Paul Edgerton

My name is Paul and I am the founder of Detector For Metal, a dedicated resource for metal detecting enthusiasts seeking to uncover historical treasures and connect with the past using the latest technology. As a stay-at-home dad and family man, I've found metal detecting to be the perfect hobby that combines family adventure with historical learnings for the whole family. As a father, I'm deeply committed to passing on this hobby to the next generation of detectorists, starting with my own children. I share advice on everything from metal detecting with kids to exploring the top 10 metal detecting sites you never thought about. My methodical approach to the hobby goes beyond the thrill of discovery—it's about creating family traditions while preserving history and sharing the stories of those who came before us.
