About Prospecting Gear

Due to a passion for prospecting as a hobby and not having a place in the Midwest that I could try the prospecting equipment Prospecting Gear formed in 2014. This family owned and operated company was used so that I could try equipment and really find my niche. Our company has grown to become the largest provider of prospecting equipment, PayDirt, and metal detecting supplies in the Midwest.

We test the products we intend to sell, and only keep that which has proven it’s performance. I choose not to keep stock of the products that have under performed. In store you can find some of the previously tested product, and product that was used for demos at a discounted price. We also do accept select trades towards the purchase of new equipment, this used equipment can be purchased in store as a more budget-friendly option.

We are currently adding products to our lineup every month, so if you don’t see what you are looking for or if you have a product you love not listed that you think others would love, please feel free to reach out to us.

We sell our product locally through our retail store in Plainfield Indiana, online through this website, and at select events which if you follow our Facebook page you can join us at.
