Looking to get started?

If you are serious about metal detecting, having the right accessories can make a huge difference to your success in the field. Whether you are searching ploughed fields, pasture land, beaches or woodland, the best metal detecting accessories help you recover targets faster, protect valuable finds and improve comfort during long detecting sessions.

Many beginners focus purely on choosing the best metal detector, but experienced detectorists know that the right equipment and accessories are just as important.

Beginner Machines

Many models feature simple controls, lightweight designs and pre-set search modes, making them easy to pick up and use straight out of the box. Despite being beginner focused, modern entry-level detectors still offer impressive depth, target identification and useful features that help you build confidence as your skills grow.

Whether you're buying your first detector for yourself or looking for a great gift for someone wanting to get into metal detecting, our beginner range offers dependable options to help you get started the right way.

Pin Pointers

A pinpointer is one of the best metal detecting accessories for speeding up target recovery. After digging a hole, a handheld pinpointer helps locate the exact position of the target quickly and accurately.

Without a pinpointer, recovering small finds such as hammered coins or tiny artefacts can become slow and frustrating.

Digging Tools

A high-quality metal detecting spade is one of the most important accessories for any detectorist. Standard garden spades are often too heavy, too wide and not designed for repeated digging in tough ground conditions.

Finds & Tool Bags

A metal detecting finds pouch helps keep valuable finds protected while separating rubbish from recoverable items.

Responsible detecting means removing modern rubbish from the land while safely storing historical finds.

Find Cases & Pods

Many historic finds become fragile once removed from the ground. Proper storage is essential for protecting coins and artefacts from damage.

A quality finds box or storage case helps organise and preserve discoveries safely until cleaning and identification.

Gloves

A good pair of metal detecting gloves is an essential piece of kit for any detectorist spending long hours digging in fields, woodland or rough ground conditions.

Metal detecting involves constant digging, handling sharp objects and working in wet, muddy environments. Without proper gloves, your hands can quickly become sore, cut or blistered.

Carry Bags

Protect your detector during storage and transport with high-quality metal detector carry bags designed for durability, convenience and everyday use. Whether you're heading out to the fields, beach, woodland or travelling to your next detecting adventure, a reliable carry bag helps keep your equipment safe from dirt, scratches and knocks along the way.
