montana Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Reg. $69.95? Holy cow . What a bargain if it really works as they say. Do you know who makes it?----Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave wiseman Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Bob,there's supposed to be various models,under many names of this Chinese made beeper.Modified ones are/were being tested by jack lang in OZ.Believe it's a VLF with all abilities. A moded one might be good for shallow bedrock gold.Perhaps Reg or someone else would let you test out a modded unit.Be interesting to see the results............Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave wiseman Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 If you google Gold century metal detectors or e-bay there are various priced models,probably none modded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigDeep Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Reg, do you know how to modify these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexb Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Sounds very reasonable price wise, you almost can't lose at that price unless it breaks after a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hi Digdeep,No, I have not had any direct communications to speak of about the mods being done on the Goldsnoop. I have heard some rumors plus what has been written on one of the OZ forums. Also, I have not looked inside at the unit to see how it is made at this time because of a lack of time. If I get a chance, I will do that and see what can be done. Right now, even as a unit with no mods, it works quite well. At least, mine does. That is part of the reason I am in no hurry to try to change it. Also, I am short of time available to try to reverse engineer the unit. I personally, wouldn't be afraid of using it the way it is.Reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi All,I took a quick peak inside the GC 1023 and decided I didn't want to try to fool with it right now. I have too many other things I need to do before I take time to play with this detector. Besides, my unit seems to be quite sensitive as it is. Now, my unit has two IC's sort of coated with some kind of wax, which will complicate things when trying to figure out just what is what. I am not sure why they are coated. So, someone else will have to take time to try to mod one of them since I won't have time. Reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
