About Us

2017 marked the inception of Hand-Held Metal Detector, a pioneering venture dedicated to the dissemination of authoritative, comprehensive information on all aspects of hand-held metal detectors. Our journey began with a clear vision: to fill the void in the digital landscape where reliable, unbiased content about this fascinating hobby and professional tool was scarce.

Our founding story is rooted in a personal quest for knowledge and the shared frustration of our founders, who recognized the paucity of trustworthy resources on hand-held metal detectors. With a commitment to excellence and a passion for journalism, we set out to create a platform that would serve as a beacon for enthusiasts, historians, archaeologists, and hobbyists alike.

Since our inception, Hand-Held Metal Detector has achieved several milestones, from launching our inaugural article to expanding our team and coverage, including product reviews, historical finds, and technological advancements. Our significant achievements include becoming a go-to source for the latest industry news, forming partnerships with leading experts in the field, and hosting the first international conference on metal detecting history and ethics.

Our purpose is to provide our readers with the most accurate, up-to-date information on hand-held metal detectors, fostering a community of informed users who respect the heritage they explore. Our core values are rooted in integrity, objectivity, and a deep respect for history and the environment. We aim to achieve our mission by delivering unbiased reporting, insightful analysis, and in-depth features that educate and inspire our audience.

The gap we aimed to fill was significant: there was a lack of comprehensive, factual information available online, which often led to misinformed decisions and misunderstandings about the hobby or profession. Hand-Hand Metal Detector fills this niche by ensuring reliable information through extensive research, expert interviews, and a rigorous editorial process that involves fact-checking and peer review.

Our target audience is diverse, ranging from seasoned treasure hunters to curious amateurs, educators, and students. We serve them by providing a wealth of content tailored to their interests and needs, including buying guides, how-to tutorials, and conservation tips. Readers can engage with our content through comments, submitting news tips, or contributing guest articles.

  • Alex Jensen, Chief Editor
  • Taylor Smith, Senior Writer
  • Jordan Martinez, Research Analyst
  • Mia Chen, Contributing Historian
  • Eli Robinson, Technical Expert
  • Samantha Lee, Community Engagement Manager

Our business model is straightforward yet effective: we deliver our services through high-quality content, which includes original articles, videos, and podcasts. We monetize our platform through strategic partnerships, sponsorships, and advertisements that align with our values and do not compromise the integrity of our reporting.
