The hunt for gold is back on with the amazing new Tesoro Lobo Super Traq! Just like in the Old West, with people running to the hills of California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska in the search for gold and gold nuggets, a new rush is forging ahead and leading the way.

Gold prospecting with a metal detector is usually one of being in the right place at the right time. Interferences, ground cover, mineral deposits, hot rocks, and a number of other variables can make finding nuggets a problem for most gold nugget detectors. However, in just a short time with a new Tesoro Lobo Super Traq I was able to find several picker nuggets in places I'd considered hunted out in the past.

Tesoro Lobo Super Traq Solves Every Gold Hunters Problem

One of the things that has always plagued me as a gold hunter, and I know it's a problem with most detectorists, is that of ground balance. I like to hunt for gold at an old abandoned prospecting camp that rests along a stretch of flat, solid, ground between two iron rich peaks. Not the best place, but I know that others, including myself have had success there. With the Tesoro Lobo Super Traq, ground interference was eliminated and the machine balanced itself giving me a better chance at finding nuggets, especially those buried deeper. That's where all the good ones are anyway!

The Tesoro Lobo Super Traq also contains technology known as “discriminating circuity”, which is every gold hunter's dream come true! With discriminating circuity you can now expand your prospecting to include hunting for treasures such as jewelry, coins, and other artifacts – no more single-purpose gold detector. In fact, the Tesoro Lobo Super Traq is quite a multi-tasking metal detector.

Add to all that the power to be able to hunt for gold, or other treasures, in shallow freshwater (like the kind I find in my favorite hunting spot) and you have a very powerful, precise, and dependable metal detector that's versatile enough to take most anywhere.

Tesoro Lobo Super Traq Specs

The Tesoro Lobo Super Traq delivers fast and accurate results because of the amazing technology built into it. The main features include:

- Computerized Tracking System
- Silent Search Discriminating Mode
- Much Improved Depth Increase
- 10" Widespread Elliptical Coil
- Normal Soil and Alkali Tracking Modes
- Automatic Self-Balancing
- Adjustable Threshold

If you're like me, then you probably have used several different detectors during your time hunting for gold or other buried treasures. I even use to take at least two, and sometimes three, different detectors with me depending on ground, interference and what I'm searching for. Since I bought a Tesoro Lobo Super Traq I now only take one. And I even sold one of the others that I usually carry, which made the Super Traq an even better deal.

Metal detecting is a great hobby that involves treasure hunting, research, adventure, hiking, and long walks along the beach. The great thing about metal detecting is you never know what is hiding under the surface waiting for someone like you to come along and find it. Along with metal detecting is the sub-culture of gold prospecting. Gold prospecting with a Minelab GP3500 is a tremendously satisfying experience with the latest in metal detecting technology. But of course, the latest and greatest comes with a price. Is it worth it?

A Minelab GP3500 has the ability to take you on incredibly journeys of hunting for gold nuggets hidden under the earth in even the most extreme and remote places. You'll lose yourself in the amazing new metal detector from Minelab that brings both amazing experiences, great stories you can tell your grandchildren, and even be able to produce the treasures dug up with the ultra-sensitive metal detector.

The Minelab GP3500 is the newest in the GP line from Minelab. It is also destined to be one of the better gold nugget finders in production today. Minelab went above and beyond with the new GP3500 from the placement of the knobs and switches to make things more efficient to the ability to adjust the tracking mode with three available speeds.

Gold nuggets are not going to be safe anymore!

Minelab GP3500 In The Field

Prospecting for gold nuggets is made much easier because of the incredible advancements and upgrades the GP3500 has on it's predecessors.

To start with, the Minelab GP3500 packs an arsenal of technology while weighing only 5.2 pounds. It doesn't even feel that heavy due to the overall balance of the detector and can easily be carried through grass, forests, dry stream beds, rocky grounds, and up and down mountain sides.

The stock 11" Double D coil is extremely powerful and can find small nuggets at depths of more than a foot. The best thing about the strength of this nugget finder is that it provides an optimal balance for the smaller nuggets at greater depths all the while cutting right through highly mineralized soil and even hot rocks littering the gold fields. Anyone who's been nugget hunting before knows what a blessing this provides, especially those of us who don't enjoy our metal detectors sounding like arcade machines when even a hint of mineralized soil is near.

Along with the powerful coil, the Minelab GP3500 also carries with it some amazing features such as:

• Dual Volt Technology which increases depth and sensitivity
• All Metal Discrimination setting which helps you cut through iron rich areas
• Automatic Tune Control cuts out all external interference (including power lines, airplanes, nearby electronics, etc) with the touch of a button
• "Quick Track" Button with two settings for Tracking or Fixed
• Three Speed Tracking featuring Fast, Medium, and Slow
• Soil Condition Switch lets the user select between normal, salt, or sensitive
• Boost Amplifier helps you hear even the faintest of signals
• Individual Controls for volume, threshold, tone, and signal

Field testers who are jumping on the chance to check out the new Minelab GP3500 are raving about the controls, the sensitivity, the ability to block out externals such as power lines and airplanes, and the range of depth. The Minelab GP3500 should bring amazing enjoyment to anyone prospecting for gold and show a definite improvement on the amount of gold nuggets you find.

In the end, only you can decide if Minelab's GP3500 is right for you. I think it's right for everybody, but that's if price is no concern. My suggestion is to find someone who owns one of these detectors, possibly in a local detecting club or local dealer who's willing to let you try one out (or at least show you how to use it). A lot can be learned by spending an afternoon in the field with a new detector, and this is perhaps the best way to decide if all the benefits of the GP3500 are worth it to you. But don't blame me if you find several gold nuggets and have to come up with an explanation for how you ended up buying a new detector when you promised to only "try it out". =)

Happy prospecting!

Treasure hunting with a White's MXT Metal Detector just might lead you to some hidden artifacts from a time long ago. Whether it is gold coins, gold nuggets in a stream bed, or ancient artifacts a White's MXT metal detector can help you find them. Many people are finding artifacts for the first time, after years of detecting, with a White's MXT.

Metal detecting has been a very popular pastime for millions of people all over the world. All it takes is a metal detector and you are on your way. A popular choice for treasure hunters is the White's MXT metal detector. In fact, many people will claim that a MXT outperforms other metal detectors they have had in the past.

How Does A White MXT Uncover More Treasure?

A White MXT is not just one metal detector. It is really like having three highly specialized metal detectors in one unit. Many of the people who own a MXT detector love the many built in features that are specific to a White MXT.

Detecting in different areas - sandy, grass, or wooded area - usually means that you either will get poor results or need to buy three different types of detectors. With a White MXT you can hunt for hidden treasures in all three areas without any problems with interference or decreased detection.

However, the MXT really pulls ahead of the competition with three separate detection modes. The MXT allows you to be able to hunt for coins and jewelry, relics, and even prospect for gold nuggets in a stream bed.

In the coins and jewelry mode you can find coins, rings, necklaces, watches, bracelets, and other types of buried coins and jewelry with an impressive VDI display and up to 12 inch depth. Relic mode offers VDI -95 to +94 with target blocks and target ID. But, the great power is in the prospecting mode which is patterned after White's own Goldmaster metal detector.

Able to detect even the smallest pieces because of the proven 12" spider coil, the White MXT metal detector is the favorite of many weekend hobbyists and serious treasure hunters.

Is An MXT Worth The Cost?

A White MXT can set you back anywhere from $700 to $900. Compared to other detectors is the MXT metal detector worth the cost? With the ability to perform three different detections, and in different ground cover, the MXT is well worth the cost. In fact, it is a savings to you because you don't need to buy different metal detectors.

There is an old Civil War battlefield near where I live and every once in a while I like to take a walk through it with my metal detector to see if I can find any artifacts, jewelry, coins, or other metal objects from that era. I have found a few things. Some Confederate coins, belt buckles, union buttons, and even small pellets. However, I realized I was leaving a lot of treasure on the ground when a friend of mine came over with a handheld pinpointer metal detector. He was finding things in places I have been over several times over the last few years. He once even found a few coins that he sold for over $3,500.

I wasn't really against handheld pinpointer metal detectors, but didn't think there was much use of having one since I already owned an expensive, full sized model that had plenty of bells and whistles. But, seeing my friend come over and begin cleaning up the field with his pinpointer detector, I quickly changed my mind.

Advantages of a Handheld Pinpointer Metal Detector

As I dug deeper into why my friend carried around the handheld detector I came to the conclusion that not only was he finding more than I was, but he was also a little bit smarter and faster than I was.

Handheld devices are smaller. That means they don't weigh as much and you can take them into places you wouldn't a full sized metal detector.

Handheld pinpointers can be slowly worked over an exact area to locate smaller objects easier than a larger model.

Handheld detectors can be adjusted so that the sensitivity is enough to find those smaller objects even when the larger detector missed them.

Handheld pinpointers can be used as a probe in the ground to get a greater depth than regular metal detectors.

Some handheld pinpointers can even tell what type of material the object is when the probe touches the object.

Leaving Treasure Behind

I was sold on a handheld pinpointer. I actually bought a Compass Automax pinpointer with a 10" probe for about $120.00. Immediately after buying it I went out into the field again to see what treasures I could unearth.

Within about 20 minutes I found two silver coins that I had passed over three weeks before and two bullets from the Civil War era. I was pumped! Since then, while I still take my larger metal detector, I never leave home without my handheld pinpointer. No matter where I am I can always manage to get find a little bit extra in a little less time.

People all over the world are turning towards metal detecting as their hobby of choice. One of the drawbacks to getting started with treasure hunting is that people tend to think they need to buy an expensive detector in order to find the good stuff.

Many of the big companies are making very reliable detectors at affordable prices that carry many of the features of the more expensive ones. Garrett is one of those companies. The Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector is a true beginner's metal detector. Priced at just over $200, the Ace 250 Metal Detector packs a ton of features into something that anybody, at any age, with any income level, can get started with treasure hunting and metal detecting.

• 8 Setting sensitivity plus depth adjustment
• Large LCD Display
• Incredibly easy to set up with no learning curve

Some User Tips For the Garrett Ace 250

Like anything, the greatest results can be achieved when you learn the best methods for doing certain tasks. Some great recommendations for getting the most out of the Ace 250 are:

• Turn down the sensitivity. When the sensitivity is turned all the way up you get a lot of false positives and lower depth range.
• Slow down when trying to pinpoint. Sweep side to side in a slow, methodical movement.
• Practice with it often. The biggest way to get to know anything is to practice with it. Take it to places where you know there is a lot of minerals and dig up everything.

Weekend treasure hunting expeditions are going to be a lot of fun with a Garrett Ace 250 metal detector. The light weight of the unit, great balance, and ease of operation create long lasting hunts without getting too tired and the treasures you find ensure you'll never regret buying one.
