Hello guys I hope everyone is ok, I would like to advise me and suggest me to buy an appropriate detector , I want to find everything underground not just gold , I love so much finding old and ancient objects , they're a testimony of the past because I love history and archeology, so this is my intention and I want this detector or these detectors go deeper I am talking about 1 meter or more. Please help

delta 4000 / ace 250 - used BH and many others too
for 3 feet (1 meter) or deeper -- your going to want a two box type detector --its for finding larger old caches of items

Welcome.PNG Most detectors can only get half a meters at best. A two box like Ivan mentioned will work but only on larger objects, not coins.

A meter isn't realistic If you by a box detector you are going to be digging a lot of very big very deep holes to find mostly beer cans and berried modern trash.

Its Russian video but impressive depth on a "small" box?

A conventional detector with a large coil will also go that deep (1 meter), but, only if it's a large target. Deeper than that and you'll need a two box. If you have a good site with deep targets, I'd build a sifter and start shoveling. I think you'll find most "accidentally" buried items will be 2 feet deep or less.....well within the range of a good top of the line detector with the proper coil.

Hello guys ! Thanks for your answers, I really appreciate that, I am from from North Africa we have here many many pricey underground objects, many civilizations passed from here, sometimes we find roman coins on surface without digging, imagine that! I study ancient roman history, and as hobby I love exploring underground , I was thinking about Garrett at gold , what do you think?

GPZ-7000 or GPX 4800 or 5000 for what you say you have already found. Without a question. Any of them will find larger targets 1 meter or much more depending on object being detected and coil size. If those are out of the budget a Whites TDI-Pro would be my next choice.

For shallower targets, that would work ok, but, it's really not enough machine to do what you want to do. Look the high end PI Minelabs if your area is not too junky. As Fletch mentioned, if price is a problem, check out the Fisher F75 and Garrett ATX also.
