LOL!

That's why you find so many Tequila bottles and Price Albert cans around mining camps.

They Tasted better.

Any one know anything about the Fisher Gemini3 2 box mag? I know it won't discriminate but it sure as hell will tell you if there is a substantial amount of metal in the ground. Or not?

steven 77,
  if you are looking for a buried cache, then the chanes are that it is buried at a depth near six feet, maybe more.
  the detector you seek is out there, it is the arc-geo mini.  you can go to utube and type in "arc-geo mini" and view some actual footage of this machine at work.  cost is important, and the geo-mini costs about 1500 dollars, that includes the lap-top computer.  this machine will go down deeper than you need to go down.  do you have a map or treasure signs leading you to this specific area?

If you are purely looking for gold bars unless they are packed inside a metal chest or any metal container, PI MD will not detect gold randomly......the advantage is PI could cover a larger area ......check before heading to your treasure site.

Good luck.

You stand a good chance of detecting the cache if you use the DeepTech Megapulse III or Megapulse SR 126.  These are good machines and you could detect a drink can down to 5 feet using them whereas you couldn't detect such similar can at such depth by using the 2 box.

  I will always stand by the arc-geo mini....for several reasons.  The first reason is the depth that you can get from this combined unit, which I have personally experienced depths of 20 plus feet.  You can also detach the "steriod unit" and use the two-box as a normal metal detector, which is what it is.
  The "steriod unit" allows for you to collect information within the unit, then down-load it to your computer.  The read out of this unit gives a "view" and shows exactly where your treasure is located.  It works by placing wooden stakes, or some other marker, at each point where a reading is taken.  Once down loaded, you can go to the exact spot that shows the treasures resting place.  Even more, you can turn the image sideways to get the exact depth of the treasure.  This information is so important, the operation of this unit is so easy, yet for the money, you cannot go wrong.  As I stated, I spent about 1600 dollars for the arc-geo, which included a lap top computer for use in the field.
  You also have technical support from the man who invented and sells this unit, Mr. Tim Williams.  It is my personal opinion that this unit, for the money, is the VERY BEST money that a treasure hunter can spend.  The results are similar to GPR, but at a fraction of the cost of a GPR unit.
  Go to You Tube and search "arc-geo mini".

Go Up Go Down

I purchased the Garrett CX 11 Grand Master hunter that would go this deep if you purchased the two box attachment.  This would most likely be a cheaper way to hunt deep caches.  I was going to purchase this attachment however, the dealer said he tried this attachment and dug farmers trash sites, so I gave up that idea, but if I was real sure of this location, I would consider purchasing the two box for my CX 11.  If I did not have the detector for the two box attachment, I would have to purchase the 2500, it also will take the two box attachment.  Never used this detector with the two box attachment, however, I was told it worked well, but as anything you would have to practice.  Good luck, it would be interesting to hear about.

Can you afford to update us on this or are you nursing your sore back from lifting it all?

Hello!

I believe this long lost cache could be very deep. Possibly 3 feet or more down.

The area is heavily forested and on a pretty steep slope so the hunting is difficult to say the least.

I have been saving up for the detector that I think would give me the best chance of locating it should I walk over the top of its location and I have decided on this unit.

I figure I will be able to purchase it in about a month, just in time for the snow to be gone at its 4200 foot elevation.

Thanks for your inquiry and I?ll keep ya posted on my search.

Stay safe,

Steven

I do not know if the Garrett 2-box will pick up small items,but I think it does.  However the Discovery 9000 or the Whites 808 2-box WILL NOT pick up anything smaller than a pop can saving u time and labor. A pulse detector with a large coil 36in or a square 48x48in would work,but does not discriminate unless u have one that has ferris (rusting) and non ferris (non rusting) meter or lights on it.  A 2-box will only go down about 3 feet on an object the size of a cigar box and a pulse with big head would probavly go deeper as mine does with a 4 ft head.The larger the cache the deeper the 2-box will go to a point.   jmho.  Bob in sw.mo.If u believe in someone dowsing the place for u then for say 50 bucks it may have bebefits for you. The only way to save time and labor on your back.

 Somewhere around 1200 euro's.  Anyone ever use any of the rex machines? They also seem similiar, but less money.
