I found this item under gold detectors,does it detect gold targets nderground and for how many meters deep? thanks in advance

No. It doesn't find gold underground. It is a radiation detector. My daughter just returned from Japan with the instrument left on in her baggage and recorded a max of 694 micro-Sieverts per hour.

it measures the hottest temp IMO it can detect. so it shouldn't matter how deep as long as you get to the area you want to measure

HI! it only makes a sound over metal! =-) It is a really great little detector. In time my son (12 years ole and brilliant) LOL does want a more professional one that will actually filter out junk from the good stuff . Those are a few hundred dollars so that will be when he is much older. For now he LOVES this thing and when we bring it to the playground or beach he has a ton of little followers that are intrigued beyond belief. SO far my son has found an old belt buckle (1800's) old medicine bottle (again (1800's era) tons of coins. =-)

I found a silver plated pocket watch case 6" in the ground so I don't see any reason why you couldn't find gold just listen to your head set!

As far as I know, if a metal detector can work underwater, it should work on land too.But as far as this particular metal detector goes, I wouldn't trust it.There are way too many bad reviews on the internet for this detector.Also, many of the good reviews on Amazon for this detector look like fake reviews, as if the reviews were posted by the seller.

Depth is determined by several factors. Size of target, metal conductivity, mineralization of the soil, and coil size. On this particular detector for example, a coin size object can could be detected at approx. 6 to 8 inches.

It can adequately find nails and other metal I've found up to several inches in. It provides a more exact target than other detectors I've tried. But it is also easy skip past a small bit of metal if the piece is large. I missed a small part of an old iron nail (140 yrs old) in a 16 ft floor board and chipped a blade on the bench planer as a result. Just go easy and careful and it will do the job.

Depends on how deep they are. This will discover metalic objects perhaps an inch below the surface, but it's prime use is to "pinpoint" the operator closer towards the object he/she seeks that the metal detector has already found.

Although it calls for a detection of 60 ft. in the item description, I have used it for a 20 ft. detection. It works well for the 20 ft.; however, I don't know how it will perform beyond that.

It is good on gold rings, but if you are looking for gold targets less than 1-2 grams, I would use another detector. VLF gold detectors like the X-terra 705, Gold Bug, AT Gold, or even an $150 Tesaro Compare will find gold specs better. Gold chains are detected no better than there biggest link by any detector. If you are gold prospecting consider a PI detector, instead of the VLF detectors above. The ETrac is tuned for finding silver coins 2 grams or larger and is one of the best at doing so. Nuggets under 1gram and a most chains will barely sound off if you rub them against the coil.

I have detected a 3/4" metal pipe 12-18 inches underground. This is why I bought it and it did the job. Hope this helps.

Hello Nick, it has a discriminator mode that can cancel out different metals. No metal detector is 100% accurate, but I found the ACe 250 to do a decent job. Read some of the reviews of the buyers and watch the reviews on youtube .

I have used my Zircon i520 Stud Finder on a few projects and it is the absolute best stud finder that I have ever owned. From experience with my device, it will in deed find studs behind plaster walls. In addition it will also find studs that are located in and around close proximity to electrical wiring and provide an audible warning when it senses that there is electrical wiring in close proximity to where you are searching for the studs. The beauty of this device is that it has specific settings on the front of the finder for normal depth, deep scanning, metal studs and a setting for detecting and finding electrical wiring. Hope this helps answer your question

if your in a known gold area, and you know how to use this detector it will. not flakes but pickers and nuggets. make sure TO ground balance

The timeranger has several settings that can distinguish in various ferrous metals, the instruction manual explains how to set it. It has a setting to gold. The time ranger is advertised as one of the better metal detectors.

My personal experience was at a depth of 18-20 inches with what ended up to be a metal strap of about 1.25"Wx20"L and a circular piece of metal about 10"diameter. Granted both objects were junk metal but the detector gave a strong signal at that depth for those sizes of objects.

You will probably want to do some research into a higher grade detector. However, as with most detectors, your skill at listening and reading the meter makes all the difference.
