Specification:
The Gold Seeker F003 is unique among relic hunting detectors for its versatile function as an all-purpose treasure detector and also its high sensitivity to small gold nuggets. The new F003 has been custom designed to find the smallest targets, provide superior target separation and feature advanced discrimination control. The control, menu options and features are tailored to relic-hunting, including a sophisticated ground balancing system, separate control over signal gain and threshold and a unique discrimination control system.
Features:
Most detectors are built either for relics or for gold. The F003 is unusual in being set up for relic hunting while keeping high sensitivity to small gold nuggets, which are two quite different demands on the same circuitry.
The relic side shows in the controls: a sophisticated ground balancing system, separate control over signal gain and threshold, and its own discrimination system. Separating gain from threshold is the detail experienced detectorists will notice, because it lets you chase depth without the machine becoming unusable.
It is also built to be straightforward. Assembly needs no tools, the controls are simple, and a three segment battery indicator sits at the top left of the display so you know where you stand before you walk out.
£899.99, reduced from £999. That places it above the mainstream coil machines and below the long range systems, in the serious hobby and semi professional bracket.
Relic hunting, with genuine sensitivity to small gold as a second string. It is designed to find the smallest targets with superior target separation, which is what relic ground on an old site demands.
Gain sets amplification, threshold sets the level at which the machine speaks. Controlling them independently lets you run high gain for depth while keeping the threshold quiet enough to hear faint signals through it. Machines that tie them together force a compromise.
It is designed to ignore signals caused by ground minerals and trash, through its ground balancing system. British soil is mineralised almost everywhere, so that is doing real work rather than being a specification line.
It identifies a buried metal object and estimates both its size and its depth. Knowing the size before you dig is what stops you opening a large hole for a ring pull.
It estimates the effects of interference from other electronic devices. On a site near overhead lines, a railway or other detectorists, knowing the machine is reacting to interference rather than to the ground saves a lot of confusion.
Yes. Assembly is easy and requires no tools, and the controls are deliberately simple. The complexity is in what the machine does, not in operating it.
A three segment indicator at the top left of the display. It is a small thing, but a detector that dies two hours into a permission you drove an hour to reach is a wasted day.
Not really, at this price. It assumes you can already read a signal and will use the gain and threshold controls properly. Our beginner range from £79.95 teaches you more per pound.
It has high sensitivity to small gold nuggets, which is unusual on a relic machine. For dedicated prospecting a high frequency specialist such as the Nokta Gold Kruzer at £599.95 goes further.
The F001 is the entry level machine in that family at a far lower price. The F003 is the one with the relic hunting control set and the small gold sensitivity. They are not the same class of instrument.
It will work on dry sand. For wet salt sand you want pulse induction, which our beach detecting page explains, or a fully waterproof machine from our Nokta range.

Stunning metal detector, this performs better than anything else on the market today. Only been out a few times but found some great bits.

I can recommend this machine, I had a Minelab Nox before and this outperforms it on every level. Build quality is very high too. First time out I found a nice Lizzy and a crotal bell. Delivery was not the fastest but well worth the wait!
