Low frequency machine

[Tseeker]

What good quality machines less than 10khz operating frequency that work well in mineralized soil for coin hunting are still being made? I know for example that Fisher has discontinued some of their oldies but goodies like the 1212x.

The Minelab Xterra line runs on 7.5khz with the stock coil, the 70 (now the 705) also will accept a 3khz coil. I have the 70 and love it.

Don't forget the White's XLT @ 6.59 kHz. It is a well known coin-grabber. Been in production 15 years but may end soon.

The new Whites Vision/Spectra V3 can run a single frequency as low as 2.5 kHz.
There is also the 7.5 kHz and then the 22.5 kHz.
Can run a single frequency or all 3 at one as designed.
This is a new machine on the market and I have a long ways to go knowing many things about it. Can't comment on high mineralization yet.

The Garrett GTI 2500 would fit the bill

The new minelab x-terra 505 also goes as low as 3khz

A DD coil solves all the problems regardless of brand of machine.

For versitility its hard to better the Minelab Xterras, but smaller coils and DD coils will make most machines deadly under most circumstances...just a matter of which machine/coil combination suits you needs and the area which you hunt. HH Sapper.
