i'm using the golden king dpr plus, but i have a problem that when i test for gold the detector dosen't write gold it writes other.
does any one help me?


Waseem, calm down and I'll try to help you! Please don't repeat the same question all over the forum. Consider starting a new thread in the appropriate section for your future questions.

Your Nokta is the newer version from mine, but the principles should be the same. I need some information from you:

1) What kind of target did you use to run the test? How big, what gold content?
2) Did you run the test indoor or outside?
3) Did you follow the proper procedure for ground-balancing? (this is very important)
4) Is this your first metal detector?

thanks for reply

1.I used a gold 21 Carat,i think it 20g of gold,it contnent is mixed(Rings,... etc).
2.I did it indoor and outdoor but same result.
3.I did the ground-balance as it described in the user guide and get 8/8 on automatic ground-balancing,if there is an error please tell me about the right way to do the ground-balance well, and if you have some notes to tell me.
4.yes this is the first one.

Please I want to ask how can I check the golden king plus from its software or hardware that it can detect gold or not?
Note: i'm a computer engineer.

The Golden King can detect gold..but not small gold (like rings and slim gold chains). If you come across a natural vein of gold that is long and sufficiently wide, the Golden King can detect it (I speak from personal experience). This machine is more of a larger object/cache detector, running at 12.5kHz.

Do not let this discourage you, because one machine cannot perform all the various kinds of detection. For prospecting of natural gold and smaller pieces of gold jewellery, I use the Fisher Gold Bug Pro with 5" and 10" DD coils. It works very well for the purpose it was designed.

One last thing: if your Nokta gives a repeatable and consistent signal on a target, I would advise you to dig it, regardless of whatever analysis result appears. No machine is perfect, and the serious detectorist will dig all targets. Better to do that than to miss out on a target!

If you are looking for a cache of buried gold (not one of two small pieces of rings/thin necklaces), learn to operate the machine and u will be able to trust it. Test your Nokta out on other metal objects (eg brass vase, coca cola can, a square foot of aluminum sheet etc) and see how it responds as well as what analysis is given on the screen. This is all part of the learning process. And once you see that the Nokta can detect and differentiate various metals, you will grow more confident of the machine as well as your detectorist abilities.

If your intent is to look for natural gold, you will be better off using the Fisher Gold Bug Pro which runs at 19kHz. The higher the frequency, the better the machine can detect small gold. Good luck!

3 possibilities:
1) The metal is not gold.
2) The metal is gold but is too small for the machine to detect accurately.
3) The machine is not calibrated properly.

Try using other pieces of gold to test. If you know a goldsmith, ask for permission to point the coil at his stock. Have you written to Nokta support about this?

To have a positive detection, a target must exist in the first place. But go ahead and blame your machine if it makes you feel better.

Hi Hobbyist,

    It's long time I'm not able to visit this forum bcoz I'm so busy. Anyway in 3 years using of Nokta the learning still grow-up and you are right you should always perform a ground balance and you should always observe the texture of ground if the same where you performed the ground balance because if not, you get the false result and take note that the true item have a big value of metal in digital metal gauge. As I observe with the comparison of my TM-808 with Icon Data Logger the Nokta is reliable result than my TM-808 but I use 1st the TM-808 because  this is easy to used even a big area and if TM-808 found a potential target. Nokta is the final to confirm if it is true target.
