Finding Gold, Coins & Buried Treasure

Whether you are hunting Roman coins in European fields, gold nuggets in mineral-rich terrain, or long-lost jewelry in a garden, TreasureHunter3D detectors are built to help you find it — and see it on screen before you dig.

GoldHunter — Recommended for Gold & Coins​

GoldHunter operates at 19 kHz VLF — a frequency particularly sensitive to gold and small metallic targets. Its three operating modes let you adapt to any situation:

  • Discrimination mode — filter iron trash and focus on high-value targets; see Target ID on screen
  • All-Metal mode — maximum depth and sensitivity for gold nuggets; use ground balance for mineralised soil
  • 3D Ground Scan — see the shape and position of the buried object before digging

Handheld Detectors — For 3D Ground Mapping​

To build a 3D map of a target area and see exactly where buried objects are before excavating, the handheld range pairs with the Visualizer app (iOS and Android) for a colour-coded grid showing probable target locations.

Tips for Better Results​

  • Calibrate ground balance before each session — soil mineralisation is the biggest factor reducing depth
  • Use All-Metal mode for maximum depth when searching for gold nuggets
  • Swing slowly and steadily — rushing reduces detection accuracy
  • Run 3D Ground Scan after an audio alert to visualise the object before digging
  • Avoid wet sand and saltwater — salt produces strong false signals; apply careful ground balance at beaches
