Metal Detecting –
Gold, silver, bronze, and platinum are all metals. Metals are chemical elements characterized by their physical properties, such as luster, conductivity, malleability, and ductility. They are typically solid at room temperature (with the exception of mercury), have high melting and boiling points, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Gold (Au), silver (Ag), bronze (an alloy primarily composed of copper, tin, and other elements), and platinum (Pt) are all examples of metallic elements or alloys. These metals are highly valued for their beauty, durability, and various industrial and commercial applications. Gold and silver, in particular, have been used for thousands of years in jewelry, currency, and other decorative and cultural purposes.
