High End Metal Detectors

[dbear123]

Hi! I need a detector that is good for detecting gold bars and can go really deep. Any suggestions?

If you are finding gold bars where are they I will help dig...

Welcome to Tnet! How deep is "really deep"? How big are the bars?

 

[RobRieman]

What detector are you using now?

Thanks! Several feet 20 to 50ft is there a reliable detector that can reach those depths? I am not sure how big each bars are.

Ive used Makro deephunter pro and Okm rover c2. I don't own either.

How are you going to reach those 50' deep bars of gold? Hand digging?

 

[The Dirt Pirate]

I'd say if the bars are that deep and you already know where they're at just rent some heavy equipment and start digging.

Talk to Keppy...pretty sure he only uses "top name brand detectors" according to his sig....he should have all the info on hand.

There is no detector going to see that deep. Have you ever dug a hole only 10 ft deep?

 

[Liu21]

50ft deep... **** you know how hard it is deeping a hole 4-5ft deep?? dude must be trolling, 50 feet... LOL..

 

[bill from lachine]

lol.....going that deep ain't going to happen regardless of the machine.

Why would someone bury them 50' deep? For one thing you would risk someone seeing you dig that giant crater for weeks and give up your hiding spot, then you would have to dig it back up to retrieve it while someone waited to steal it from you. Sounds like an Oak Island mystery.

dbear , RobRieman is right. Ask yourself how an object is any- more -hidden, whether it's 1 ft deep, versus 20, versus 50 ft. deep . As long as the top ground is covered back up, then what the heck difference does it make to go deeper still? Isn't the purpose of burying to hide it from others? Thus so long as the surface ground is returned to normal, then going deeper doesn't hide it any better. In fact, it makes no sense. I mean, doesn't the person who hid it, intend to come back for it some day ? Have you ever dug a hole 10 ft. deep manually ? Or, heck, 50 ft. ? You're talking all-day work !

I'll even go a step further and say that anytime someone comes on talking of "gold bars" at "3 to 5 meters" (20 to 50 ft) is gauranteed to be superstition, lore, ghost stories, and usually coming from a 3rd world country like Mexico of Phillippines, where 'sure-fired-treasures" are in every cave.

metal detectors would not be the favored equipment for those depths. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is what you need.

Top end two-box metal detectors may detect a gold brick at two meters . . . maybe. A dozen large bars together maybe three meters in ideal soil.

50 feet would need magic - like a long range detector or dowsing. Because nothing man made could do it.

Don't forget , when we think of the word "brick", we're thinking of Ft. knox type "bricks", right ? Ie.: like the type bricks in chimney sized. However, if you've ever seen gold bars ("bricks") of antiquity, they're often the size of Snicker bar size and shape. A single "bar" that size would be too small to be seen by a 2-box. But sure: if you had multiple together, then sure

So someone dug a 50ft deep hole to hide gold bars? Seems unlikely! I would think they would hide gold where they can retrieve it WITHOUT help. but more importantly, find it. Even if they knew roughly where they buried it, the chances of finding it, in the bottom of a 50ft deep hole is very slim. You might rethink how you came to this conclusion. But, hey good luck I hope you find it.

This is just more third-world rumors and legends. If you dig and dont find it, it must have been just a few feet deeper.

So true. For some reason though, whenever treasure legends get born (which are all iron-clad true, of course, yeah), they're always of necessity "3 to 5 meters" (9+ to 15+ ft!) deep. If anyone here has ever dug that deep by hand (even in easy-to-dig sand), you'd see this is utter folly.
