Choosing a Gold Metal Detector
There are various reasons for investing in a gold metal detector: perhaps you lost your engagement ring in the backyard ivy and need a way to find it; or maybe you want to search for treasure at beaches or old mining sites. No matter the cause, a good gold detector can help locate low conductivity metals embedded deep within the ground while filtering out noise caused by mineralized soils.
A quality gold detector uses frequencies to address the low conductivity of gold and other conductive metals, making it easy to locate small flakes and nuggets found in placer deposits where most gold is usually located. Furthermore, these detectors have the capability of distinguishing ferrous from non-ferrous targets quickly and efficiently allowing users to quickly pinpoint targets with precision.
When purchasing a gold metal detector, look for one with an optimal frequency range of around 14 kHz and which provides both manual and automated ground balancing features, since many gold deposits can be found in highly mineralized soils.
Minelab's GPZ 7000 gold metal detector stands out as an outstanding premium gold detector that features both a monoloop and Double-D coil for convenient gold detector switching between them at the touch of a button. Furthermore, its Super-D technology enables it to successfully navigate iron-rich environments - something less powerful metal detectors often struggle with detecting. Despite being packed with features yet lightweight at just 2.5 pounds this model boasts an exceptional feature-to-weight ratio.
