Titan GER 1000

What separates the Titan GER 1000 from the rest of the GER Detect range is that it ships with genuine, conventional detecting hardware. The case contains two pulse-induction search coils — a 15 × 15 cm coil for small, shallow targets and a 40 × 40 cm coil for covering ground and reaching large buried masses — driven by a pulse-induction circuit running at 350 Hz with a 20 MHz processor, automatic ground calibration and its own 128 × 64 px graphic LCD. This is the mode most owners will actually spend their time in, and it behaves like a proper deep-seeking PI machine: expect coin-sized objects at roughly 40 cm and large metallic masses such as chests, pipes or caches at around 2 m, depending on soil and target. A separate magnetometer mode adds a second real geophysical method, reading the magnetic anomalies produced by ferrous material and buried structures. Alongside those, GER Detect specifies three further systems on the same platform: a long-range locator that the manufacturer states covers a selectable 500–2,500 m front range to 45 m depth, an ionic-field system, and a 3D imaging system that scans the ground layers and presents the result from three viewing directions on the supplied tablet. Those figures are manufacturer specifications rather than results we have measured, and the long-range and ionic systems should be treated as manufacturer-listed features. The unit runs from a 10.8 V / 54 Wh Li-ion pack — GER Detect rates it at 10 hours in pulse-induction mode and 18 hours on the other systems — with a 98 × 57 mm, 480 × 270 px colour touchscreen, a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth link, coils sealed to 30 cm of water and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Everything travels in a single 68 × 50 × 30 cm hard case at about 9 kg.
