With White’s DFX metal detector, the operator is required to manually set the ground balancing sequence option (G.E.B. trac section) as part of the device preparation – it might not really take that much time, but it’s a step that you can clearly do without. The Prospector will do just that for you because the ground balancing and fine-tuning is done automatically.

The ground condition could really pose a big problem that can affect the function of your metal detector. Some metal detectors – especially when you walk through a trash-infested location – are unable to discriminate for metal objects or give accurate search results. The Prospector could function even through severe ground conditions without tweaking of any controls (It doesn’t affect the sensitivity of the machine at all). But if you really want to discriminate virtually all types of trash, you can snap the control switch in the left direction. With the Prospector, you can search deeper into the ground for valuable mineral deposits, like gold (if you’re fortunate enough), and other interesting items (relics or old coins).

Basically, the Prospector is designed to let even the most novice hobbyists could operate this with ease without compromising the performance quality. This machine has 3 operation modes: All-metal, Tone, and Full Discriminate. All-metal mode is applicable for gold prospecting, relic search, or any common purposes. The Full Discriminate is useful for trashy grounds. And the Tone Discriminator gives off different audio sounds that will depend on the type of metallic object detected.

There are different online stores that carry different brands of metal detectors (e.g. Kellyco Metal Detector Superstore). While you’re out online shopping, you might want to check out a Bounty Hunter Prospector metal detector.
