Australian Metal Detector Can Detect Gold and Gems From Hundreds of Meters

A Long Range Metal Detector has been successfully built in Australia. It has proven that it can detect gold, precious metals, gemstones and even treasure horizontally up to a kilometre away.

It has been two years in the making and relies on unique resonant frequency electronics to swing an antenna in the direction of the target.
The user then follows the unit's antenna to where directly above the buried material, it swings in a circle to indicate the objective.

Users report it is light (half a kg) and saves time when metal detecting.

It can be used on it's own or with a standard metal detector.

Gold reefs have been located from kilometres away unseen in the Australian bushland. The inventor said yesterday that deposits of important minerals can be easily detected using the instruments from kilometeres away.

More than 100 of the Long Range Locators made by Ranger-Tell have been sold already. Most in the US and Australia but units have also been purchased in Malaysia, Switzerland and Canada.

Co-developed by a geologist they are a breath of fresh air to the locating industry where similar units usually cost thousands of dollars. At the moment the units range from $39 to $899USD.

They feature discrimination, just like the standard metal beepers that are usually used by detectorists. The difference is that a beeper detector will only detect a few feet at most and in one spot at a time. The long range metal detectors made by Ranger-Tell will lock onto valuable targets at great distances, screening acres in minutes not days.

One of the features is a dial that will knock out smaller gold etc so that size is completely up to the user.
