GOLDEN WAY Questions, Answered
How much is the GOLDEN WAY?
£1,950, with free UK shipping and a two year warranty. It is the most affordable German built VLF instrument in our GER and UIG range.
What does VLF actually mean here?
Very Low Frequency electromagnetic detection, the most trusted and widely used technology in detecting. Unlike long range locating, VLF responds to metal directly under the search area, which is why it gives clean target separation rather than a direction to walk in.
How deep does it go?
Up to 3 metres. That is deliberately mid range rather than the tens of metres quoted by long range systems, and it is a far more realistic figure for anything you will recover by hand.
How heavy is it?
The device itself is 365 grams and the complete package 5,750 grams. It is one of the lighter instruments at this level, which matters directly to how long you can keep searching.
What ground will it cope with?
Automatic calibration adapts it to wet soil, mineral rich ground, basalt and metallic rock and salt heavy environments. For British farmland, which is mineralised almost everywhere, that stability is the practical benefit.
What is it best at finding?
Hidden and raw gold, precious metals, buried treasures and ancient metallic coins. Its dual search systems separate precious from non precious metals, which cuts the number of holes you dig for nothing.
Is this a good choice for a first serious machine?
It is approachable and stable, so yes in principle. But at £1,950 it is a lot for a first detector. Our beginner range from £79.95 will teach you more per pound.
Is it certified?
CE certified and ISO 9001, manufactured in Germany, with the two year warranty handled by us here rather than overseas.
