When did the Eureka gold detector come out?

What kind of sound does a gold detector make?

But gold, being a very low conductor, apart from largish screamers or small nuggets close under the coil, have a lovely ‘Dong’ type sound on these detectors. It has been that way through the entire range of Minelab gold Vlf’s, the XTerrra being the only exception.

How big are the coils on the Minelab Eureka?

Stock 10″x5″ elliptical for 60khz only. 11″ round for 20khz 15″ Coiltek for 6.4khz It is no coincidence that these coil sizes are made for the Eureka. 60khz is not a deep seeking frequency. It simply will not give depth. It tickles nicely into the ground for an inch or so.

What does threshold rise mean in Minelab Eureka?

1. Threshold Rise: These are the signals that are well under a signal response, so they make a slight rise in threshold, repeatable and excact from all angles, unlike clay domes. Just not a big enough signal due to depth or size, to cause even a slight ‘dong’.
