Looking for a Metal Detector

What kind of detector is ideal for gold prospecting?
Basically there are a couple different types of metal detectors that can be utilized for gold prospecting. One such type is known as the multipurpose unit which is a detector that was made to be used for several functions such as for gold prospecting, searching for rare coins, hunting for relics etc. and in order to use it the only thing that needs to be changed is the setting of the detector. This is a detector that has existed for a long time now and picking out the right one will help a prospector find gold in most circumstances. There are a few set backs to the multipurpose unit metal detector though and these will be explained here as well. The other type of metal detector that exists is one that has become very well known of and popular for prospectors that are looking into doing more than simply recreational or weekend prospecting. One thing that you can guide yourself by is how often you plan on using your metal detector and how much you plan on getting into gold hunting. If you are interested in using your metal detector for a lot of different reasons, then you should probably consider the multipurpose unit as this is what it is intended for. If you however, are more interested in finding gold specifically, then you would probably be better off going for the specialized unit. If you already have a metal detector and are interested in using it for gold prospecting, it might be fine to use as long as it has all of the requirements that are going to be talked about here.
