SITE INFORMATION AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE
Where links lead.
What they mean.
Detector Field Book may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through certain product links. This page explains the relationship without making you hunt for the fine print.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
When a qualifying purchase is made through an Amazon link on Detector Field Book, the site may receive a commission.
The Amazon Associates relationship
Detector Field Book participates in the Amazon Associates Program. Some links to Amazon products are affiliate links, which means a qualifying purchase can result in a commission to this site. Amazon does not own Detector Field Book, and participation in the program is not an endorsement of our articles by Amazon.
From a gear guide to a retailer
You read about a detector, search coil, pinpointer, or other field accessory.
An affiliate link sends you to the retailer, where the current offer is shown.
If you make a qualifying purchase, the retailer may pay us a commission.
Detector Field Book does not take your order, process your payment, ship products, or handle returns. The retailer is responsible for the transaction and its terms. We do not charge a separate fee for following an affiliate link.
A link is not a field-test result
Detector choice depends on more than a product name or a price tag. Search conditions, target types, detector controls, coil compatibility, and a reader’s experience can all change whether a piece of gear is a sensible fit. An affiliate link does not settle any of those questions.
Our guides aim to make specifications, limitations, and trade-offs understandable. A manufacturer’s claim should not be mistaken for independent field testing; when an article discusses hands-on testing, the evidence for that claim should be clear in the article itself. Our Editorial Policy explains the standards we apply to published information.
Confirm the exact gear, not just the headline
Prices, stock levels, package contents, product revisions, and warranty terms can change after a guide is published. Check the current retailer listing and manufacturer documentation. For metal detectors and accessories, pay particular attention to model compatibility, included coils, power requirements, and stated water-resistance limits.
Buying the right equipment does not automatically grant permission to use it anywhere. Check land access rules, local detecting restrictions, and recovery requirements separately from product specifications.
Advertising, sponsorships, and compensation
Affiliate commissions are not the only form of commercial relationship a website may have. If advertising appears on Detector Field Book, it is distinct from the commissions associated with product links. Third-party advertising providers may have their own data practices, described further in our Privacy Policy.
If a particular article is sponsored or involves a provided product or another material commercial relationship, that relationship should be identified in the relevant content. The presence of an affiliate link alone should not be read as evidence of hands-on testing or a paid product endorsement.
What changes when you leave this site
Following a product link takes you to a website operated by another company. Affiliate links may include referral identifiers, and the destination website may use cookies or similar technologies according to its own practices. Review the retailer’s policies before submitting personal or payment information. For information about this site’s handling of data and external links, read our Privacy Policy.
Question a link or a gear claim?
If a disclosure is unclear, a product detail looks outdated, or a recommendation needs another look, tell us exactly which page or link is involved.
