Wife got our son a toy that will help him find "big gold" like Dad and Grandpa (he says that even though we've yet to find the mythical big gold). That thing sounds off with or without a target but the light will change from green to red when it goes over metal. Of course it's nuts inside the house with all the metal throughout. He likes it though so I'm not complaining. I'd love to find something big enough to fill the back of the truck.

Hi Steve, please I need your advise on the detetctor that I just ordered from China, Nugget 9.5inch, waterproof coil with 9.6khz. Its sold by Chinavasion. I actually ordered before getting to know about this site of yours and as someone with little or no knowledge about the detetctor, I go for something cheap and also with a reasonable depth. The depth of this machine is 3.5m. I am writing this because I could still cancel the order if I know it won't be functional. I also noticed yesterday that most of the detectors from US give 5yrs warranty while this one gave just 1yr warranty. Please kindly advise. Anybody else could give helpful hints. I will also like to know what the FREQUENCY rating means to a detetctor. Thanks

I primarily do placer gold prospecting by working river gravel bars on Northern California's Klamath river and across alluvial fans here in Nevada. I have an old White's XLT Spectrum that's great for coins but is terrible for gold detecting. Does anyone know anything about the Lorenz Deepmax Z1 from Germany? I cannot find any reviews. This detector was recommended by a popular detector re-saler over a GPX 5000 for my sort of prospecting. The gravel bars can often run deep and are covered with cobbles and creek run boulders. Is it realistic to think that one might locate the pay streaks with a deep detector or is that wishful thinking? Yes, I am shooting for larger specimens. There are a huge variety of hot rocks where I prospect and a variety of mineralization in the desert washes. Any thoughts or recommendations would be deeply appreciated. An aside, there are so many cheap Chinese copies that one really dare not buy a used GPX 5000. One cannot tell the fake from the real article over the internet. Chances are, many people who own a knock-off might not even know with certainty whether it is real Swiss cheese or Chinese.
