Steve Herschbach Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Funny, Chris Ralph was just wanting a 30 kHz VLF. DeTech makes some good coils (I own a couple) but I have no idea about detectors from them or if they even make them themselves. Interesting though.

deathray Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yes,I remember that. Ok Detech,Im no Steve or Keith,but I can beat the hell out of a detector with the best of them...Ill gladly be a tester, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The detector sure reminds me of an old Tesoro just from the looks of the control box for some reason. Overall it looks like a Minelab PI. Probably aimed at the African market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relichunter Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I use Detech coils on a regular base and find them very stable, they are built very well. I found this .9 gram nugget at 9-10 inches. Barely heard it, but with such a stable threshold I managed to hear it. I been over this spot with Commander coils and Nuggetfinder coils and missed it, since that nugget many more were found. I am not sure about the detectors but I think I saw a video on U-Tube of someone testing a Detech Gold Catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathray Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Probably is aimed at African market...make it look like a gp,then add some goofy graphics...still,would like to see how it does at that frequency, and likerelic says,they do have a good rep for their coils.

argyle Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Remember the Desert Gold vlf unit around 14khz a few years back, with the Camel picture on it? These Detech Gold Catchers are very closely modeled on those but higher in khz. Unfortunently just like the Detech EDS units, they cannot hold their ground balance further than 3 feet even on medium ground. And are useless on hot ground. They are however extremly powerfull/deep on dead quiet ground and are extremly sensitive like the EDS models. They will hit on small gold in these quiet ground types far further than any VLF unit. As for the Detech coils, both PI and VLF....Excellent!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norvic Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Recall a Detech or similar spelling (senior memory) back after the A2B came out, it`s coils were interchangeable with the A2B, and gave better performance. If they are the same Co. they have been silent for many years, at least in OZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argyle Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yeah that's the old D-TEX Gold King you're thinking of Norvic, running at 15kHz and sharing coils with the A2b. They were really good units and I prefered them to A2b's construction wise. Heaps to choose from in that coil range from small snipers to big 14 inchers too. This new Detech mob are from Bulgaria and their coils are tops. I just wish they knew how to make a VLF with a usuable manual ground balance and a better threshold, because matched with their beaut sef coils the machines would be deadly. Here's an ugly little gold booger I hit with one of their EDS 's and sef coil. It screamed like a banshee, but sadly if their ground balance system and threshold correlation was better, it would have hit this piece in hot ground no sweat! image hosting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
