Please suggest inexpensive Metal detector that will guarantee the job.

Aarone, I'm not sure this one will do the trick of detecting a 6" silver plate 6' deep. I’m guessing a barrel of Mexican silver dollars may be more than 6 “ across in diameter at a 5’ to 6’ depth

Unless your Coins are 6 Inches in Diameter, I doubt you can detect them at 2 Feet.
Multiple Coins Don't Count as they are Not Solidly Connected together.

Bill- are you sure? Have you had personal experience? PI's would be able to detect that, especially if stacked, yes? I always hear people say, "Are you crazy? That is a STUPID idea!" But they've never actually used the stuff. These days with all these big dollar spending on weapons research, detection and stealth tech, you would think to see some improvement in MD'ing to bring it up to modern times. It's too easy to say "it sucks, it sucks". If it did, how come I don't hear anyone saying they suck on the gogglydoo?
Who knows, maybe they do, but I'd like to hear something other than "my friend had one and he told me...."
Give us some real-world exp. please, we would like to read about it.

I'm interested in purchasing, at a reasonably low cost, a metal detector which can guarantee detection of a six inch Silver or Gold plate six feet deep. What metal detector brands fit this description? It's a "one time shot" for what I need to verify. I'm privy to a fluke discovered situation whereby, there's a strong chance I know where part of the "Confederate Gold" is located. If it's there, I can't make the mistake of missing its burial location. It doesn't mean I'll be allowed to claim the loot but only to put some closure of what happened in April of 1865. That's another problem within itself which may be unsolvable and that is, getting permission to recover the loot. Please contact me at [email protected]

a detector with the above specs simply is not "invented" yet. The detection of this target , even at mild soils, is still a challenge. Also is too small target for 2box types. Be away of Jeohunder or Nokta family.
These detectors are simply a joke. Many tests ,poor results, a simple VLF in fancy boxes,with no reliable ground balance, heavy etc . Your MD 5008 is much better and cheaper.

is this a joke?

No, I am serious, joke is coming after purchase.

[dorus]

Yes. This is right detector for you. Don't hesitate - buy now!

What do you say about a detector that detects everything? it is sold by the company ATSC LTD.
Is this possible?

Yes. This is right detector for you. Don't hesitate - buy now!

In-expensive Metal Detector

Thanks for the interest and reply. I picked up a MD-5008 and in the process of learning its use. I'm not sure this one will do the trick of detecting a 6" silver plate 6' deep. I’m guessing a barrel of Mexican silver dollars may be more than 6 “ across in diameter at a 5’ to 6’ depth. I'm very weary of purchasing a Jeohunter or Jeosonar from Indonesia because most or all are SCAMMERS although the price is lower. These metal detectors are way over priced like medical drugs. There is not more than $400 in materials involved in their manufacture . Matter of fact, there are more electronics and costly components in a Laptop. Also, some of the Turkish sellers are SCAMMERs also. It would be nice to know what’s down there as to type of metal, depth, and volume. This is a one time shot on private land and I won't be back a second time unless the loot can be detected. If so, I would have to purchase part of the land if possible. Not sure the owners will allow removal unless negotiate a %. The spot could also be an 1865 cellar or somewhere in between that was covered over. Being as the Uncle stopped digging further because of the wood obstruction, he never found out. The wood should have disintegrated in time after 20 years unless the wood was treated. Not sure barrels or wooden boxes back around 1865 were treated??? If not, this would be a wasted expensive trip to Georgia. Me at 78, what else is there to do? The buried wood was discovered in the late 1940s when this woman's (friend of mine) Uncle went to bury his dog about 4' deep in a farm area unpopulated and never, supposedly, had a built house or cellar on this particular area of land. The Uncle never pursued digging further for some unknown reason. He told his son who remembers exactly where the spot is but won’t tell me. I only know the approximate area, which means, I have a lot of territory to cover and can't make a mistake. Anyway, detector types like a Jeohunter or Nokta Golden King which will give a picture of what's under seems the right choice for this project but the cost is ridiculous. There's the possibility I can come up with the money for one of these, then sell it for what I can recover on Ebay. That’s my story for now. I’ll now check out the MD-5008 although I won’t be able to get a clear picture of the buried volume.
Best regards…….aarone

Hi,I am a junior member of your site i see your project i am so interested in oder to give a comment send to a sample of the design,block diagram& schematic diagram of the matchless metal detector.

[aarone]

Metal detector type?

Great. Thanks for the tip. How does this one or the D1/D2 compare to the Jeohunter? I haven't found out the cost of CEIA. I'm trying to get by with the lowest price but accurate for 6" plate at 6'. How about depth determination and metal type? I'll be flying across the USA to use it for a one time shot so it's got to work!

Aarone,
You need 2-Box Deep Searcher Metal Detectors. For low price see

http://www.kellycodetectors.com/Detectorcategories/2boxdetectors.htm

Most sensitive and expensive professional model is MIL-D1 of CEIA. It is designed in Italy and produced in India.
For details see
