A gold metal detector can do more than uncover precious metals they can also be used to find coins as well or any other kind of metal. Gold metal detectors are among the most sought-after metal detectors and are not made to work in areas that have a lot of trash like pull tabs.

Not even the best Gold metal detector will be able to properly function in some conditions where you have a lot of trash. For that you want a coin detector with a good discrimination circuit. For example, seawater or saltwater can interfere with the electromagnetic field generator pattern. (That’s a fancy term for what the Precision Gold metal detector uses to help find good metal stuff). If the metal objects have been buried more than six or seven inches deep underground, then that could be too deep for the Precision Gold metal detector.

Almost any metal detector can detect gold but one designed for this operation like the Fisher Gold Bug.

The Gold bug while not cheap is inexpensive compared to the top of the line minelab at over $4000.00

Fisher metal detectors have been around for a very long time. The Gold Bug is one of the most popular gold prospecting detectors on the market. The Gold Bug is so popular for a very good reason it sniffs out the gold.
