What You Get at Each Price Level
Under $3,000: a dedicated diamond locator
The UIG Diamond Hunter Smart is built for one job, locating diamonds and gemstones, and is the lowest-priced way into this category.
$3,000 to $4,000: diamonds plus other targets
The UIG Gold Hunter Smart adds gold, metals and cavities to the same device, which suits buyers who prospect for more than one thing. The GER Detect Diamond Hunter Smart and GER Detect Titan 500 Smart are the GER Detect options in this range.
$5,000: the broadest search modes
The UIG Titan 500 Smart covers gold, diamonds and gemstones with four search systems. If you want one device that also does 3D imaging, compare the multi-system units in 3D ground scanners.
What to Know Before You Buy
- These are long range locators. They are designed to indicate a direction and area to investigate, not to image a stone in the ground. Many buyers pair one with a ground scanner or careful sampling.
- Range and depth figures are manufacturer ratings. Real results depend on geology, target size and operator skill. Practice on known targets before relying on a reading in the field.
- Geology matters most. A detector helps you prioritize ground that already has the right geology, such as known kimberlite or alluvial gem areas. It does not replace that research.
