Jeohunter - Visual Ground Scanner

[WM6]

btw. Is your White's Logo Signature no promotion at all?

Yes, those act as promotion of reasonable priced, very good machine, capable all, even on better way, than many others way expensive things. Great allround machine indeed.

Logo is there as praise to Whites and as hint to potential buyers of expensive and unusable Jeohunters, Noktas etc.

[Funfinder]

If that's all what you have or want to answer to my arguments then it's "super", saves me alot work...


But never forget: "You get what you pay for!"

I fully agree White's built good MDs for a reasonable price. But the more complex a MD or Magneto became, the more ("extreme") expensive it gets.

Along the JeoHunter I ordered a White's Pinpointer 'cause it does a good job and is almost half the price as with Garrett. But even you won't buy just a Pinpointer for whole metaldetecting - even kids fully would like it in their sandbox.


OK, let us stop this and wait for the tests.
But, I'm telling this already now:
they will became complex and not simple because of the really depth.

Luckily I live near a very huge old medieval wall, a little bit comparable with the chinese wall, with rooms and all kind of "ruins-stuff", so I'm able to make good tests - if weather is ok and snow is away.

But those tests have to be made different as with coinshooter-MDs - not just burying something 50cm under ground. For the beginning I'm happy finding or creating an area with no metal around.

You can make already suggestions what you want to have tested.

@kt315
You are seeing ghosts, perhaps you're paranoid also!
I made pro contra tests as they developed.

YOU AND ONLY SUCH AS YOU do scammers paradise from OUR very interesting web resources what Geotech is of!

stop your idiotic matter here! I give you the paranoid for us all!

[Funfinder]

Ehem, kt315

I know already how bizarre and "evil" you're reaction against Nokta was so your new outbreak is no wonder. But please stop speaking "for us all", 'cause everyone here has his own opinion, if he/she's interrested in this kind of MD at all!


What was your personal idea:
Take a White's 808, use other coil(s) and disc. and this then is much cheaper and better than Nokta & Co.?


You may have good ideas - so tell more. Which way do you like to display the results? What kind of housing and power supply? Can you combine all this parts together without any problems? Or was it just an unrealizable nice idea?

You know how to display the spectrum-analyzer results of MD coils correctly on a display or do you hate grafical displays at all?


And keep in mind:
Neither yours not my opinion is really representative for Jeohunter or Nokta.

So far in this forum did write 5 people who like them and 5 who don't (some of them never had one) - and not 100 or more Owners of these MDs, and those exist! It's like 5 love Counter Strike and 5 don't - it's absolutly "nothing"! And why?

Because the most ppl interrested in this forum like to building their own metal-detectors and/or wanna know how the technix works, but don't care much about commercial MDs and/or how good/bad they might be.

But neverthless there are some interrested readers for shure and they'll have the right to get a fair review or pro/contra discussion and no polemic or hatred prejudice.

Wow, got already my first "Hammer fund" on Saturday, it is an old pick-iron hundred(s) years ago was used in mines and also is used in the armorial (Wappen) of mining. (see pix - iron is 20x35cm)

Next Pro's:

- Jeohunter really finds a 20 diameter metal plate from 110cm (in air) like the technical data describe!

- You can also use the MDs-bag as a back-pack! That was a fantastic idea of them.

- Because of the 45cm wide coil you can proceed much faster forward, and almost the same area of the coil has the same detection depth!

Next Contra's:
- Seem's the Jeohunter has with 35x45cm coil the same depth as Nokta has with "little" 25x35cm coil.

- Accu Plug 1mm too large for accu-holder-cover (could destroy plug if plastic-gum is not cut off a little bit)


But I found out that the tests have to be much more complex, because i found a book about humanitarian demining from European Union you will FIND here (d. the second one if you don't own it. ):

http://www.multiupload.com/IUZK9UZO73

Chapter 3, 4 and 5 are very important for good test-results and those guys from demining know what they're talking about, because there it's goes about life or death!

I'm already very interrested how the "Jeo" fights through drifting, ground-mineralisation and other important stuff.

You still not stop to promote this JeoCrappy things here and polute tech forum?

[Funfinder]

@ WM6
Get lucky (or lost...) with your pseudo-deep "M6 god"! At least I have no company logo in my signature like you.

In this forum promotion is inpossible anyway because each "techie-freak" or homebrew-fan prefers his very own special technic or is completly into it.

What I'm doing is just caring for a fair counterbalance against Jeohunter offenders plus providing correct pro/contra tests which will go on if the weather conditions will allow this in about a month.

Perhaps some here are also p*ssed on because the computer-electronix of the Jeo-Systems is that complex, expensive and powerful, so they can rebuilt it no longer on their own...

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.

[kt315]

Turkish is not free hunting country. there all are forbidden. you can not free go on a beach and hunting with detector. Turkish is undemocratic blackhearted country.

Hi John!

Where are you from? Great you have also bought a Jeohunter, if you have enough power and ambition for treasure-hunting this is THE "allround-machine" from little to deep objects including cavity- and mineralized stones-detection for a much fairer price (just 3200 Euro) than the afaik "ripped from makro-group": Nocta Golden King.
Congratulation!

Your questions:
1.
Entering width and lenght has to do with signal-processing and intensity. A near small object can reproduce the same strenght as a deep large object but has different "sizes". The DoubleD-Coils have a relative "sharp edged limit" encountering signal-changing effects by metal or mineralized (also cavity) objects. This has to do with radiation changes/reflection.

There exists different depth-detection possibilities, depending on the used technic.

2.
For maximum depth first you need a full Akku-Pack and 100% sensitivity setting. Second the ground balance has to be correct adjusted (press Reset button in usual search mode if drifting occurs).

Finally the question is: What kinda "object" can cause such a strong change in the electro-magnetical field?!
A buried car or tank? A suddenly appearing large cave?

More realistic is a cache or metal-chest, coins scattered over a larger area over the ground or even gold-bars a deepsearch detector should detect or a hidden cellar or secret-way in a ruin or castle. If the cellar has a size of 3x3meters the Jeohunter will detect it for shure to 4-5 meters if the surrounding ground-conditions are ok. A hidden runway under ground 1m broad perhaps 2-3 Meters down or inbetween very thick solid walls.

The manual described other depths so far are correct - it will find a 20cm ironplate at 110cm easily in air and at 100% sensitivity also in ground. For the moment weather and still sometimes frozen ground is an issue, but in the near future I will make alot sophisticated tests and release them.

plus:
Here's the new german user manual - written all by myself!

It explains all functions of the Jeohunter very well and you can translate it now with google language tools:

I found this six pound 9,2cm / 3,x'' diam. french cannonball from the year 1809 at 31. March 2010 because the Jeohunter gave me the attention to this fund!

Usually I search at Disc-Level: "Gold, small Rings, pulltabs". But because the Jeohunter ignores the most small stuff you can concentrate on large deep targets much better - as you can see at the original pix with success.

The depth analysis was very accurate - it was around 50cm and the Screen showed 54cm. Metal recognition also was correct.

But you have to think and work a little bit in other "dimensions" if you work with such a machine.

This is no "coinshooting jumping around" but more a scientific ground analysis. You have to re-adjust the ground-balance more often by pressing "reset" and test the signal a few times.

And I found out an important discovery:

The coils radiation-values affects yourself!

If the coil penetrates 1m vertically down it also signalizes things in the horizontally level of 50cm. If it hears 3m deep into the ground it also hears 1,5m around a circle, and in this circle are you, the searcher.

If you wear shoes with steel-caps or even the shovel in the other hand will cause signals! The same if the coil-cable just moves for 0,3cm it will causes a signal.

Such deep hunting units really find much deeper things, but you have to work alot more professional with them as with "switch on and go"-Detectors. The weight is no problem at all, because the coil & holder is just 1kg more than usual detectors have. You can move faster forward because the coil is much larger, I like this.

In fact the best operation range is an area where you think there could be large deep targets. And the best:
If you only want to have precious funds, just dig out the stuff that is recognised as "GOLD"!

Already I also tried it on a self-buried target in mineralized soil, 43cm / 17inch down, 2 alu sausage-cans with around 5cm / 2inch diameter. While the Fisher 1266-X was on the border to signalize it (with the improved mod it's OK), the Jeohunter found it with ease at just 60% sensitivity.

Shure, if you test the Jeohunter with coins or small objects, other detectors will get better results and the handling is easier, but if you want or have the chance to find deep and precious things, you really should give the Jeohunter a try.

.

Great, at the end you find that this "sausage can shooting jumping around" that "request to re-adjust the ground-balance more often by pressing "reset"" is only a very expensive piece of crap. You can find more by your Nintendo.

[Funfinder]

WM6, you are a poisoned person and I should ignore you, but yet I'm not done with you. Beware what will happen, I warned you...

All you can do is attacking "information" from where you don't know s**t about! You don't have any better way communicating with people, don't you have?

If your style of "false justice" is throwing stupid arguments around just for protecting yourself, in the next time I will answer to each of your "fantastic" postings with meaningless stuff so you will recognise, feel and hopefully get hurt how great such f***in' behaviour is!

Where is the constructive part of your critic? You don't own a Jeohunter so you know nothing. You believed those cheap and short tests of kt315 because for you he's an authority, but also he can fail!

Are you completly nuts comparing the Jeohunter-LCDs with a Nintendo? You have no idea about Nintendo, perhaps you know nothing at all! The Nintendo Black-White LCD handhelds were the first popular Display-Screens and even your Middle-Class-Detector uses it nowadays! Do you need an extra portion of attention or what's your deal? I have no problem with this: Come here and get what you want or better: deserve...

Listen to Tanja Zagar, Sabina Mali, Sexplosion, Attomik Harmonik etc. and have fun is healthier for your psyche, I told you!

But what does a big oak tree cares if a pig rubs his skin at it...

Next important Jeohunter Tests!


As you can see I found another very interresting rare object with the Jeohunter.

But this now lead to the next special info how to use this machine properly:

The very Pro point is that you can find small to large deep targets with one detector, but you have to know the right handling first, and this takes a few days if you start from scratch like me:

Sensitivity:
The Jeohunter finds the exactly 9.2cm/3.2'' cannonball in air at 100% sensitivity at 80cm/32'' - iron on (all metal).

But in practise, depending how mineralic and trashy ground is, the usual search level is 80% and iron off.
But now the cannonball is just at 60cm/23'' findable.
The 80% are correct, but with iron discrimination it has 75% and all detectors search deeper with all-metal on.

Next: I found that knife-edge/top with iron off - 3cm x4,5cm

Shure, a great fund and usually iron get's discriminated very well, but in that case it was recognised neverthless.
So it distincts somehow between cheap rusty tin-metal and old forged iron! btw. iron is not iron - there are alot different alloys and in medieval years the ore wasn't that "clean" as nowadays.

Another important topic is the search-range. The Jeohunter detects the deep objects almost completly throughout the whole search-head and not just middle-centred. Closer objects it can detect 10-40cm / 4-14'' beyond the coils. This is very important because the swing-motions are limited. The range you can scan with the Jeohunter in 1 half turn a usual detector needs 3 swings.

Pinpointing:
Because of the large coil pinpointing is more complex, but also possible. If it's a near object, just hold the piece of soil against the coil and divide it until you have the object. If it's deeper it's automatically larger and you can search over the earth you dug out or use a small pinpointer for this - nowadays standard anyway.

Another very practical thing I found out is the relative bright LCD-Display:
If it's (getting) dark, you can use it as digging-lamp.
the shine goes ca. 1-2 meters if it's completly dark. Of course it depends how full the accu is and how long you searched before already. While digging switchin off the Jeohunters power can save alot energy if the holes become deeper, and they will! You can find 2cm / 1inch aluminum wine-bottle caps 20cm / 8inch deep but using the Jeohunter is searching for deep objects. If you wanna dig near stuff using a normal detector ist best choice, but the Jeohunter finds also very deep treasures.

But as I told already for very deep searching special conditions have to be observed:

!!! Use minimum 90% sensitivity and iron on.
!!! Analyze the signalized targets very well: The noise it makes first, the depth and metal-analysis.

If it's a very short strong audiosignal mostly it's a small and near metal object. The more expierenced you get, the better you can differentiate objects and their depth.
The more deeper and smaller it goes, the more analysis efford has to be considered. This also includes the terrain where you are searching. Jeohunter beach searching is a waste of time, you need really precious sites or already with usual detectors well searched places.
