QcGOLD

The knock sensitivity of this machine is driving me crazy. Yes you will find gold with a GM1000 but .... Prospecting for gold is a hobby, and I want to experience happiness while engaging in my hobby. 🙂

Hello everyone, Having been prospecting for over 15 years, I've made numerous discoveries in my region in Canada. Unfortunately, I'm a compulsive buyer and seller, having used several detectors such as the Garrett AT Gold, ATX, Gold Bug 2 and Pro, Nokta Makro, Nox, Gold Monster 1000, and I've probably forgotten a few. At present, all sold! I'm seeking your advice for my next purchase. Some detectors I've been using are starting to age, notably the AT Gold and the Gold Bug series. Currently, the Minelab GPX 6000 seems to dominate the market. Some also mention the Axiom and the intriguing AQ Impulse from Fisher, although it never seems to officially materialize in a prospecting-dedicated version. The GoldMaster 24k also seems interesting and is reasonably priced. Note that I absolutely hated the GoldMonster 1000... My usage mainly focuses on riverbeds that have already been extensively searched in the past, requiring today's technologies to find what others haven't discovered! I'm reaching out to you, the prospecting community. In 2024, what would be your choice for a new machine? Have you heard of new machines that will be on the market soon? Thank you in advance for your advice and shared experiences. Joel
