Hi fred, why are you getting rid of the GS5? I would keep it, I wish I could afford it but I hate to see anybody getting rid of an Eric Foster PI. It might not be very easy to replace it in the future. I'm sure you will be able to sell it easily fred. Ok take care and CU later.

I have been detecting since 1980 and I own a GS5. This is the only detector that I know of that can work heavily mineralised ground with a Mono coil and still keep a stable threshold. There are plenty of prospectors in Australia dying to be able to get one of these machines.

Hi Frank,

The detector was posted on April 12, so it is back a page or so in the listings.

I am curious what the B stands for on Eric's Goldscan 5B

Thanks,Brian

Thanks Reg...the GS5 is not compatible with my style of detecting and so this is a good opportunity for some one else...

It can hunt in both modes, standard PI, and ID/Ground Cancel mode. This is a unit that can ID iron at full depth.

It can use most any coil designed for Minelab PI units also.

Comes with high powered probe.

Drop Fred a note if your interested in it.

Here is the information on his model. Click on the link below

How deep can the unit pick up a silver quarter?

 

[Mr.Bill]

it's not tuned at it's best point for a quarter. It has been enhanced for gold & gold jewelry.

Besides that using a quarter is not a good standard, there is way to much variances between quarters, the amount of silver, clad or not.

On a US nickel,(a good standard),it's about 15+"
