Hoard Hunters - Metal Detectors for Finding deeper, larger targets
A few of the major metal detector manufacturers produce 'hoard
hunting' metal detectors intended to locate larger targets
at far greater depths than a conventional metal detector is
capable of.
They are also of great use to battlefield diggers, gold
prospectors and aviation
archaeology enthusiasts.

Fisher Gemini 3
Fisher say that as well as detecting metal, the Gemini 3 can
