White's Spectra VX3

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 20:20:15 +0000

The White's VX3 metal detector was introduced in 2011 and discontinued in 2020. The VX3 is a VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, relic detecting, saltwater beach detecting, and gold prospecting. The White's VX3 is a multifrequency detector that can also run at one of several single frequencies: 2.5, 7.5, and 22.5 kHz.

"The VX3 combines the premier performance of the Spectra V3i with the turn-on-and-go simplicity of the Coinmaster line of metal detector. This top-of-the-line metal detector is as easy to use as an ATM with 8 preset hunting programs. You’ll be ready to discover coins, jewelry, gold, silver, and relics. Take it to the shore with a specialized beach mode. Customization continues with 3 frequencies optimized for different targets: 2.5 kHz, 7.5 kHz, and 22.5 kHz. When you come across a target, the SpectraGraph Target Signature shows on the VX3’s high-resolution color display, helping you decide whether the find is worth digging up. The VX3 is ready to use with White’s SpectraSound wireless headphones. For traditional audio identification, choose from four modes of discrimination and optional tone ID with 191 different sounds. There are essential settings for you to optionally adjust, but the Spectra VX3 is all about making treasure finding easy for every hunter — detecting targets with performance worthy of the Spectra name."

The V3i is a VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, relic detecting, saltwater beach detecting, and gold prospecting. The White's V3i is a multifrequency detector that can also run at one of several single frequencies: 2.5, 7.5, and 22.5 kHz.

The V3i was originally released as the White's Spectra Vision or simply White's Vision. Due to a name conflict with another company the name was changed to White's Spectra V3. The original Vision and V3 models both had software updates issued. The updates were consolidated into the final White's Spectra V3i model which is still being manufactured today. All previous models can be updated to the latest V3i software by returning the detector to White's Electronics. Details here.

"THE SPECTRA® V3i IS WHITE’S PREMIER METAL DETECTOR. We’ve included all our treasure hunting features and your investment is backed by a comprehensive 2-year warranty. The beautiful, full-color HD display clearly explains the depth and metal type of detected objects. And, if you’re just starting out, the V3i has 9 preset programs, for turn-on-and-go versatility that fits the terrain and target... whether it’s coins, jewelry, relics of the past, or gold nuggets.

Fisher CZ-21

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 20:11:17 +0000

The Fisher CZ-21 metal detector was introduced in 2009 and is still in production. The CZ-21 replaces the earlier CZ-20 model and is essentially the same unit with slight modifications. The Fisher CZ-21 is a fully submersible multifrequency VLF metal detector aimed primarily at underwater use. The 250 foot maximum depth makes the CZ-21 suitable for use while SCUBA diving. Note that as a diving detector both the headphones and coil are hardwired into the control box and cannot be changed. There is a choice of 8" or 10.5" concentric coils at the time of purchase.

"The CZ-21 and 1280X are housed in the most rugged enclosures and each have the same collapsible pole assemblies. A short pole assembly is desired when diving, but full extension is preferred when standing or wading. Both are submersible to 250 feet. The control housing can be easily removed for hip-mounting or it can be chest-mounted with an optional chest harness. The CZ-21 has a reputation for being the best saltwater metal detector ever made, while the 1280X is known for being the best fresh water detector, but both can be used in either environment. The CZ-21 is a multi-frequency metal detector that has adjustable discrimination, is easy to use and designed to handle the toughest mineral concentrations on any salt or fresh water beach. The CZ-21 also has Audio Tone Target-ID, a highly sought after feature that allows users to distinguish iron targets from gold. The CZ-21 delivers!" Source: Fisher 2016 catalog

Fisher Gemini-3

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 20:07:50 +0000

The Fisher Gemini-3 metal detector was introduced in 1988 and is still in production. It is worth mentioning that the Gemini-3 is a direct descendent of the 1938 Fisher Metallascope or "M-Scope", the first ground penetrating metal detector to receive a patent. The Gemini-3 is a "two-box" metal detector that is designed for finding large objects at depth. Two box detectors are not sensitive to items much smaller than a baseball, but can detect large items like a 55 gallon drum or water main to depths exceeding ten feet. Two box detectors are a favorite of the classic "treasure hunter" but are more often used by utility companies and surveyors.

"Two-box metal detectors are used by prospectors, geologists, treasure hunters and public utility companies to locate large, deep objects, ore veins, pipes and cables. Fisher Labs, the recognized leader in the field, was granted the first two-box metal detector patent in 1938. The GEMINI-3 is respected for being the best there is because it goes deeper, traces farther and is easier to use than any other cache finder in its class." Source: Fisher 2014 catalog

The Fisher Gold Bug 2 metal detector was introduced in 1995 and is still in production. It is a 71 kHz induction balance metal detector aimed primarily at gold prospecting.

"The Gold Bug 2 is the best detector on the market for finding the tiniest gold nuggets. It offers extraordinary sensitivity; at 71 kHz it features the highest operating frequency on the market. The Gold Bug 2 also features iron discrimination, is dust and moisture resistant, has audio-boost and can operate in any type of soil with the choice of three mineralization modes. In the Iron Disc Mode the detector can identify hot rocks and small iron trash items like nails. An Audio Boost Mode increases the depth capability and automatically increases the volume of any faint signal such as a small or deep nugget." Source: Fisher 2016 catalog

Fisher Gold Bug

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 19:59:58 +0000

The Fisher Gold Bug metal detector was introduced in 2009 and is still in production. The Gold Bug is a 19 khz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at gold prospecting, relic, jewelry, and coin detecting. This new digital Gold Bug should not be confused with the 1987 analog Gold Bug which has no LCD screen. Note that the Gold Bug normally comes with a non-standard 5" round coil. This is good for nugget detecting but may be too small for some common uses like coin detecting. The Gold Bug has another version that adds a manual ground balance adjustment - the Fisher Gold Bug Pro.

"The Gold Bug® family has revolutionized gold prospecting with new prospecting tools, Target-ID, incredible depth and all at an affordable price! Its fast retune speed and biaxial search coils create superb target separation with impressive depth. V-Break™, the industry’s first Variable Breakpoint tone
discrimination system, allows user control of the multi-tone Audio ID system. This feature helps distinguish iron targets with a distinctive low audio tone while non-ferrite targets like gold, induce high tones. Tone discrimination combines with a dead-accurate Visual ID system to give gold prospectors a vital new tool in finding gold without having to dig any iron targets. An expanded 40-Point Iron ID target range helps differentiate between larger iron objects and smaller nails and pieces. The way it minimizes the masking effects of ferrous targets near non-ferrous targets is simply amazing! Two more unique features are the real-time display of the Ground Phase value and an Fe3O4 meter that indicates the amount of mineralization present. These features monitor changes in soil conditions to locate and trace black sand concentrations where gold is commonly found. The Ground Balance system handles the toughest of ground conditions, capable of balancing all the way to salt. No longer do you need a specialized detector for prospecting and another for coins and relics; the Gold Bug excels at both!" Source: Fisher 2014 catalog

Fisher F75 Ltd

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 19:54:38 +0000

The Fisher F75 Ltd metal detector is a model in the F75 series introduced in 2007 and is still in production. It is a 13 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, relic, jewelry, and gold nugget detecting. Note that the F75 Ltd was also called the F75 Special Edition, leading to some confusion regarding the various F75 models. The latest version of the F75 Ltd is the F75+.

The original F75 Ltd model was upgraded in 2014 to include Digital Shielding Technology (DST) but the model name as sold remained the same. Earlier models are just called the F75 Ltd and the newer version is referred to as the F75 Ltd DST by users. These models should not be confused with the basic F75 model which also come with and without DST.

"The F75 Ltd and Fisher F75 are two of the best metal detectors on the market today. Ideal for coins, relics, jewelry, caches and gold nuggets; they are truly versatile. When the F75 was released it raised the bar in the industry for impressive depth and incredible target separation capability. Its unparalleled "iron see-through" has been the talk of the industry. Sites thought to have been cleaned out now produce countless artifacts. These brothers of a sort share a core group of features. The Ltd version comes with additional Boost and Cache Modes, a 5" DD Round Searchcoil and a set of rain covers for the control and battery housing. The advanced technology of the Fisher F75 Ltd makes it the deepest and most versatile detector on the market today. Boost Mode increases depth and gives an added edge when hunting forest clutter or deep vegetation. Cache Mode detects large objects buried deep. Combined with our 15" DD Searchcoil it is the ideal combination when searching for deep caches, projectiles or meteorites. Also included with the F75 Ltd is a 5" DD round Searchcoil, excellent in trashy areas and for locating small items and gold nuggets. A set of rain covers for the control and battery compartments is also included." Source: Fisher 2016 catalog

Fisher F75

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 19:53:06 +0000

The Fisher F75 metal detector was introduced in 2007 and is still in production. It is a 13 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, relic, jewelry, and gold nugget detecting. Note that the F75 is the base model of a series that includes many variations, leading to some confusion, so be careful when comparing advertised versions of this detector. See also the F75 Ltd and F75+.

The original F75 model was upgraded in 2014 to include Digital Shielding Technology (DST) but the model name as sold remained the same. Earlier models are just called the F75 and the newer version is referred to as the F75 DST by users. These models should not be confused with the Limited (Ltd) and Special Edition (SE) models which also come with and without DST.

"The F75 and F75 Ltd are two of the best metal detectors on the market today. Ideal for coins, relics, jewelry, caches and gold nuggets; they are truly versatile. When the F75 was released it raised the bar in the industry for impressive depth and incredible target separation capability. Its unparalleled "iron see-through" has been the talk of the industry. Sites thought to have been cleaned out now produce countless artifacts. These brothers of a sort share a core group of features. The Ltd version comes with additional Boost and Cache Modes, a 5" DD Round Searchcoil and a set of rain covers for the control and battery housing." Source: Fisher 2016 catalog

Minelab X-Terra 705

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 19:43:19 +0000

The Minelab X-Terra 705 metal detector was introduced in 2009 and is still in production. The X-Terra 705 is a selectable frequency VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and relic detecting. The X-Terra models are unique in that they sense the coil attached to the detector, and then match the detector frequency to the coil. Coils are made in 3 kHz, 7.5 kHz, and 18.75 kHz versions. The standard X-Terra 705 comes with a 9" round concentric 7.5 kHz coil, good for general purpose metal detecting. The alternative Minelab X-Terra 705 Gold comes instead with an 18.75 kHz 6" x 10" DD coil as a better option for gold prospectors.

"The best for all-purpose detecting. The X-TERRA 705 offers the ultimate detecting experience. It can be used for gold prospecting as well as for coin & treasure hunting, simply by switching between available pre-programmed modes. Thanks to Coin & Treasure and Gold Prospecting Modes you get a gold detector plus coin, treasure & relic detector all in one! Across diverse detecting conditions and in the toughest environments, the X-TERRA 705 delivers optimal performance with ease. An all-purpose detector capable of all types of detecting, from coin & treasure to relic, beach and gold prospecting. Performance and features driven, the versatility of this detector makes it without question, the leading detector in this category. The specialised Prospecting Mode has improved sensitivity making the detector more sensitive to small target signals. The Prospecting Mode can be used in highly mineralised, 'difficult' areas. The high frequency Double-D coils offer advantages, as they are adept at handling these conditions. The Prospecting Mode is ideal not only when searching for gold nuggets but also for small relics and some types of jewellery." Source: Minelab website

Fisher Gold Bug Pro

Sat, 01 Dec 2018 19:06:05 +0000

The Fisher Gold Bug Pro metal detector was introduced in 2010 and is still in production. It is a 19 khz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at gold prospecting, relic, jewelry, and coin detecting. The Gold Bug Pro has been a very popular entry level gold prospecting detector. Note that the Gold Bug Pro normally comes with a non-standard 5" round coil. This is good for nugget detecting but too small for most common uses. The Gold Bug Pro can be had however with other coil options like the 7" x 11" DD (Gold Bug DP model) if desired. This model is also sold without a manual ground balance control as the basic Fisher Gold Bug.

"The Gold Bug® family has revolutionized gold prospecting with new prospecting tools, Target-ID, incredible depth and all at an affordable price! Its fast retune speed and biaxial Search coils create superb target separation with impressive depth. V-BreakTM, the industry's first Variable Breakpoint tone discrimination system, allows user control of the multi-tone Audio ID system. This feature helps distinguish iron targets with a distinctive low audio tone while non-ferrite targets like gold, induce high tones. Tone discrimination combines with a dead-accurate Visual ID system to give gold prospectors a vital new tool in finding gold without having to dig any iron targets. An expanded 40-Point Iron ID target range helps differentiate between larger iron objects and smaller nails and pieces. The way it minimizes the masking effects of ferrous targets near non-ferrous targets is simply amazing! Coin and relic hunters marveled at how well the Gold Bug® Pro performed with our legendary 11 "DD Searchcoil, and the Gold Bug® DP was bom. Two more unique features are the real-time display of the Ground Phase value and an Fe304 meter that indicates the amount of mineralization present. These features monitor changes in soil conditions to locate and trace black sand concentrations where gold is commonly found. The Ground Balance system handles the toughest of ground conditions, capable of balancing all the way to salt. No longer do you need a specialized detector for prospecting and another for coins and relics; the Gold Bug excels at both!" Source: Fisher 2016 catalog

Metal Detector Database & User Review Notes

Thu, 29 Nov 2018 20:54:02 +0000

This is a simple listing of metal detector models which I will be filling out with models new and old as I have time. The intent is to have basic information on metal detector models for easy reference. The models are listed alphabetically by manufacturer but by using the "Sort By" function can also be listed by weight, price, or other basic specifications. Links to manufacturer pages and owner's manuals are provided when possible.

Discontinued models are highlighted, and when discontinued the price shown is the last known sale price new.

The heart of the whole thing is intended to be the User Reviews. If enough people take the time to write up their basic thoughts about each model, pro and con, it can help others in the future. Please try and keep it on the level - critical commentary is good but trashing things just to trash them is not. Please note each forum member may leave one review only - this is not a discussion forum.

Anyway, this is an experiment that will only prove its worth over time if everyone contributes. Thank you in advance for any review you post!

The XP Deus metal detector was introduced in 2009 and is still in production. The Deus is a VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and relic detecting. The Deus was revolutionary at the time it was released due to its very light weight, integrated wireless headphones and wireless coils (unique to XP), and an exceptionally fast recovery time. The Deus sets a current standard for relic detecting and is extremely popular in Europe in particular. The Deus is a "selectable frequency" detector that lets you select one frequency to use from several options. The XP Deus can run at any one of four frequencies - 4, 8, 12, and 18 kHz.

"DEUS marks a technological breakthrough and is a real innovation in metal detector design. Its patented architecture is based on three elements: A Coil, a Remote Control and a set of Audio Headphones, which are unique in that they communicate with each other via a digital radio link. The search coil contains the essential components for processing the signals, which no longer need to be conveyed via a wire link but are digitised and analysed directly at source by an ultra-miniature digital circuit, which greatly improves the quality of signal acquisition. This circuit, which is integrated in the detection head, processes the information and sends it to the headphones and remote control in real time via a radio link." Source: XP Deus Brochure
