Overview
The Minelab Eureka Gold is a versatile switch-on-and-go VLF gold detector built on Minelab's exclusive triple-frequency technology. With a simple switch you choose 6.4 kHz for maximum depth in heavily mineralised ground, 20 kHz for all-round general detecting, or a highly sensitive 60 kHz to pick up the smallest nuggets that other detectors miss — making one machine flexible enough for both hobbyists and serious prospectors. ACCU-TRAK digital ground balance, with switchable two-speed tracking or a fixed setting, takes the guesswork out of variable goldfields, while microprocessor-controlled iron rejection works at every frequency and a variable ferrous discrimination control tames trashy soils. The detector pairs Minelab's 10″ Double-D 'easysweep' elliptical coil for wide, stable coverage with a NiMH rechargeable battery system and an ergonomic, well-balanced shaft suited to long sessions. It is made in Australia and carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Frequently asked questions
What do the three frequencies on the Eureka Gold do?
You switch between them to match the gold and the ground: 6.4 kHz reaches maximum depth in heavily mineralised soil, 20 kHz is a balanced all-round setting, and 60 kHz is highly sensitive to the smallest sub-gram nuggets.
How deep does the Eureka Gold detect?
Depth depends on nugget size and soil, but in favourable ground at the 6.4 kHz setting the detector can reach larger targets to around 2 m, while higher frequencies trade depth for sensitivity to small gold.
Which coil comes with the Eureka Gold?
It ships with Minelab's 10″ Double-D 'easysweep' elliptical coil, which gives wide ground coverage and stable depth and works across all three frequencies.
What power and warranty does it have?
The Eureka Gold runs on a rechargeable NiMH battery system and is backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
