Which is the best detecter for gold
1938891
We have never found gold yet so it is hard to tell you. Using my wedding band it reacts well but sounds the same as many other metals so it is hard to distinguish.

I dont know. I know that it depends of your hand. Practice makes the masters!

I havent venture in to gold yet but beaches may have your tender moments for searching for other people lost gold items .

The price on Amazon is back up to $279 now, at $169 it was too good a deal for me to pass up! I don't know why it was more than $100 off the regular price, but it's a great metal detector. It's far better than my "starter detector", and honestly, it's even worth $279.

Yes it can detect gold, silver, brass & copper...nickel & zinc clad objects...alongwith aluminum and dicast metals...

Haven't tried the Max yet and after reading the reviews probably won't. But I do have an 8500, 9500, x50, and a Redline. The Redline is by far the best of the best. I even had it fixed once when the speaker stopped working, and that says a lot. Keep in mind that I have had this detector for years. I want maximum detection range on open highways and the Redline gives me that without question. Falsing is at a minimum as well. Now if I could only get Escort to make a decent suction cup. Got the black aftermarket one that falls off my windshield several times a week.

Sorry for delay -I was overseas, and had to test. I used my 14K wedding ring, and the scanner could pick it up from about 1" away. I suppose it would matter where you lost it, but it will detect.

When you get the machine to work at all it will "help" locate metal objects including gold. I was not able to get mine to work regularly. When it did work I was able to locate metals without distinction. In other words I could not get mine to only hit on gold. It would either hit on metal or nothing. I would suggest looking into a better machine if you want to locate only gold/silver. If you are looking for a toy for amusement only then this item will probably work well for you.

My Bounty Hunter pin pointer can detect metals from 3/4" to 1" away from it's tip. But that is only after carefully fine tuning the sensitivity at the on-off knob. If you happen to touch the knob after adjustment, you stand the chance of knocking it out of adjustment and will have to start all over again. Bottom line is it's less expensive than the others on the market and it suits my needs, but it requires the user to perform sensitivity adjustment before use.

The Max would be my first choice. It works like a 9500 with much better range. Both are very good detectors.

Well.., this scanner can detect all metals, behind ceramic too, but sometimes make mistakes. Only in metal mode can use to that work.

I think you would want something a little more sophisticated with a pancake tube. The Inspector or PRM 8000. This is a great little detector but you need something more sensitive and quicker. You would need to bucket some water then test it over a bit of time. Either of the units mentioned will measure over time.

This is a discontinued model. They are just clearing out their stock. But trust me!!!! I have been detecting for over 30 years and have owned many brands. I bought a 2200. minelab etrac and like the time ranger better. It is better on nickles than most and is very accurate. The detection on this one is Great and is super light weight, and is a big plus on a long day of detecting. A friend told me yesterday how cheap they were selling these here on amazon so I bought another. Trust me you will not be disappointed in the Bounty Hunter Time Ranger. It will find everything the high dollar ones will but better on nickles than most. Hope this helps.

Yes it will Sally , It will detect any kind of metal and it would be very helpful if you had another platinum ring or a piece of platinum to see what numeric value the detector would read it as .

Yes it will find the white gold ring, lower the discrimination level to (Irn3). Read the manual to set a custom discrimination level, you can also try it with program 1. This is a great detector for the money, take it from someone who has $1500 detectors. But you must read the manual several times!!!

I have found gold jewelry with it, but have not had the chance to look for raw nuggets. As far as easily, no gold is easily found, but if the coil goes over it, the machine will let you know. If it was easy everyone would do it! Don't quit your day job haha! Great machine for the price!

Yes, It Will Give You Results In PPM. Detection Range Is 0.05- 1.0 PPM. Thank You

This is the exact tool you need to accurately find studs behind plaster and lath. That's why I got one and it worked beautifully. It also finds pipes and electric lines deeper in the wall. The Zircon M40 is the best, most sensitive stud finder I have ever used.
