Hello fello members,
This is such a great site so i hope to get some responces over the next few years and beyond.

Anyway , i just wanted members responces as to what equipment they use and recommend...
i have the following questions to help with your responces ....

1. Which detector have you found that will 3d map and detect voids deep under ground( at least feom 1 foot  upto at least 25 feet )?
2. Differentiate metals found within the void
3. Would the same euipment be used to find hidden rooms fromwith in the structure. ie.  would you hold it against the wall or on tothe ceiling to  see if  you have a void behind the wall or above you...
4. As  most equipment is  probably battery operated, is there a generator of favour that experienced T.hunters use to keep fully charged?

In my search i have come across OKM that seens to have the equipment as per the above but maybe there is better out there for me to investigate.
Any and all advice and help would be much appreciated...

Would you also like the model that drills down and digs out the finds? It's a bit more pricey but, hey, it does save lots of time.

You need to do some serious checking on OKM detectors.

Personally I think there just a Money Pit with in them selves.

I have NEVER heard of one working as advertised.

Sounds like you want some type of GPR   (Ground Penetrating Radar)

No it's not. The metal detector you asked for doesn't exist and neither does the one I suggested.

It would be in your best interest to read some of the questions already asked here on this subject. I was pulling your leg. Don't worry. It'll heal.

Sorry, you're getting this reaction because even though you did not mean to do so, you're essentially asking "what's the metal detecting equivalent of a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport that will haul at least 60 tons of ore through swamps and over deserts while using no more than 7.1 l/km?"

Take Homefire's and GD's serious responses to heart.   If there is a company that is going to make such a claim, it will be OKM but before you go looking seriously at OKM read the previous posts.

What you are asking for is not possible with today's technology and may never be possible due to the limitations of our physical world. One other thing comes to mind as well. Why would you search for a void? By definition, that is an empty space or a cave. Either way, if it is empty, it's quite useless to you as a treasure site. As to deep seeking of metals, there is a limit to that unless you believe in magical searching using divining and ESP. It just isn't practical. We have super long range sensors on satellites these days but they do not find a bucket of coins or a vein of gold. They find entire deserts of ice on planets around Saturn.

Some day, your dream machine will be available. Make a note to Santa Claus at the North Pole.
