GER Detect Diamond Hunter Smart

The Diamond Hunter Smart is a specialised long-range locator in the GER Detect catalogue, made for people searching for diamonds and coloured gemstones rather than gold. It has three systems: one for gemstones, one for buried diamonds and a depth analysis mode that gives an estimate in metres and centimetres once a target direction is found. It is one of the lighter kits in the range.

The gemstone list includes sapphire, emerald, quartz, topaz, amethyst, lapis lazuli, tourmaline, tanzanite, turquoise, peridot, ruby, aquamarine and others, eighteen types in total. That makes it of particular interest to prospectors in Gilgit-Baltistan, Swat and other gem-bearing regions. GER Detect quotes a depth of up to 50 metres and a forward range of up to 3000 metres, which are the manufacturer's own claims.

The kit is light and simple, built around a main unit with a super antenna, signal enhancer and signal recipient, supplied in a carry case with home and car chargers. It holds CE and ISO 9001 certificates according to the maker. Users should treat readings as a guide and confirm promising spots by conventional methods before digging. This is especially true in hard rock.
