hi
I am a treasure hunter in IRAN.
I want to know which metal detector is suitable for treasure huinting according our needs .
almost our treasure positioned at depth of 1 meter upto 6 meter. and our soil generally are mineralized.
we need a metal detector to detects objects at the size of a kettle or biger at 2 metere and above.
we can pay atmost 7000$ for it. we expect it to determine the type of metal , its depth and size(if its possible), but depth and type are more important.
what is you Idea about OKM Rover Deluxe , or MineLab gp3500 , or maybe garret gti2500 ?

thank you inadvance.

Greetings Ehsan,

Welcome to the forum..I've been metal detecting since 1995 and have recently upgraded to Fisher's ID Edge which I purchased new this past spring. I live in the US the state of VA which is also similar to your soil in Iran in that it is heavily mineralized.

I guess the biggest question is what sort of "treasures" are you seeking: what type of coins (gold, silver, bronze etc,) and or relics from past civilizations? I think once you've answered that question then you can move onto type of detector that you're looking to buy. I can't comment on the other detectors that you mentioned in your earlier post since I have never used any of them-but I can comment on Fisher's ID Edge and I have pulled numerous old coins (US Indian Head cents, Barber dimes), and various bullets and buttons from the US American Civil War (1861-1865). I have been very pleased with this detector for my style of hunting. I purchased it on line from www.Kellyco.com and i paid around $650.00 US not near the $7000 you stated earlier-no detector costs that much $$$

How are the laws/regulations in Iran regarding detector users like yourself-make sure you check out all the rules/laws to avoid any type of problem from the legal authorities in your country. Good luck and HH (happy hunting!)

For that kind of depth and soil, I would go with a Nexus, Minelab GPX 4000 or if you use the Garrett GTI 2500, you will need the Treasure Hound Eagle Eye attachment. Good hunting, David@Dixie
