Smile Advice me before I make a decision, "needful"

Hi all


Advice me before I make a decision, "needful"




Which do you think the closest metal detector from the list below well accomplish this missions and capture the targets

Mission one : it is a rainy day , the ground is rough (mixed, not a beach ) , the target is a can of soda filled with gold or silver coins , the depth is (3 feet / 90 cm ) .

Mission two : it is another rainy day , the ground is rough (mixed, not a beach) , the target is a box ( 15 cm3) filled with gold or silver coins, the depth is (6.5 feet / 200 cm).



I have never before used a metal detector !!!!!

Please help me to choose , and you can choose more than one ( from your best expectation to the worse ) , and if you have another model of metal detector doesn't mentioned in the list you can just write it down please .

Best regards ,
Mohammad Kamal

Yup a two box detector is the way to go for what you want. KellyCo has some listed on their site...

You need a two box detector, a backhoe, and a huge wad of cash.

Gemini III is a two box that should work well for your need and you can also use to trace lines or pipes both inductively & conductively

Did you purchase any type of metal detectors yet for what you want to do?Two box detectors are good but you should also consider a pulse induction detector like a Pulse Star II Pro.Using an 18inch coil you will pick up only large targets at 1 to 2 meters deep and ignore small targets like nails and junk.It also has a 1meterX1meter search search coil that goes over 15feet deep.

If your looking to get to the 6 foot range and do not want to sell your house to get a detector you could look into a Makro JeoHunter they run like $3500 if you can talk tot he right dealer. Though if the Gemini III will work for you, its loads cheaper, ive never used one.

The GTI-2500 with the Treasure Hound is going to be your best bet on the list above. Check it out here...

Garrett GTI 2500 Metal Detector with Eagle Eye Treasure Hound

Here are a couple of other 2 box units that you can check out as well...

Fisher Gemini 3 Metal Detector

White's TM-808 Metal Detector

Other than that you are going to want to go into a professional unit to achieve the depths you are wanting and even then it can be really tough depending on the target you are getting a signal from.

Link to Kellyco's Professional Page

When you get into the professional units, you will need to talk with Raul or Gene here at Kellyco as they have been trained in these units.

I'd say unless you know something others dont such as someone you know duried that kind of stuff and your looking for a specific box.can of gold then your just throwing money away, unless you know of some wreck position same thing....youd be better with a potent metal detector and not dreams of gold finding, if your into deep holes then get a big..BIG shovel and be preparred to spend months digging junk others buried
