It depends on what you are detecting!!! As the frequency goes up so does the ability to detect gold. As the frequency goes down you are better equipped to find coins and other metal. The type of coil also makes a difference. Look to well known brands that have been around for a while. Also look at used machines on sites like eBay
A gold detector will find diamonds if they are surrounded by gold. A gold detector cannot find a lose diamond that is not set in gold, because you're using a detector of gold, not diamonds.
yes, that is the term gold ''Detector"" definition of detector: an object that detects something http://detectorsforgold.com/gold/
Before choosing a metal detector, you need to know if gold nuggets are to be found in your intended prospecting area or is the gold fine like flood gold? The best metal detector for nuggety gold is the Minelab GPX5000. For fine alluvial gold or fine gold in Quartz specimens then the Fisher GoldBugII would be my choice. For sure there are other metal detectors that will do the job, the two metal detectors I discribed are in my opinion the best detectors for finding gold.
GPX 5000 Gold Detector
A gold detector works by sending out electromagnetic signals into the ground. When these signals encounter gold, they are reflected back to the detector, which then alerts the user to the presence of gold. This process is based on the principle that different materials reflect electromagnetic signals in different ways, allowing the detector to distinguish between gold and other substances in the ground.
It's fairly priced. 10k gold is a little under, if not, a hundred dollars.
When the market price go $700 Dollars !
of course since the item is metal (precious) it will show on your metal detector unless of course you've blocked gold or nickel .
