Chinese gold detector, Tianxun. I'd like to know something on this TX850 G2 machine.

I bought this metal detector over the eBay. They claim it to be set specifically for gold detecting. I got it cheap, direct from China. So far I didn't get a chance to try it in the field for gold detecting, but home made air-trials are so far coming out to be good. Did anyone purchase this model, too? Does anyone have any experience with it in the field? So far, I see very little about this TX850-G2 detector on YouTube. I just got it short time ago. I purchased also one 5" mono coil, and one 15" * 12" DD style extra coils for it, arrived just last week. The 5" is for sensitivity on very fine nuggets, and the 12" * 15" for deep nugget detecting. The machine herself came with 8" * 12" coil.

As I understand it, that machine is a Chinese made clone of the
Teknetics G2, with a clone of a Garrett coil.

I could not find specifications on it..do you have any paperwork
that shows the operating frequency?

Instruction says it is a 19 kHz machine

give us a field report

Same as the Teknetics G2 They upgraded it, and it's now sold as the G2+.

At 19 kHz, it can certainly be good for gold, but, the question is can
it handle the mineralization in the soil?

I suggest watching some gold prospecting YouTube video's for the Teknetics G2,
and that should give you some answers. Keep in mind that your machine is
a copy, and may not have the same performance as the Teknetics G2.

If it is anything like the G2 clone that I purchased then it will not ground balance very well. I ended up tossing mine in the rubbish bin....Yes it was that bad.

Dont expect anything to work on a cheap POS chinese clone.

Even the cct board in my clone had the Teknetics brand and part number on it. Too bad they did not clone the performance

These detectors are brilliant, easily keeps up with my top end machines
