Gold prospecting detectors find gold nuggets, gold veins and “raw” gold

For gold nuggets you need a gold metal detector that can find very small nuggets as well as slightly larger nuggets at medium depths – and the deepest-penetrating models for larger nuggets, which are the hardest (but most valuable) to locate.

When we sell a machine we tell you its origin, and we do not sell counterfeit brands. Many counterfeits copy the looks but not the electronics inside – many of them do not detect gold at all.

Please note: in practice no machine can detect gold deeper than about 50 cm in the ground, although factories claim up to 5 metres. In wet conditions the depth is much less.
