Shared Detection Capabilities

The five systems common to both detectors ensure that, regardless of the choice, the user is equipped with a formidable tool for locating underground targets. This shared platform approach means that the core functionality and detection principles are identical, providing a consistent and reliable user experience.

The Long Range System in both the Gold vision vs gold legend

At the heart of both devices is the Long Range System, designed to identify potential targets from substantial distances.

This technology operates by generating and transmitting specific radio frequencies through a pair of antennas mounted on the front of the unit.

When these frequencies interact with a buried metallic object or void, the device provides a physical indication by rotating on its handle to point in the direction of the target. This allows prospectors to efficiently survey vast areas.

To enhance precision, both detectors offer extensive customization within this system. Users can fine-tune their search by defining several key parameters.

A critical setting is the Soil Type, with options for various ground conditions, including High Mineral, Low Mineral, Normal, Rocky, Sand, Stony, and Wet, ensuring optimal performance in any environment.

The Gold Legend further specifies 11 preset Target Types, allowing the operator to focus the search on specific materials like Gold Treasure, Gold Veins, Silver, Copper, Bronze, Iron, Platinum, Diamond, Gemstone, or even Cavity.

Users can also set the forward scanning Distance up to a maximum of 3000 meters and the search Depth to as deep as 40 meters, providing complete control over the search area.

Gold vision vs gold legend Free Mode System

Building on the principles of the Long Range System, the Free Mode System in Gold vision vs gold legend offers an even greater degree of precision for the experienced operator.

Instead of selecting from a list of preset targets, this mode allows the user to manually input an exact search frequency value.

This capability is invaluable for prospectors who wish to hunt for a specific alloy or metal that may not be on the standard list, or for those who have determined the precise frequency of a known target type and want to eliminate extraneous signals.

The user sets the desired frequency alongside the same soil, distance, and depth parameters found in the Long Range System, creating a highly customized and targeted search.

The Smart Depth System

Once a target's general location has been identified using one of the long-range systems, the Smart Depth System provides a reliable method for calculating its approximate depth.

This system is a unique and practical tool that adds a crucial layer of information before excavation begins. The process works in conjunction with a preliminary locating technique known as the "squaring method," where the prospector searches from four cardinal directions to pinpoint the target at the center of an imaginary square.

From this central point, the user moves in two different directions until the device's antennas rotate past a 70-degree angle.

The detector uses the distance of these movements to triangulate and calculate an estimated depth, which is then displayed on the screen.

The Ionic System

Gold vision or gold legend devices are equipped with an advanced Ionic System that utilizes a newly developed technology to detect the ionic fields that emanate from metallic objects that have been buried for extended periods.

As metals interact with the soil over time, they release ions into their surroundings, creating a detectable field. This system employs a specialized "Smart Sensor" probe, which is highly sensitive to these faint fields.

The sensor features integrated LEDs that change color to provide an immediate visual cue about the nature of the detected target.

The device's screen further aids in analysis by displaying two progress bars, one indicating the signal strength from a metallic source and the other indicating the signal strength from an underground void, such as a tunnel, cave, or tomb.

The Bionic System

The Bionic System operates on a similar principle to the Ionic System but offers a more directed and targeted search method.

Instead of conducting a general scan for any ionic field in the area, the Bionic System allows the user to search for a specific ionic signature.

The process begins with the user capturing an ionic signal from a physical sample of the desired metal, for example, a gold coin or a silver ring.

The device then calibrates its search to look exclusively for matching ionic signals underground. This method is exceptionally efficient for prospectors who are searching for a particular type of treasure and want to ignore all other signals.

The screen provides a clear circular indicator that changes color and is accompanied by an audio tone when a matching target is detected.

The Gold Vision Advantage 3D Ground Scan System

The single most significant difference between the Gold vision vs gold legend is the Gold Vision's exclusive 3D Ground Scan System.

This advanced feature elevates the device from a high-performance locator to a powerful analytical tool, fundamentally changing the prospecting workflow.

It moves beyond simply indicating the presence of a target to providing a detailed, visual representation of what lies beneath the surface.

How does the 3D Ground Scan System work?

This system works by using the Smart Sensor to conduct a meticulous ground survey, measuring minute changes in the underground magnetic fields that are caused by the presence of metallic objects or cavities.

To ensure maximum accuracy, the signals received by the sensor are amplified by a "Signal Booster Dish," a specialized component installed on the front of the main unit. This dish enhances the reception of even the weakest signals, which is critical for creating a high-fidelity 3D model.

The collected scan data is then transmitted seamlessly via Bluetooth to a dedicated Android application, the "Gold Vision app".

This powerful software processes the raw data and renders it as a sophisticated, three-dimensional graph. This visual model allows the user to see a virtual representation of the scanned area. Different colors within the graph correspond to different types of materials, typically with red indicating magnetic or ferrous metals, yellow representing precious metals like gold, and blue signifying voids or cavities.

The analytical power this provides is transformative. Within the application, the user can manipulate and analyze the 3D graphic from any angle to visually determine the precise shape, size, and depth of any potential targets.
