Welcome to Columbia Metal Detectors Inc.

Your #1 source for expert advice when purchasing metal detectors and equipment online.


When emergencies arise and valuable jewelry is lost, Columbia Metal Detectors Inc. is the first place to seek professional help. Our experts recently recovered a $44,000.00 diamond ring for a frantic vacationer in Southern California who lost it at the beach and another $10,000.00 engagement ring found at another beach. Once again, Columbia Metal Detectors was featured in the news for "finding the impossible"! We also just found ten 10 ounce silver bars that a gentleman buried in his yard three years ago and forgot where he hid them. It took us only three minutes to recover them for him. You never know where things might be until you look.

We are glad that you took the time to visit our warehouse and we look forward to serving your needs.

With over 45 years of experience we can help you with any questions concerning the operation and applications of the metal detectors and mining equipment shown on our website. Please feel free to call us during regular business hours. There's a friendly person waiting to help you.
