Guide:Difference Between Deep Seeking Detectors vs Professional Gold Detectors

Difference Between Deep Seeking Detectors vs Professional Gold Detectors

  1. Price

The deep seeking detectors start from 350,000 Pakistani rupees and have the highest range of 700,000 Pakistani rupees whereas the high end, most expensive gold detectors which lie in the professional detectors category start from 860,000 PKR and go as high as 4,800,000 PKR.

  1. Hardware

The coils of deep seeking detectors have a diameter of 1-2 meters but the professional gold detectors are not based primarily on coils. They have sensors which are capable of gathering information about metallic compounds underneath the ground surface. Both deep seeking and professional level gold detectors have option of upgrability, built in pinpointers and both are heavy in weight. Lastly the professional level detectors weigh more than 20 and 30 kilograms depending on the hardware.  

  1. Technology

Coils are not a matter of importance in both of these because the deep seeking detectors are based on Pulse Induction Technology, whereas the Professional level detectors are based on magnetic radar technology also known as magnetic sensor technology. Multiple sensors present in the devices not only detect the presence of several metallic components but also the structure and cavities of the ground beneath the visible surface. 

  1. Specifications

The deep seeking detectors are capable of 6-10 feet depth underground, also it is multiplied drastically in professional level detectors which are capable of going up to 10 to 50 feet which is very deep for such technology to work depending upon several environmental factors and soil conditions.

  1. Output Mode

Moreover both deep seeking and professional level detectors have digital displays for the information regarding output of the gold detector devices. In addition the advanced option of 3D graphical display is available in both of the categories in gold detectors making it very more helpful in analyzing and interpreting the results. 

  1. Warranty and Spare Parts

Recommended Gold Detectors in 2019

User Guide: Recommended Gold Detectors in 2024

Recommendations are based on your unique purposes of using Gold Detectors, which can be:

 

Long Term or Short Term

First of all the buyer must decide if they are going to buy the detector to use for a short period of time, for example one time, three times, one month, one season or a long time for example a few years to life time. This determines the suage pattern and intensity for gold detectors so it will tell how much to invest in such device. 

Terrestrial or Under Water

Whether the research must be conducted on the ground surface which is completely dry, on some ground where there may or may not be some water, or if the detectors are purely intended to be used under the surface of water. 

For Specific Items or Multipurpose

If the buyer is looking for a specific category of item for example gold nuggets, gold coins, gold relics, statues etc only or if they are interested to look for all or some of these items simultaneously. Because some gold detectors are especially designed to target some type of objects whereas other can be multipurpose with adjustable settings.

For Archaeological Diggings

For diggings of objects buried underneath the ground for a very long time whose shape size or depth can not be actually determined beforehand, some advanced level equipment would be more useful. 

For Geological Research

If the buyer would like to take in depth data about the ground and the metals hidden in the ground for the purpose of adding information to the geological science domain, then the accuracy of a professional level instrument with radar technology would be better alternative and its generic land survey can also be useful determining the texture of earth below the surface. .

At Construction Sites

The personnel at construction sites often require checking and separating the metallic residue from the debris, and where and why the metals are used and how the structure of the building could be made better or improvised. So using such equipment would  be very beneficial. Because the engineers and construction site developers want to analyze the ground they will be building some structures on, and depending of the type, quality and make up of the ground components underneath, the construction project could be effectively modified. 

 

For Professional Treasure Hunters

People who are working with treasure and detection equipment for a long time and know what they are doing with treasure hunting actually have a very good idea about how large profit potential their land has. So that is why they are willing to invest in such quality gold metal detection equipment to get more efficient and precise results. 

 

Uses of Gold Detectors

The Ultimate Guide Uses of Gold Detectors

Gold detectors are being used for several decades now, but over the period of time as technology evolves, people find more than one way to use and incorporate such practical devices in their lives, no matter what their professional orientation is. Here are some of the uses of gold detectors:

Detection of Landmines

Modern explosive materials comprise of many metallic components which enhance their damage level as well as give the electrical force to ignite the explosion. Landmines are one of them and because they are usually rigged underground, and can be wired or wireless. But wireless technology fails to work in presence of security protocol jammers so wire based mines are more effective. This is where gold detectors become useful to pinpoint the exact location of the mines so the security crew could safely extract on 2-4 inch depth and diffuse it. 

Pipe Detection

Pipes which are not easily found especially when buried around constructed structures or underground, then gold detectors and metal detectors could be used to see where is a metallic gas piping or sewage system so the actions could be taken according to it to ensure safety and prevention for their damage before digging around them. 

Cables and wiring

When the surrounding area comprises of populated area having several residential, commercial or industrial setups, then it becomes more likely that detecting cables and wirings become crucial. Gold metal detectors can detect and differentiate between different forms of electrical wirings including copper, aluminium wires etc. 

Stolen or Lost Metal Objects

The objects which were lost or buried accidently underground or underwater can easily be found if they are made up of gold or other detectable metals. We have seen multiple cases where people lose their jewelry item, handheld electronic devices and so on in some area they cannot tell, and these detectors come in handy that time. 

Diamond and Precious Stones in Jewelry?

Breaking up the element of surprise, yes diamond and other precious and semi precious stones from jewelry can be detected from gold detectors. How you say? Because of the possibility that diamond or those lost stones are embedded in a metallic component which holds it together with the piece of jewelry. For example if it is a diamond ring, it would be embedded in a gold or platinum base. So gold detectors are able to pick up signals for them. 

Underwater lost metal

Not only the metal dispersed under the ground but the one which was dropped into the pond or well could also be detected using many advanced underwater gold detectors. Because they are designed to work specifically in an underwater environment and pick up the magnetic rays from the lost object efficiently. According to a recent report, lacs of jewelry items are lost yearly in Pakistan. 

Treasure, Coins and Gold Nuggets

Although this might seem like the prime purpose of gold detectors, people sometimes forget how important this use is. Because it can be a mean of earning money with so much potential as the objects buried underground hundreds of years ago are hard to claim by most of the people in today’s world.

In Geological Research

Detectors can reveal various rocks with ferrous compounds or metallic layers embedded in the sediments over the period of their formation. So some of those rocks would respond to the gold detectors and these can assist in geological research. 

Which Gold Detector is Best to Buy

The gold detectors have a wide variety of models and variants which are specifically designed for a different usage situation so it becomes very crucial to decide which one will be perfect for your unique situation. However, for the ease of your decision to choose the Gold detector which is best to buy for you among all, we have classified the main requirements of your information about the unique situation into three heads, purpose, the requirement of discrimination, and well as soil condition. And the purposes of buying are further classified into four sub-categories.

Purpose of Buying

The people, the area, or the stories surrounding you might suggest some cues about how and why you will be requiring a new gold detector. Here are four basic reasons why you would want a detector:

  • Gold Nuggets

Gold nuggets are small chunks of gold that can be as small as the tip of a ballpoint pen and as huge as a handful. They are usually bigger than fine gold or powdered gold in particles that cannot be detected by metal detectors

  • Treasure Hunting

Treasure hunting includes looking for items that are usually bigger than gold nuggets and can have various-sized objects including gold coins, gold relics, gold statues, etc. They are usually used at locations where you already have an idea about some buried objects.

  • Underwater

The purpose of using gold detectors solely underwater is to find and grab gold items from water bodies including lakes, canals, streams, ponds, or to some extent, sea, and ocean.

 

  • Multipurpose

This is the more generalized purpose where the buyer may not know what specifically he or she wants and requires versatile equipment which can work equally fine on gold nuggets, for treasure hunting, or for underwater gold prospecting. 

Requirement of Discrimination

Depending upon the area where you will be conducting the gold detection process, if other metallic objects are frequently found as trash underneath the soil or recently a construction took place, then it would be better to go for a discrimination-based gold detector. But if you are sure none of the problems would persist and the area is remote where the public access is not that frequent, then a detector without discrimination will also work and would be budget-friendly. 

How is the Soil

The condition of soil whether it is highly mineralized having many metallic compounds embedded in the soil particles will also make it very difficult for a budget-friendly gold detector to work on such soil without creating excessively annoying noise. But in that case, using a detector with the ground balance option available would make it easier to work by canceling out the magnetic field of the highly mineralized soil. 

Role of Frequency in Gold Detectors 2019

What Frequency means in Gold detectors

Frequency means how much waves are hitting the ground emitted by the gold detector. The magnetic waves formed by a change in alternating current in the coil of the detector generates electronic waves which hit the ground and colliding with the magnetic field of another metallic object, receives the input electronic waves generating detection output.

How it is measured

It is measured in KiloHertz (KHz), which means if the frequency of your detector is, suppose a 100KHz, then 100,000 waves are hitting the ground.

Relationship of Frequency with Depth

Frequency and Depth have an inverse relationship which means if the frequency of waves hitting the ground increases, they will penetrate the ground in lesser depth. But if a lesser number of powerful waves are emitted, they will penetrate the ground comparatively deeper. 

Relationship of Frequency with Sensitivity

In contrast, frequency and sensitivity have a direct relationship, meaning if the frequency of the number of waves hitting the ground increases, it will be efficient towards detecting minor sizes of the metallic objects, increasing the sensitivity of the equipment. more And if a lesser number of waves are hitting the ground it will be more difficult to detect smaller sized object ignoring them completely or partially, resulting in less sensitivity of the equipment. 

What High Frequency means

In sum, if the gold detectors are working on high frequency of waves, they will become unable to detect objects in more depth but the sensitivity will increase as no matter how less the depth is, nothing will be ignored within that range.

What Low Frequency means

Low frequency would mean lesser number of waves hitting the ground, so they would be more powerful and go deeper into the layers of the Earth’s surface. However, it will compromise the sensitivity of the equipment as it can ignore the relatively smaller chunks of metallic objects. 

Choosing the right frequency range detectors

Depending upon your specific needs, you can choose which detectors suit you the most. Using very high frequency can cause noise in output as the equipment would become sensitive to even the metallic particles in the sand which are irrelevant in terms of their value. But using extremely low frequencies would result in ignoring valuable pieces of metal. So choosing just the right amount of frequency range by using the help of technical specialists in our firm is highly recommended to make sure you buy the right equipment.

What Are Gold Detectors?

Introduction

The Earth’s surface and core both are blessed with numerous resources which human beings exploit to keep the system running. These resources include precious and semi-precious metals hidden in many different forms below the Earth’s crust. One of the many challenges for people is to locate these metals and do the efforts required to dig in and extract them. Due to the technological advancements, it is now possible to determine if metal lies or not underneath the surface, without even starting to dig in. The modern equipment dramatically decreases the cost by showing probabilities of metal existence under the surface and saves much time. The equipment designed to detect specifically the gold-based metal and metallic alloys under earth’s crust is known as Gold Detectors

Categories of Underground Gold

The Gold which is naturally existing below Earth’s crust could be classified into two major types:

Gold Nuggets

The accumulated pieces or chunks of gold metal varying in sizes starting from the size of ballpoint pen’s tip to various ounces formed under natural circumstances by Earth core’s temperature and pressure.

Fine Gold

The gold particles in powdered or dust form mixed with other non-valuable particles from soil, which are not detected by any radiation or contact with the gold detectors. Their size is so small they are unable to affect the detection mechanism of even the powerful metal detectors.  

Basic Types of Detectors

Based on the types of outputs they provide, Gold detectors could be classified into four basic types which are:

  • Analog Gold Detectors

Detectors having an analog output where a needle deflects between two points when in contact with the threshold size of a metallic object showing relatively inaccurate reading but still signifies the presence of the object in question. These types of detectors are mostly obsolete but can be found in very beginner level equipment where precision is not the goal. 

  • Digital Gold Detectors

A rather advanced form of output where the model and build of detector assigns a number to the precious metal and non-precious metallic compounds where the readings close to the largest possible number indicate the purest metals underneath the surface whereas the numbers in lower possible ranges mean irrelevant metallic compounds.

  • Sound Based Gold Detectors

The type of detectors which make a beeping sound when metal is detected within its range and no other relevant information is provided whether the metal is in which category or its distance from the surface etc. However, the sound is louder in case of proximity and fades when the distance increases, which is vague but still effective in some situations. This technology can be seen in handheld security detectors as well as walk through gates.

  • 3D Graphics Based Gold Detectors

These gold detectors present the information in the form of colorful graphical representations where each of the colors means a specific metal or metallic compound in terms of the object’s purity. 

Huge Gold Nugget Found!

Recently, an Australian treasure hunter found a ginormous gold nugget weighing 49 ounces and grossing up to $49,000 in value! Yes, treasure hunting is a thing and gold metal detectors facilitate hunting them out from deep down the Earth. 

How Gold Detectors Work

Basically, gold detectors receive direct current from the battery, convert it into alternating current, which creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field emits electronic waves (eddy current) into the ground which when absorbed by a metallic object, create its own magnetic field. This new magnetic field distorts the earlier magnetic field and sends current to the receiving coil, which shows the output of positive metal detection.

 

Frequency of Gold Detectors

Frequency means the number of electronic waves a detector throws into the ground. Each frequency range is sensitive to a different type of compound and depending on the model and brand, these frequencies can vary. However a general rule is, that higher frequency results in decreased depth, but it becomes more sensitive and detects when smaller objects. 

Elements of Gold Detectors

  1. Coil

The circular base of the metal detector having the arrangement of wires in it in which the current flows and generates a magnetic field is called coil.

  1. Shaft

The long structure giving support to the coil and including a grip to hold the detector which makes it easier to carry and move the equipment around easily. 

  1. Control Unit

The device attached to the coil which receives input from the operator and gives output about the object is the control unit. 

Technologies in Coil

  1. DD Coil

An advanced form of the coil where the wiring within the apparatus is divided into two semicircles making a D and inverted D connected. It helps differentiate the ferrous and non-ferrous compounds within the ground which makes it easier to distinguish between gold and trash.

  1. Mono Coil

A simpler coil having wires arranged in its circumference where the circle is tightly wound covering more depth than DD coil but has the disadvantage that it does not discriminate between ferrous and non-ferrous compounds.
