The V-Sat is a really capable gold detector I've got a GM-2 and a GM-3....the 2 before the V-sat, and the 3 after. The 3 is still my favorite gold detector, and I've got a GM24K, too, and have owned a GMT. The earlier Gm's required manual ground balance, so a little more difficult to learn and use, but very sensitive.

Thanks for the feedback (I really need to study the manual).
--Was the V/Sat designed more to find gold nuggets over gold jewelry or ??? I can't find a lot of info on it.--

Just read the manual intro, answered my own question... :icon_salut:

You may be able to find parts (electronic components) at Centreville Electronics, the Whites repair center. Battery holder for it should be available at Amazon, or other places. It's just an 8-cell penlight AA battery holder.

The V-Sat was one of the best detectors ever built. Buy this book for yourself, mine paid for itself many times over... I wish that I had never sold it...

You got it, Reed! I'm never selling my GM3.
