Discovery 500 – Gold Africa
$5 104.00 HTVA ($5 104.00 TVAC)
Advanced technology for gold and archaeological research
Specially designed for gold panners, treasure seekers and discerning explorers, the Discovery 500 – Gold Africa Edition incorporates today’s leading detection technologies. Thanks to a powerful combination of pulsed induction, magnetic scanning and 3D mapping, it offers a complete and accurate subsurface analysis at depths of up to 18 meters.
3 Advanced detection systems
FluxScan – Strategic magnetic analysis for gold and buried cavities
The FluxScan system is one of the major assets of this edition. It is based on the detection of disturbances in the earth’s magnetic field, revealing areas rich in magnetic minerals often associated with gold, such as magnetite or pyrrhotite. What’s more, it identifies cavities, tunnels, veins and underground anomalies invisible to conventional detectors.
This technology is ideal for mapping promising areas prior to excavation. Users can view the results in real time via the touch screen, or obtain detailed 3D mapping using the mobile application. Whether you’re in a rocky, alluvial or mineralized zone, FluxScan gives you a strategic, in-depth view of the
Live Scan – Immediate, dynamic signal display
The Live Scan system enables direct, continuous visualization of the signals captured by the device. Each variation is instantly translated into a graph on the color touchscreen, enabling the user to quickly target areas of interest.
This feature is perfect for active field research, where responsiveness and immediate interpretation are essential. By combining visual simplicity and operational efficiency, Live Scan facilitates decision-making in the field.

3D imaging – Interactive underground mapping for advanced analysis
With 3D imaging, the Discovery 500 Gold Africa turns every exploration into a visual experience. Raw data from detections are transformed into three-dimensional models that the user can rotate, analyze and explore layer by layer via the IVM 3D Analyzer application.
This technology enables the shape, size and depth of detected objects to be assessed. It is particularly useful for professionals wishing to reduce unnecessary digging and target their excavations precisely.
