Search for a suitable detector

[AndrewBokh]

Hello!
Please tell me about the choice of detector.
The depth is up to 3 meters. The search for gold. The size of the find is a pot of gold. The country is mountainous.
According to legend, a friend's grandfather buried gold coins. It is known where it is located, but the search area is about 200 square meters.
I'm looking for a suitable device. So far, I've looked at the br 20 pro for $2,000, but there are no reviews on it.
The detector's budget is a maximum of $2,500.
Please help me with the choice.

Those things don't work at all is my opinion. You need a two box and it will be very difficult to find at that depth. Two box is a metal detector with separate receiver and transceiver.
Good luck!

Эти штуки вообще не работают, по моему мнению. Вам нужен двухкоробочный, и на такой глубине будет очень сложно найти. Двухкоробочный — это металлоискатель с отдельным приемником и трансивером.
Удачи!

Можете ли вы порекомендовать несколько моделей, которые лучше всего подойдут? Вы можете выйти за рамки бюджета.

Translation:
Can you recommend several models that are best suited? You can go beyond the budget.

I have no experience with it, but you might look at the Xtrem Hunter accessory for the XP Deus II detector. See here for info.

At 3-meters deep, you need a bulldozer and a backhoe!

It's going to be difficult. There are trees on the territory. There's probably a treasure under one of them. but he was struck about 30 years ago and there is a fear that the roots of the trees could have dragged him deeper.

tell me.. do you have a backhoe to dig 3 meters deep ? 😲🤣

Andrew,

Unfortunately, the size of the object matters at that depth. If it were a big object, you might have some luck with a two-box detector. Or I've seen guys selling 1-meter and 2-meter coils. But they will not detect small objects. Sorry. A commercial Metal detector is just not going to work for the application you described. Don't be fooled by ads you might see on the internet.

As the guys have mentioned, you would be better digging the whole area with a backhoe if you are sure, it is there. Or scanning the area with a GPR. if the "Pot" is big enough.

Okay, I'll give you some more details. a few kilograms of gold and guns. Is that something you can find at this depth?

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Better be a very big pot of metal, as no detector is going to detect 3 meters or 10 foot on a small pot or chest.

 

[Terry Soloman]

Yes. You need a very large, draggable coil (2-meters x 3meters), and a Pulse Induction box, like a Minelab GPZ or GPX, Garrett Axiom maybe, So about a US$10,000.00 set up to realistically search that deep.

 

[AndrewBokh]

I can share my find with someone (1 kilogram of gold) who has such high-end equipment. All expenses, rubber expenses and equipment are on you. Success is not guaranteed

 

[cudamark]

Why would the grandfather dig 3 meters deep to bury the treasure? Doesn't make sense to dig that deep.

just thinking slightly outside the box.
Instead of using a metal detector why not use LIDAR instead..
It sounds as if there is or has not been agricultural activity on the target area..
The spot where the item has been buried may have settled over time to leave a small depression in comparison to surrounding ground.
Alternatively if you have to use a metal detector you could use % Fe3O4 feature available on some metal detectors to grid and scan for ground disruption . When the excavation was being back filled , all the soil would have been put back in all mixed up. therefore it would have a very different %Fe3O4 reading to surrounding areas.
I use this feature to identify areas of past human activity , to concentrate my grid search area .
The Fisher F5 has this feature, but I am sure other detectors have this potential tool as well .
hope that this is of some help

There is a Bulgarian company that sells, 1 meter and 2 meter coils.
with the DETECH SSP 5100, that would be under your budget or close to it.

I have one, I haven't been able to use it though.
But you may be able to get them to take up your adventure.
I hear the owner does a lot of metal detecting himself.

But again, the object needs to be big at that depth.
And, 200 sq.meter,
10 meters by 20 meters by 3 meters
30 feet by 60 feet by 9 feet
If you are sure, it's there.
Backhoe.

Rent heavy machinery. Very doubtful someone dug 9 feet in mountainous terrain.

Аренда тяжелой техники. Очень сомнительно, что кто-то выкопал 9 футов в горной местност

Rent heavy machinery. Very doubtful someone dug 9 feet in mountainous terrain.

The treasure is buried under a tree to a depth of about 1.5 meters. which tree is not clear. the roots could have dragged the treasure deeper. and somehow they buried him there) yes, this is a mountainous area. but 40 hours of work with a potential profit of $1 million makes you think.)
