Easy Machine for Newbies

by Central Aussie prospector in Alice springs , Australia -

For those just getting into detecting, it is a good start if budget is an issue. Good for detecting gold relics or just gold jewelry on the beach. Plus, you will get plenty of enjoyment digging deep holes.

From a Novice

by Mick in Bundy QLD -

I have a GP3500 and have found pieces weighing from 1/2gr to 3 1/2oz. All up 12oz. OK, this detector may not like hot rocks but it is a serious machine. Just bought a lightweight battery amp and rearing to go again.

Horse Shoe Detector... maybe?

by "Just trying to help" in USA -

I'm sure this mahine is great for finding Horse shoes, but you will see that once it is switched ON, it will proof to be one of the best gold detectors as well! It does, however, have a drawback - it cannot swich itself on and if the operator can't find the "On-Off" switch, chances are he will have a hard time finding gold. READ and UNDERSTAND the owner's manual before you try to operate this machine! (The white plastic round "thing" at the end of a shaft is an electronic search coil - not a shovel!). Just trying to help...

VLF Cannot Outperform It!

by Matt64914 in Ballarat, Australia -

Whoever operated the GP 3500 must have had it switched off as there is no possible way your VLF could outperforme a GP unless the operator had no idea what he was doing or the machine was faulty.

VLF Outperformed it in Mild Soil

by Auflu in California -

I took the Minelab dealer with me to my claim to see if he could find nuggets that were too deep for my White's Goldmaster. The GP3500 didn't find anything, and completely missed a 2 dwt nugget that I found with my GMT only 6 inches deep, after first checking the area with the Minelab. I think its good for finding horseshoes though, which I hear is good luck.
