About Us

"There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure." 

- Mark Twain 

We're a couple Midwest boys and girls who enjoy getting out and playing in the dirt so we have decided to put our hobbies to work. Thanks for the support over the past 15 years.  We started with pawn shop metal detectors and cell phone YouTube videos.  We couldn't have become one of the leading metal detector dealers in the US without your support.  

You know us best from our YouTube videos providing raw footage of our hunts.  Keep a look out in our newsletters and website for tips and tricks from seasoned professionals around the world for your future treasure hunting.  Maybe even getting "Scrap Iron" back in front of the camera. 

We know you require good quality tools in the field So we've spent hours sourcing quality products at great prices. Along with an extensive line of products, we also would like to provide top notch service in the treasure hunting industry.  

Our staff is very knowledgeable and available for any questions.  So feel free to contact us if you have any product questions or suggestions.

Thanks!

Why Buy from A Reputable Metal Detector Dealer?
There are a ton of sites acting as knowledgeable metal detector dealers only working as affiliates to other sites where they can gain revenue but not have to provide the follow up and support needed by a reputable metal detector dealer. High Plains Prospectors is an Officially Authorized Dealer for any and all products we sell. Our staff undergoes hours of education each month on all brands and types of metal detectors and gold prospecting equipment. More importantly, everyone in our shop that deals with customers daily has real-world, first-hand experience operating the metal detectors and gold prospecting equipment we sell. We sell the top brands including Gold Cube, Pioneer Mining Supplies, Estwing, Johnson Pumps, Kwik Kiln, and all the top metal detector manufacturers in the United States.

Don’t Settle for Some Large Reseller.
There are a lot of large box sporting goods stores and online resellers that offer a variety of metal detector brands including Minelab, Bounty Hunter, Teknetcis, and others. Many of the products they sell look similar to the reputable brands we sell. Don’t be fooled by a deal that seems too good to be true. Because more than likely, it is. Many consumers who purchase from these resellers come to us for direction on how to use their metal detectors and gold prospecting equipment. The large resellers do not know how to provide the answers and support that a dealer like High Plains Prospectors can. We have the best selection of metal detecting and gold prospecting accessories on the market. Things like pinpointers, rare earth magnets, metal detecting and prospecting shovels, rock picks, sand scoops, gold pans, and classifiers, and so much more, are the items we keep in stock in-store and online.
