Got a detector or land access question this site missed?
A number on Swing&Dig that looks off, a detector recommendation that didn’t fit your ground, or a setup that doesn’t match the usual examples, heavily mineralized soil, a saltwater beach, a state park with mixed rules, land you’re not sure is public or private. Real field problems are useful here, especially the ones that show where a guide needs to be clearer.
The Fastest Way to Reach Scott
Email is the most reliable way to get in touch. Scott reads messages sent to Swing&Dig, especially ones that point to a specific article, a specific detector or ground problem, or a detail that could help the next detectorist reading the same guide.
Replies aren’t instant, and not every individual setup can get a full diagnosis by email. Still, corrections, sharp questions, unclear examples, and odd real-world situations are all worth sending. A good message usually points to exactly what the site should explain better.
Use this email for corrections, detector or land access questions, spec checks, and notes from your own hunts.
If an article has a depth claim, VDI number, price range, or recommendation that looks off, send the page URL and the exact sentence. The more specific the note, the easier it is to check against the source or the current listing.
Detecting questions are often more specific than general buying guides make them sound. If you can’t find a clear answer about detector technology, settings, technique, or where you’re legally allowed to search, send the question in plain language.
Heavily mineralized red clay, a saltwater beach, a state park with confusing rules, land you’re not sure is public or private, or a mix of park and permission-land hunting on one budget can all change the right answer. Those situations show where a guide needs a better example instead of cleaner theory.
For legitimate partnership questions, put “Partnership” in the subject line and explain the request clearly. Generic guest post pitches, link exchange offers, SEO agency outreach, and unrelated product promotions may not get a response.
What to Include in Your Message
For a correction, include the page URL, the exact line or claim, and what you think should be checked. For a field question, include your detector model, the type of ground you’re hunting (park, beach, field, or woods), the soil or mineralization if you know it, and what’s actually going wrong. Short, specific details help more than a long backstory.
If the issue is false signals or poor depth, mention the ground balance setting and soil type. If it’s a land access question, mention whether it’s federal, state, or private, and what state you’re in. If it’s a permission question, mention what you’ve already tried. Those small details usually matter more than the brand name on the detector.

For corrections, include the article URL and the exact claim. For setup or land access questions, describe what you’re trying to do and what’s going wrong. Plain details are enough.
