This is my first Detech detector and I'm very impressed. The machine is super accurate with its target ID, and the VLF tech is really responsive. It feels light even with the larger coil, so I can hunt longer without fatigue. Would definitely buy again.
I live in Arizona and needed something that could handle tough terrain. The Desert Gold 3 lives up to its name. It performs really well in hot, dry ground and doesn't go crazy with false signals. Battery lasts a long time too,huge plus!
I've been using the Desert Gold 3 for a few weeks now, and I'm super impressed with the depth and sensitivity. The 13" coil is a beast perfect for open fields. Found a few old coins and even a silver bracelet on my last trip. Solid build and really easy to tune.
The Desert Gold 3 is easily one of the best mid-range VLF detectors I've owned. Super easy to set up, handles EMI well, and those Ultimate coils really help pick out deeper signals. Great for relics, coins, and even gold nuggets if you're patient. 5 stars from me!
This Pro Pack is a killer deal with both the 11.5" and 13" coils. I use the smaller one when I want more precision and the big one for covering ground. The detector handles mineralized soil better than I expected. Lightweight, responsive, and a lot of fun to use.
