The DEEPTECH Vista Gold is a highly respected metal detector in the detecting community worldwide, known for its exceptional all-around performance. Operating at a frequency of 25 kHz, the Vista Gold excels at finding small items like tiny gold nuggets in both mineralized and non-mineralized ground. It is also effective at locating small and large coins and artifacts within its detection range in various field conditions.
The Vista Gold features a very fast recovery speed, which is crucial when searching in areas with high levels of ferrous (iron) targets. This allows for efficient separation of non-ferrous targets from the surrounding iron-infested environment.
As a tone ID metal detector, the Vista Gold relies on audio signals for target identification, a method preferred by many professional detectorists. It offers different search modes that can be easily activated using dedicated switches. The “Fast” mode provides improved recovery speed, while the “Slow” mode enhances depth capabilities when the ground conditions permit. The “Boost” mode amplifies faint signals, making it easier to detect weak targets.
The Vista Gold offers three audio modes. The “Two Tone ID” mode produces a low tone for ferrous targets and a high tone for non-ferrous targets. The “Single Tone” mode emits a high tone for non-ferrous targets and remains silent over ferrous targets (depending on their size and shape). The “All Metal” mode produces a high tone for all detected targets, both ferrous and non-ferrous. This mode is particularly useful for archaeological work when all metals need to be recovered from the soil.
The detector includes an Iron Volume control, allowing you to silence the audio response for ferrous targets. This feature is beneficial when searching in heavily littered or busy fields, giving you the option to ignore or adjust the volume of ferrous signals based on your preference.
The Vista Gold offers manual Ground Balance adjustment, enabling precise calibration to cancel out ground feedback and improve detection efficiency. This feature helps make the soil “invisible” to the metal detector, allowing for more accurate target identification.
