Shelton Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Check some more videos from Australian prospectors. Some of them use it for gold prospecting and meteorite hunting. I can get pieces 1x1mm with it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I only tend to use units that have dealers and can be serviced somewhere in the U.S. The Deeptech machines were all the rage on the forums about three years ago, and I followed them with interest. Seems like a U.S. dealer appeared, there was lots of controversy, they went away, and that was about the end of it. At 25 kHz it should be hot enough but it never got any airplay in the prospecting community here. There really are just too many VLF machines showing up these days and so it takes something really aimed specifically at prospectors to get any attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
