Whites GMT Metal Detector

When it comes to metal detectors, not all detectors are made the same, and not all of them will help you strike gold. The GMT metal detector is made specifically for use in gold bearing areas. This detector is capable of ignoring the harsh ground conditions that gold is often found in. It operates at 48 KHz, the ideal frequency for gold prospecting, and is capable of finding even the smallest nuggets.

This affordable metal detector has special features such as a waterproof coil and automatic ground balancing, making it both efficient and easy to use. The GMT also boasts some high-end features such as an “iron target analyzer” and “Follow the Paystreak” which are designed to make hunting for gold much easier with this machine.

Often, gold prospecting is very difficult because of the mineral-rich nature of the ground in which gold is found. The mineral-rich earth can lead to inaccurate readings with metal detectors that are not up to par. But as the GMT is built specifically to detect gold, it is designed to be able to ignore the earth conditions that will often throw off other metal detectors.

This is also an incredibly beginner-friendly machine, with features such as AutoTrac which tracks the changing conditions of the minerals in the ground as you hunt, and automatic ground balancing. This machine is designed so that users can turn it on, press a few buttons, and begin hunting without having to balance the machine if they so choose.

Whites GMT Metal Detector Performance and Design Review

The GMT Metal Detector is a highly efficient machine for gold prospecting. For its price point, this machine is one of the best at what it does. It is sleek, lightweight, and incredibly high-quality, especially when considering that this metal detector is really affordable.

The detector is really sleek looking. It brings a classic twist to modern metal detecting. It has a black, glossy design with gold embossing. The arm pad on the GMT is snug, comfortable, and adjustable. The machine is incredibly lightweight, weighing at just under 5lbs, making it a perfectly functional machine for people of all shapes and sizes.

Although not backlit, the LCD display is clear and easy to read, and all-in-all, the interface is user-friendly and great for beginners.

The biggest complaint about the GMT is its weak pinpointing system. It is more difficult for gold prospecting metal detectors to have a highly specific pinpointing system simply because of the size in which most gold nuggets come. The GMT will pinpoint a general area through which users must dig and sift in order to find the gold that was detected.
