Description
Pulse induction is a different bargain from an ordinary detector. It ignores soil mineralisation and wet salt almost completely, which buys real depth on anything substantial. What it gives up is target identification: you will dig iron. For hoards, relics, meteorites and caches that trade is worth making. For coin hunting in a tidy field it is not.
The Mobile is the single user model in the Deep Hunter line. Where the Pro3 machines expect two people on a frame coil for maximum depth, the Mobile is mounted on a shaft so one person can work a site alone, trading some depth for the comfort of a normal detector.

Golden Mask Deep Hunter Mobile Questions, Answered
What is a pulse induction metal detector?
One that sends a short magnetic pulse into the ground and measures how the returning signal decays. Because it is not continuously comparing against the soil, mineralisation and salt stop interfering, which is where the extra depth comes from.
How deep will it go?
Substantially deeper than a VLF detector on medium and large objects, especially with a frame coil. On a single coin the advantage largely disappears, because depth scales with target size whatever the technology.
Can it tell gold from iron?
Only crudely. Two LED lights indicate non ferrous in red and iron in green. That is useful but it is not comparable to the numerical target identification on a VLF machine. Plan on digging most signals.
Do I need two people to use it?
For the large frame coils, yes, they are designed for two. The round coils mount on a stick for single operator use, with less depth. Most owners have both.
What does the TRASH function do?
It selects whether the machine responds to large targets only, or to large and small targets together. On a site littered with small iron, restricting it to large targets is what makes the machine usable.
How long do the batteries last?
10 hours from the rechargeable AA pack, which is a full day. They are standard rechargeable cells, so a spare set is cheap insurance.
What is the warranty?
Five years on the electronics and two years on the charger and coil, handled by us in the UK. That electronics term is unusually long and tells you something about how these are built.
Can one person use the Deep Hunter Mobile alone?
Yes, that is the whole point of this model. It is shaft mounted and was the first single user pulse induction machine Golden Mask made, so you get Pro series depth without needing a second pair of hands.
How much is the Deep Hunter Mobile?
We are not publishing a price for this model at the moment. Ring us and we will give you the current figure and availability, because pulse machines in this range move on price more than the VLF models do.
