Jeohunter - Visual Ground Scanner

[ishtar hunter]

yes brother, when I put the coil under water the LCD god this message......I remember like it was yesterday, but luckily it has done me anymore

my Jeohunter working today 100% Good

I have a geohunter3D dual system and 3 search coil When I bought a lot of things I found
I love geohunter and I Directly "in the company saw macro Education
Geohunter is a best metal detector. a very good manual ground balance and auto balance.when you detect a metal at the same show's size and depth of metal in the oscilloscope Monitors

This thread is getting very interesting. Thanks to everyone for their input, one side AND the other.

This is no other side, this is just an unfounded "no", a cheap opinion without the slightest experience in real treasure hunting, never having the Jeohunter tested by his own - I guess it should be some satiric pseudosatanic "I'm the ghost who denies everything" and without any hard facts or strong points that would have really an impact.

joejoe, look at WM6's jokes at the remote sensing forum - anyone must get hardly doubts if that what he's writing is serious - as example his LRL bionic schematic stuff. Seems he just like to have fun here by childish play and provocation. Don't feed the troll!


I will tell you a short story to make the whole problem with him more visible:

Once there was a child that didn't liked its spinach at dinner. The mother asked:
"Hey boy, why don't you like it?" But he just started to cry and said:
"No, no, no, I don't eat the spinach!" She tried everything she could but no chance.
And if they are not died perhaps 20 years later he's cultivating his own spinach-plants,
can't get enough of it and feels like Popeye! As always in life...

Thank you for your answer. Some here think I'm the only happy owner of a Jeohunter.

A PI never will find cavity but some treasures are within hidden rooms under ground etc.
Detecting a void of area - I'm shure you ment (80cm * 60cm) at a depth of 250cm -
is a really good result! I hope you will write again here. Thanks.

@WM6
I'd liked to hear convincing pro arguments for that Surf PI but I'm shure you won't have any or can't write them in your mini-short replies. Wasn't it you that told me that a Whites TM808 or 800 with modified coils would be better than Jeohunter? I guess so. And now the same again. Why should I want a Surf PI (is this a homebrew when it's 50x cheaper?) if I can't detect mineralic stones or cavity with it and the detection depth never is that good?

It's so dirty cheap and lame reposting my own formerly contra arguments while completly ignoring the pro arguments instead of having proofen facts but at least you gave me the chance to objectivate those contra points now after a long time of practical experience:


- Price: What's cheap, has no worth. The Minelab GPX5000 costs much more,
High Power PI cost the same, the Nokta Golden King last year did cost almost
the double of the Jeohunter and for computerized ground analyzing GPRs sell
for around 10.000 and upwards.

- Lithium Ion batteries life is 6 hours. This type has most power but like any
batteries problems with very low temperatures.

- the 3D image represents the radiation strengh of an object - if it is flat the
image will look more flat and if the middle is much higher the object will also
appear on the analyses screen higher


- The sound-output of all MDs is too loud - this is my own opinion.

- Handbook is understandable enough and has nothing to do with the detector quality

- detecting of human body at high senstivity setting does not occure under
usual treasure hunting conditions but shows the special sensitivity and this is good.

- disc contains: iron, steel, gold and different variations of valuable metal

- PC connection is not needed - analyses screens are capturable by digicam

- battery indicator works good

- color display is readable and that counts (btw. I use additional protection plexi-glas)

- changing arms sometimes while searching is no problem

- transporting Jeohunter with improved backpack-straps works super easy, even on
bike and with 5kg additional stuff

- pinpointing is not easy with such large coil - but you should use additional Pinpointer
anyway - this apples generelly also to little-coil detectors

- accu plug works fine after cutting the plastic a little bit

- the large coil is a problem with the plants and stones in some areas but sometimes
not because you can simply sweep over this stuff and still have a good signal

- the valuable factor is higher on larger objects but a higher mass of noble metal
has more worth



- to correct the ground balance level you can press directly the button



- key assignment is very easy and fast after some time of experience - you can
set the values even if display is closed

- batterie charging time is around 6-7 hours with computer-controlled circuits

- the deeper the detector goes - the more digging - this was a personal statement.

- Accu duration 4h at freezing point temperatures still pretty well (2/3 time loss)

- GEB adjustment all the time like written in manual is correct.


- it does not use 9Volt blocks - this is a pro argument.

- very near nails show as cavity - this does not occure with buried nails

- no ultra bright LED lights on the coil - that represented my personal wish only.

- very fine and extended german manual exists already for 1 year.

- with some experience even with the large medium coil pinpointing is easy

- Jeohunter has the same depth or even better with same coil-size than Nokta.

- at the moment Jeohunter standard edition in Europe is 3200 Euro (Bulgaria)
or around 2000 Euro in Italy and 3999 Euro with huge 1m ultra depth coil.

So WM6, there you have your "contra"!



Of course for the worldwide-killer-breakthrough of this outstanding detector
I would like some improvements:

- Resetbutton directly at the holder (makes searching at highest sensitivity
much more easy) (I have made this already last year and it works perfect! )

- a new lightweight coil inbeetween standard and 1m has to be invented for
1 person super deep search

- the standard coil inclusive holder would need some weight reductions so
it's possible to search on very steep mountains, forests and other terrains

- the Jeohunters display need an OFF switch for saving battery life and
searching just by audio signals

- I would like an analoge mode so you can hear slightest changes from
coils field-activity changes (could be of use for extremly weak signals)

- bright LED lights directly at the coil for searching the ground at night

PS @ WM6 - you are crazy or Whites brainwashed comparing those
Surf PI with Jeohunter when I read this short but enough info here:

Too much spinach, dear Funfinder, too much spinach in in your answers.

But from other side, you have to be strong like Popeye, if you want at least 1 hour loaded around Jeohunter without the health consequences.

[Funfinder]

Don't give the people wrong advice here WM6 just because you seems
to know nothing else than your Whites detectors!

That Surf PI stuff compares pretty bad to the Minelab Excalibur 2 with 10'' coil
if it has to deal with black sand like in the case of joejoe!

http://jimyce.home.netcom.com/test.html


And what's missing are the drawbacks of PI:
very slow sweep speed, no discrimination (digging rusty nails at 2 feet etc.)
mini coil that won't find large deep objects and takes forever to search
large areas, drifting, crazy making fire alarm sound output and much more -
especially wrong alerts all the time with hotrocks!

And this Minelab Excalibur II with 10'' inch coil costs already 1300 dollars!

AND, WM6, if you don't start to write long, reasonable and serious replies
I may begin to completly ignore your pesky and pestiferous litte short-farts!

What?

This one of my posts is not long enough, not reasonable and not serious?:

Probably you do not agree with yourself anymore?

[joejoe]

Well, wmd (pun intended this time) allows you to fully explain your position in an enlightening manner. If it hadn't been for him we wouldn't know all the wonderful things the jeohunter can do. The writing may have stopped a long time ago. I imagine there will be many that will weigh what you say with a better scale since you've been argueing rationally your position. That is good. We would be much more ignorant if you hadn't been doing so.
The other day you left a website in bulgaria and I saw that the unit (forget the name) had a spot that could be hooked up to a computer. Does anyone know if there is software that can data log direct from the machine to your computer without neccisitating the purchase of the logger unit itself?

I now the pi detector can not detect void but geohunter can detect void and in display are a void graph.
I have taught at the macro and i can detect void by geo hunter.
Thank's for you

Not too much spinach in my answers, but too much hot air in your short poops!
And please stop your weight arguments! It's like the same stupid to tell a mountainclimber
he should not try to reach very high peaks because the rucksack would be too heavy!

Well, after this above reply from you I warned you but you just ignored it and wrote
again such stupid cheap short bla bla bla stuff so I won't read or answer it.
WM6, either you will show some respect and write REAL answers to me or your OUT!

You may post your last statement again together with detailed technical arguments
concerning Jeohunter because I can't see no longer your "remarks", they're too tiny!


@ joejoe
1. I doubt your conclusions about WM6's behaviour here really are true.
Because his ridiculous comments can't undermine the good image of Jeohunter anyway.
2. Computer logging only makes sense for gradiometer GPR.


@ ishtar hunter
Thx for your new info. Jeohunter also can find meteorites and unusual
changes in ground condition and because of DD coil structure it is much
more sensitive to small stuff with 1m coil compared to P.I. frames, too.

[ishtar hunter]

Thank's for you

my geohunter detect a void and display signal of void so i take a depth and display 2.30cm so I dig there and Grave appeared in a 2.50 cm i attach a picture of my detection.
Geohunter is my best Favorites of metal detector in 14 year of my work.
Wm6 comments to me at all "is not important because i see performance my geohunter.
hah hah hah......

[ishtar hunter]

My detection in 2.50cm.....A grave

[ishtar hunter]

Hi my name is john i'm new in this, i have Jeohunter and don't know why i have to put the width and length manually and is true the maximum depth is 6-8 m.

Yes -please read the service manual and see in you tub so go to detection.
I can detect a Non-ferrous metal a Dimension 25*25 cm in 2 meter depth I detect by 210*315 mm search coil but a year passed since the buried metal.

[Funfinder]

Very fascinating results, ishtar hunter.

We can't see the pictures - please will you attach or upload them again?!
Use 'Post Reply' and press 'manage attachments' button there.

And it would be interrresting what kind of ground you have at that sites.
Is it all the same level of mineralisation without scattered hotrocks or is
it sand or something else?

Good luck in finding very precious treasures!

[ishtar hunter]

I detect in mineral ground of 50% Silica and no rocky or sand but there was a lime.
I detecting again for find other grave there.
I have a dimension 25*25cm of non-ferrous metal in depth 2 meter and put in soil for 1 year so i detect by geohunter and search coil 210*315 mm.It was difficult to believe
