  • Weight (incl. batteries): 1.35 kg with 23 cm (9") search coil
  • Warranty: 5 years - the electronics; 2 years - the bat. charger and the coil
  • Golden Mask 5 is an extremely fast machine with LCD screen. Integrated wireless transmitter and wireless headphones are included in the package. Like all the top-models of the brand, this machine has super-fast recovery speed thanks to its two processor units. The recovery speed allows the machine to successfully reveal good targets (coins and others) between or even under iron trash. That's why the GM5 is so good on old settlements and parks, where a lot of trash is present.
  • The GM5 offers real dual-frequency operation - you have two fully operational machines in one body - 8kHz for search on mineralized soils and for relic hunting with large coils, and 18kHz for fast operation and high sensitivity to hard-to-detect metals as gold.
  • The large monochrome display with spectrum VDI helps identifying targets with ease.
  • GM5 also have real all-metal mode - you hear all the metals under the coil and identifying them is possible only by the Spectrum VDI on screen, but in this mode the machine achieves better depths.
  • This model comes with better battery, but has shorter working times than the other models: 7 hours at 8kHz and 8 hours at 18kHz and this is because of the power consumption of the two processor units and the screen.
  • The telescopic 100% carbon shaft makes the set very easy to transport. Because of packaging limitations, the Golden Mask 5 is delivered with small coils only, but you can always purchase another coil if needed. The Golden Mask 5 has English controls and menu only.

A bit heavy for a woman but great machine

by Lisa Wilson in Coventry. England. - best

My husband has enjoyed using his Golden Mask 5 for over five years now. And when he finally let me try it, I really enjoyed the simplicity of the menu, and I found a silver bracelet about 10 inches down. So I was happy, but it did get a bit heavy later on but I am not the strongest to be honest. Did I want to give it back to my husband ? No. Would I recommend it for kids? Not really. Would I recommend the GM5 for adults? Definitely yes as it is a quality item and it is very well built.
