[QUOTE="Motherlode7555, post: 616479, member: 21563"] Hello mates, I'll cut to the chase though I'm new here. I have a location where a large jar of gold coins is allegedly buried. I've been up there with Goldmask ii, Fisher Gemini 3, and now a GPX-5000. No luck, but lots of trash at the location, so many many holes dug in forest soil filled with big rocks and roots, the absolute worst. I am not a prospector, but I have much respect for you all on this forum as you speak it like it is. I've had a Jeohunter 3D recommended to.me for this hunt, but these sell for $3000 and Re-sell for about $1500, are they any good for this? I've also heard strange things such as large gold.coin masses reading as a magnet would, for a detector? A similar jar of lead coin size weights was only being "seen" by the GPX5000 at about 20", and this stash I'm hunting is likely to be deeper than that. I would have thought a target this large would be screaming for any detector, but I've heard everything from it'll detect the whole stash as one coin at a time to it's basically silent or sounds like a magnet would. I have no way of testing this obviously. Would a LARGE coil on the GPX discriminate out the small trash? Would a Jeohunter 3D be better for finding this ? Or something else? It's a small enough area I'd love to bulldoze it down until I find it or run out of dirt, but I can't attract that kind of attention to the area. I appreciate all replies mates. [/QUOTE]
