Gold Star’s search systems
Manual long-range locator [MANUAL LRL]
- The new Long-Range Locator technology has been integrated into the Gold Star 3D Scanner through a new powerful detection probe called Intelligent Multi Transceiver Unit or I.M.T.U
- IMTU generates high-frequency wave signals in the search direction, these waves intersect with the signals of magnetic fields emitted by buried metal targets, then the reflected signals are received through a pair of antennas, and these received signals are converted into digital signals inside the main unit of the device, analyzed and visualized on the screen.
In the MANUAL LRL system, the user can manually adjust many scanning settings according to his preferences before starting the long-range scan, here are the available settings:
Targeting
The user can choose here the type of Target, or the type of metal that the target is made of, and can choose from predefined search programs that include all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including: Treasure gold-gold ore-silver-copper-platinum - bronze-iron - diamond-precious stones-Golden veins - Lumen.
Distance
The distance value reflects the scanning field in the forward direction, this value can be set in the range of 0-3000 meters from the preset values: 250 - 500 - 750 - 1000 - 1250 - 1500 - 1750 - 2000 - 2250 - 2500 - 2750 - 3000 meters.
Depth
It is the value of the maximum search depth that can be reached using the existing Search settings, and the value can be set precisely in the range from 0 to 50 meters.
- After setting the previous search settings, the screen displays a summary of the selected settings and the user can press the (start scanning) button to start the actual scanning process.
- Display the result screen in the upper left corner of the Gold Star with a digital compass, which has an indicator indicating the geographical direction of the device (for example, towards the North).
- In the middle of the screen there is a graduated scale in the form of a semicircle with direction angle values, zero degrees in the center and a range of 0-90 degrees in the left and right, an arrow-shaped indicator indicating a specific angle value and representing the direction of movement antennas depending on the user's movement when searching.
- To the right of the result screen is the tilt indicator, this indicator is an important feature that allows the user to accurately and correctly set the angle of inclination of the device from the horizon, the values in green - in the middle - indicate the correct values, on the other hand, the values in red indicate the wrong values of the tilt angle during scanning.
Automatic long-range locator [AUTO LRL]
The AUTO LRL search system in the Gold Star uses IMTU antennas and long-range antennas to search for signals of potential targets within the field of long-range scanning.
It is an advanced search system that covers large areas in the open fields of the selected area, this system has the ability to identify all types of buried minerals by analyzing the captured signals. Here the user can set the following settings:
Distance
It is the distance in the forward Range (forward direction), and it can be adjusted in the range from 0 to 3000 meters as described earlier in the manual LRL system.
Depth
It is the maximum depth of potential targets that the device can reach to find potential targets, its value can be set in the range of 0 - 50 meters as before.
- Having selected the previous settings, the user can start the search process, and during the search, the antennas will move left or right depending on the possible nearby targets, and a visual indicator on the screen will guide the user as it displays a progress bar left or right with gradient colors from Green (minimum) to red (maximum value) based on the target position.
- The user must track the movement of the antennas to tell that he got the best signal and after completion he can go to the "reporting" screen that will display a visual report about the potential target as four horizontal bars (gold - silver - iron - diamond), each bar will display the estimated percentage value indicating the probability of target formation.
Long-range locator control in Gold Star [CTRL LRL]
The CTRL LRL system is one of the new technologies and important features integrated into the Gold Star 3D Scanner, which enables the user to select the exact value of the search frequency in order to search for a specific type of metal or alloy of metals based on a specific frequency value and thereby ensure more accurate results when searching. In this system, the user can set many settings related to the search in Gold Star device including:
Type of soil
It is the type of soil of the earth in the survey area, and it can be set to one of the following types: Rocky - mixed-neutral-clay-mineral-Sandy - mineral - chalky-salty
Frequency
It is the custom frequency that the user can manually adjust using this option. The values range in the range of 250-5000 MHz, they can be set from preset values such as 250 - 500 - 750.... 5000 megahertz.
Distance
It is the maximum distance between the user's location and the target location during the scanning process. This means that the user can search for a custom circular distance around him and this distance starts from 0 to 3000 meters and can be set as in previous systems.
Depth
It is the maximum depth of possible targets that the Gold Star device can reach, its value can be set in the range of 0 - 50 meters as described earlier.
After setting all the previous settings, the user goes to the scan screen and presses the "Start Scan" button to start the search process.
The results screen will display a circular indicator, the direction arrow reflects the direction of the antennas in degrees, on the right is the previously explained tilt indicator.
Ionic system [IONIC]
- The Ionic system in Gold Star uses a new developed technology integrated into a new probe called the intelligent multicast transceiver module or I.M.T.U.
- The technique of I.M.T.U is the first of its kind in metal detectors, and constitutes a significant development from the traditional ion field detection system found in previous Mega Detection devices or competing devices.
- The new technique allows for more accurate detection of ion fields generated by metal targets buried underground thanks to the I technology.M.T.U that ensures accurate reception and processing of incoming signals, with the ability to control some signal settings on the display for more accurate results.
After choosing the Ionic system, the Gold Star device will start searching directly, and here are the possible settings that the user can modify:
Sensitivity
During the research process and according to the target survey, the Ionic system will generate a variable audio tone, it represents the ability to aim or the distance between the user and the target.
The user can change the sensitivity value of the signal for analyzing the output sound, the range of its value varies between 0 and 100, which is the specific value displayed on the circular sensitivity scale.
Gain
- It is the signal gain or in other words the signal strength, the user can control the signal strength using this setting, and it is presented as a percentage value (0-100) on a circular scale such as sensitivity. In general, it is recommended to reduce this value for detecting large-sized targets, and increase the gain value for detecting small-sized targets.
- In the middle of the screen there is a circular indicator, in the center of which is a circle whose diameter and color change depending on the received signal and the distance of the target from the location of the device as it shrinks and expands with a color change to one of the following colors (red, blue or green) depending on the type of target.
- Depending on the received signal, the Gold Star device also emits a sound tone with a pitch and power related to the position of the target and the nature of the signal.
Bionic system [BIONIC]
The electronic system is similar to the Ionic system in terms of how it works and the use of multiple intelligent transceiver module (IMTU) to perform the scanning process, but the difference is that here, Ionic signals are captured from a certain metal object. For example, from a gold ring or a coin, then the search is directed towards capturing Ionic signals similar to metal objects buried underground within the surrounding area. This means that in the Ionic search system, the search is random and free, but in the Bionic system the search is directed according to predefined signals.
After defining the Bionic system and directing I.M.T.U to a specific target made of the metal to be searched for, the Gold Star device will start searching for Ionic fields in the direction of the user's movement and there are the same options as in the Ionic system that can be adjusted:
Sensitivity
The user can change the sensitivity value of the signal for analyzing the output sound, the range of its value varies between 0 and 100, which is the specific value displayed on the circular sensitivity scale.
Gain
- It is the signal gain or in other words the signal strength, the user can control the signal strength using this setting, and it is presented as a percentage value (0-100) on a circular scale such as sensitivity.
- The previous values displayed in the results screen as circular ratio indicators on the right and left sides are similar to the indicators of the Ionic system. Also, the signal strength indicator or strength indicator is a variable-length bar, with variable colors and heights depending on the received signal.
- In the center of the screen there is a circular indicator whose movement and colors change depending on the type of Target and the signal is captured by three color possibilities, namely green, red and blue related to the type of target.
- Depending on the received signal, the Gold Star gold detector also emits a sound tone with a pitch and strength related to the position of the target and the signal strength.
Live streaming system [LIVE STREAM]
- The live broadcast is a system developed for the detection of various ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In real time, in the form of direct transmission with a visual representation of the received signal as a specific color stream reflecting the type of target. For example: precious metals such as gold or bronze - ferrous metals such as iron - cavities such as tunnels.
- The signal measurement or scanning process is carried out by a high-signal vertical probe (V.S.T), which is a special advanced probe, at the end of which there is a quadrilateral cone on both sides of the cone there is a set of LED lamps that change their colors depending on the type of target, for example, the lamps will emit red light if the targets are a golden object or blue if it is a tunnel.
- The captured signals are represented by V.S.T after calibration is displayed on the Gold Star gold detector screen as a continuous color flux that changes its color according to the type of potential target, similarly, it is red when capturing a precious metal signal and green for ordinary Earth, which is a digital value related to the target displayed on the screen next to the color flux.
- In combination with the color indicator, the device will generate sound tones based on the type of Target whose signals are captured.
- Also, the user can see a visual representation of the signals on the tablet supplied with the Gold Star device within the Mega Detection Multi Visual Analyzer application that displays the signal diagram in a graph and the color of the graph will change in a similar way depending on the nature of the signal, in other words, the type of metal or target.
Three-dimensional ground scanning system [GROUND SCAN]
- This powerful search system in the Gold Star device is a new system with a completely new technology that has been designed and developed, especially for Mega Detection devices equipped with the latest technologies in three-dimensional ground scanning technologies.
- Three-dimensional ground scanning technology uses a powerful and unique new probe called Multi-Ground Scanner (MGS) with four built-in sensors and a large surface area that provides greater ground coverage during scanning and reduces time and effort in scanning large areas quickly with more accurate results.
The three-dimensional ground survey system helps the user to survey the ground and create a visual representation both on the screen of the attached device or tablet. This system can make the search and finding of burials, artifacts and even underground cavities easier for the user with greater speed and accuracy. Settings that can be adjusted on the device screen:

- Manual: here the user records the measurement of signals at each scan point manually.
- Automatic: in this case, the device will automatically record the measurements of each scan point.
Route
The path value provides how the user will navigate in the search to complete the scanning process and there are two options:
- One-way: in unidirectional scanning, the user moves and records measurements at each point in the scanning line and at the end of each line, he will return near the beginning of the previous line but with an offset distance to start scanning another line and soon. This means that the scanning direction will be in one direction on each line or all scan lines will be parallel to each other.
- Zig Zag: in this case the starting point of the next search line will be close to the end point of the previous line or, in other words, the direction of movement will be opposite for each successive line.
Size
Here the user can set the following settings:
- Display: displays the number of raster lines and can be set to the desired value using the arrow controls in the control panel.
- Height: is the number of points in each scan line or scan points, and can be set like the previous value.
Starting point
The user can select the point in the search area (a rectangular area that includes the scan lines and their points) where the scanning procedure will begin.
- On the left: in this case, the scanning process starts from the lower left corner of the search area
- On the right: the scanning process will start from the lower right corner of the search area
- After setting all the previous settings, the Scan tab will display a summary of the previously selected settings and the user can press "OK" in the Gold Star device control panel to start the scanning process.
- During the scanning process, the measurement at each scan point will be visually displayed on the screen on a two-dimensional grid consisting of the number of rows (scan points) and columns (scan lines) of cells, and each cell is displayed in a certain color reflecting the structure of the relevant land area.
- On the right side of the two-dimensional grid, there are several values displayed:
- Current x (current scan line number) - current y (current scan point) - search value
- After completing the scanning at each scan line and point, the scan data can be saved as a file in the device's memory for later analysis.
- In case the user chooses to complete the scan via the tablet, the same settings are set inside the Multi Visual Analyzer application installed on the tablet, the scanning is performed by the Gold Star metal detector in the same way, and the results are displayed directly inside the application in the form of three-dimensional graphics based on the structure of the surveyed land and the various target types it contains, presented in different colors as in the previous table.
- The Multi Visual Analyzer application provides the user with a more accurate possibility to clarify and find out the buried targets, their type, depth, and exact location within the scanned area through its powerful analysis tools.
Pin Pointer System in Gold Star device [PINPOINTER]
This system is used to determine the presence of a metal target or cavity with the exact location where the buried metal or cavity is located through audio or visual feedback displayed on the screen, and the scanning process is performed in search of possible targets via V.S.T is a probe.
In the result screen of this system there are several options:
Sensitivity
During the search process and according to the target survey, the pin indicator system will emit a special scanning sound of a specific tone and the graph visible on the screen displays the presence of the target underground. The user can change the sensitivity value at any time to be able to analyze the output audio and accompanying infographic. The value can be set in the range of 0-10.
Calibration
The user can use this option to calibrate the sensitivity of the sensor at any time according to the type of land and terrain.
Reset
- Reset the calibration process to the default value.
- The visual representation of the received signals on the device screen is a curved bar graph based on the type of target.
- For example, in the case of receiving metal signals, the bar graph will consist of rectangles facing up, of different lengths, with colors ranging from Green to red in the center at maximum values, and then a gradient towards the green with low values.
- In the case of receiving signals of cavities - such as a tunnel - they will be made of rectangles facing downwards, of different lengths, ranging from Green to dark blue in the middle at maximum values, and then graduated towards green at minimum values.
