Printable Field Kits and Logs

The most useful settings card in the world is the one you fill in yourself, from what your own machine actually does in your own soil. These are the sheets for doing that, plus the paperwork that keeps permissions on file: a buying decision sheet, a settings cheat sheet, a landowner permission letter template, a reusable hunt log, a finds catalog, and specialty sheets for beach/water and gold panning.

The Metal Detecting Skills & Hunt Planner

Fill-in worksheets covering choosing a machine, permission and public-land rules, planning and logging hunts, cataloguing finds, and beach/water and gold-panning specialty sheets: a detector & gear at a glance card, a buying decision sheet by target type and budget, a settings cheat sheet by conditions, a site research & permission log with a landowner letter template, a reusable hunt log, a beach & water hunting checklist, a gold prospecting & panning sheet, a finds catalog with cleaning notes, a gear maintenance log and a budget planner. Two filled-in examples, a bonus quick-reference card, a companion spreadsheet with a coil-coverage and dig-time planner, and an online buyer guide with current prices by kit tier.

Researched, not professional advice. Printable sheets are a record keeping aid, not a substitute for your machine's manual or for checking the law where you detect.
