Choosing the Best AJAX Metal Detector for Your Budget and Needs

Desert environments, like those found across the UAE and wider Gulf region, are rich in history and hidden treasures — but they also pose unique challenges for metal detecting. At BR Detectors Dubai, we offer original gold detectors built to handle tough terrains, but success depends just as much on how you use them.

Avoiding the following common mistakes can make your desert treasure hunting far more productive and rewarding:

1. Using the Wrong Detector for Gold

Not all metal detectors are suitable for finding gold. A gold-specific detector operates at higher frequencies to detect small nuggets buried deep in mineral-rich soils. Always choose a detector designed for gold, like the internationally approved models we offer at BR Detectors Dubai.

2. Ignoring Ground Balance Settings

The desert is full of highly mineralized soils that can confuse basic detectors. Failing to adjust your ground balance leads to false signals and missed opportunities. Our advanced gold detectors allow precise manual or automatic ground balancing for accurate results.

3. Swinging the Coil Too Fast

Speeding up the search by swinging your detector too quickly reduces sensitivity. In desert terrains, where targets may be small and shallow, slow, consistent sweeping is the key to detection success.

4. Skipping Test Scans Before a Full Search

Before starting your gold hunt, always test your metal detector with known targets like small gold pieces or coins. This confirms your settings are correct and helps you recognize real signals.

5. Neglecting Equipment Maintenance

Sand and dust can easily build up in coils and connectors. After each desert outing, clean your detector properly and store it in a dustproof case. Devices from BR Detectors Dubai come with durable accessories to protect your investment.

6. Not Using Headphones in Windy Conditions

Desert winds can drown out detector tones. Using quality headphones helps you hear faint signals, especially when searching for small or deep gold items.

Avoiding these common errors ensures your gold hunting trips in desert terrain are successful and efficient. With a premium gold detector from BR Detectors Dubai — backed by official warranties, expert support, and fast worldwide delivery — you can explore with confidence.
