Not for Serious Prospectors!!!
Nugget Hunter in Visiter to Zimbabwe. -I sold my Eureka Gold for half of what I paid for it and I still feel that I overcharged the guy! My experience is as follows: Depth - Nothing deeper than 4-5 inches on small nuggets.
Discrimination - A sin where I come from and apparently also where this mashine comes from! - NOT GOOD.
Hot Rocks - It WILL let you know if there are any in a square mile around you.
Success Rate - I found 0.17 grams and it took me only a week! My buddy found around 1.5 KILO's Using what?.. The Minelab GPX 4500!
If you are serious about finding nuggets - DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY... Get a Minelab GPX 4500 instead!

Very Dissapointing Performance
Brian in California, USA -After reading the manual and using all the settings, I find this detector to be marginally effective. If you are in the market for a good detector this is not it. This unit would not pick up gold that I had mined in a placer operation: I ran the gold across the coil and no response!!!! To say the least I am not happy with this unit. For the money I spent I could have bought a much better detector from some one else. Now I will have to start saving again to buy a real detector that functions correctly. Also my Eureka will not punch through hot rocks or mineralized soil which reduces its depth of detection. This machine really goes off on hot rocks and iron, and it treats all targets the same way - no tone ID. I bought minelab once but never again!!!

Over Priced
Jim in Arizona, US -It does not work as claimed, not even close. Get a Whites, Tesoro or Garret. Minelab Eureka Gold s**ks.
