will this detect gold, and what target metal will it be under?

No, but it'll detect rusty nails, and beep at anything that even remorely contains metsllic minerals. Total piece of junk!

This will find anything metal and the depth it will detect may be enough to get the job done but you will look silly crawling around on your knees with something about as round as quarter. Get a cheap detector, even a used one. It is never cost prohibitive to get the right tool for the job

depends on proximity. (the more ferrous mass the longer distance it will detect. less mass need to be closer)get detector as close to travel path as possible.

go to Kellyco metal detectors , this is one awesome machine I have found targets at 3 feet with this guy in all metal mode !!!

No, this does not replace a Metal Detector. But it is a great tool one uses once their medal detector has located an object below the ground level. The Garrett Pro-pointer helps you locate an item quickly. Would suggest finding him a good metal detector. If he is just getting into this hobby I would recommenda Garrett Ace 250 which is a good one, light, easy to use.I purchase my Garrett at Kellyco's local store, also have awebsite kellycodetectors.com . Also suggest viewing both items on Youtube.

Cindy, I have no idea. It doesn't work for me outdoors, haven't tried it indoors. It would probably be best to contact Australian Gold directly.

Yes it has a gold setting...though its not the best. Unless the placer is in a mine mixed with ore right on top of the ground you're not going to have much luck. (at depth) This bounty hunter gives off a low tone for gold. (which is also the tone for a lot of trash like nickle) Bounty hunter makes another detector called the "Gold Hunter" which would be better suited for placer. Cost is about $50 more but worth it. Hope this helps and good luck hunting!

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.

Definatly, this works very well at finding metal. It does not work so well at detecting the DIFFERANCE between metals. We normally find old steel nails even just tiny rusted pieces of them as far as 6" below compact ground. My guess is you will be looking for steel posts just under the leaves, the key is you will need to pass the detector DIRECTLY OVER THE post you are looking for. Its not going to tell you "if your close", a metal object on the ground within an inch of the outer ring will not set it off it must pass over the object to set it off. Hope this helps

No this only helps pinpoint a target once a metal detector has found it. However the Garrett pro ATX metal detector is extremely lightweight it only weighs about maybe 5 pounds

Yes this would be an excellent choice for that. I use mine for metal detecting and it picks up all coins and even foil. Good product good price.

Yes, both gold and silver but sometimes it detects aluminum and tin as silver. Not a bad detector for beginers.

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!!!

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 .

Yes it can. The gold plates to only a select set of metals but does not plate gems.

Sorry but i dont know because when i buyed i send it straight to mexico, and what they told me it only can detect metal 3 feet deep and they have to buy a eagle eye to go deeper. I hope this help.
