The Catalogue
3D Imaging & Locators
When the target is a deep cache, a buried chest, a tomb or a void that ordinary VLF and PI detectors simply walk past, you need a deep-seeking, ground-scanning system. This category brings together long-range locators and 3D ground-imaging detectors built for serious treasure hunters, professional prospectors and archaeologists across Sudan, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Guinea, Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire.
The heart of the range is the German-made Lorenz DeepMax line — the DeepMax Z1 and the higher-sensitivity DeepMax Z2. Both run pulse-induction technology with the Pulse Ground Balancing System (Pulse GBS), so salty, wet and heavily mineralised ground has minimal effect on depth — exactly the conditions that defeat conventional detectors. Where they stand apart is imaging: scan an area, log the data, then build 2D and 3D colour and surface maps on a laptop to read a target's type, depth, size and shape before you ever break ground.
Depth is honest and physics-bound: it depends on target size, conductivity and your coil. With large 1 m × 1 m frame and cable-frame coils, sizeable metallic targets can be reached to around 3.8 m; smaller Double-D coils trade depth for pinpoint precision on coins and nuggets. As an authorised dealer we supply genuine, warranty-backed units and advise in your language on WhatsApp.

How to choose
- Match the tool to the target: deep caches, chests, tombs and large relics reward a pulse-induction deep seeker like the Lorenz DeepMax Z1 or Z2 — not a standard VLF/PI gold machine.
- Understand depth honestly: maximum range depends on target size, conductivity and ground. Big targets under a large frame coil can reach roughly 3.8 m; small objects are detected shallower.
- Choose your coil set: large 1 m × 1 m frame and cable-frame antennas dig deepest over big targets, while 26–45 cm Double-D coils give sharper pinpointing on coins and nuggets.
- Decide if you need imaging: the data-logger workflow plus Surfer and Lorenz Scripter software turns scans into 2D/3D maps so you can analyse a site before digging — ideal for cache and archaeology work.
- Mind power and logistics: Z1 runs 5–10 h on a belt-worn 12 V battery; Z2 uses low-self-discharge NiMH with worldwide 100–240 V charging and an optional GPS power-bank to double runtime.
- Buy genuine: every Lorenz unit we supply is authorised stock with a 5-year manufacturer warranty and Arabic / French / English support on WhatsApp.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a 3D imaging / long-range locator and a normal metal detector?
Standard VLF and even PI detectors are tuned for surface to mid-depth coins, jewellery and gold nuggets. Deep-seeking systems like the Lorenz DeepMax Z1 and Z2 use pulse induction with large frame coils to reach big metallic targets far deeper, and their data-logger and imaging software build 2D/3D maps that reveal a target's type, depth and size before you dig.
How deep can the Lorenz DeepMax really detect?
Depth is always target- and coil-dependent — there is no single number for every find. With large 1 m × 1 m frame or cable-frame coils, sizeable metallic targets can be reached to around 3.8 m. Smaller objects such as single coins are detected shallower, and ground mineralisation also plays a part. We will not promise unrealistic depths.
How does the 3D ground imaging actually work?
You scan a marked area in tracks, the detector's data logger records the signals, and you transfer them by USB to a laptop. With the Surfer and Lorenz Scripter software the data becomes 2D and 3D colour, contour and surface maps — the Z2 builds up to twelve maps per field — so you can read each target's position, depth and size and plan exactly where to dig.
Who should buy a deep-seeking locator like the DeepMax Z1 or Z2?
These are professional instruments for serious treasure hunters chasing deep caches and chests, for relic and battlefield searchers, and for archaeologists surveying sites. If your goal is small surface gold or general coin and jewellery hunting, a dedicated gold or all-round detector is the better, lighter and more affordable choice — tell us your ground and target on WhatsApp and we will advise honestly.
Is the Lorenz stock genuine and how do I order to West Africa?
Yes. We are an authorised dealer supplying genuine, German-made Lorenz units with the full 5-year manufacturer warranty. There is no online checkout: you enquire on WhatsApp, we confirm availability, full configuration and price, and arrange delivery to Sudan, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Guinea, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire and neighbouring countries — with support in Arabic, French and English.
How much does a 3D imaging or long-range locator cost?
3D imaging and long-range locators are higher-end deep-treasure machines, so they sit well above entry-level detectors, and the price varies by model and capability: a professional pulse-induction system like the Lorenz DeepMax Z1 is the more accessible option in this range, while the flagship DeepMax Z2 — with greater depth and on-screen scanning — is the top of the line. Each model's price is shown on its own page (USD shown by default, AED is the binding price). There is no online checkout, so message us on WhatsApp for the current price and the best machine for your ground and budget. Every unit is genuine and backed by the manufacturer warranty.
