magnet. The intensity of the magnet would appear to change to the detector as it passes over, and thus would in essence cause the detectors shielded thingy to oscillate, but it would be less than 1 hertz so I don’t think it would be detectable from that aspect. Anyways thx for ur time.

I am interested in metal detecting in Poland. I cannot find much in the way on laws about it – restrictions?

Of course, logically you know to ask if you on someones property. For instance if I was in the country-side just exploring with it – is it illegal? I don’t want to do wrong, Poland has much to offer in the way of history and I thought metal detecting would be fun and interesting.

Is prospecting for gold, silver, and diamonds in the US legal on state property?

Is it even feasible to go prospecting? Any permits?
