about us

My friends and I have been hunting civil ware relics for several years. It is the most exciting and yet addictive hobby there is. We have tried almost every detector on the market with limited success. Relic hunting is a challenging hobby if you do not have an efficient detector. Although we enjoyed relic hunting, it was most frustrating at times because of various design faults. I grew quiet frustrated with the various un-thought out designs. I love this hobby so much I thought there's got to be a better way.

As I realized what little forethought and quality was put into these different detectors, it made me angry not only because I spent a lot of money for these machines but also because many other people do the same and will never grasp the full excitement they deserve. Then it hit me! Why don’t I design my own metal detector? In 1980, I began designing a high quality; professional and efficient metal detecting design. I wanted a metal detector that was designed for deep relic recovery, how about you?

After 1 1/2 years of trial and error, Ground Hawk was born. Ground Hawk has always manufactured metal detectors by hand to ensure that they are designed to operate at their maximum performance. Today, our desire of product quality and customer satisfaction has not changed. Ground Hawk became more than just a brand name; it became a symbol of customer satisfaction.
