1. Long-Range Search System:
   • How it works: This system uses radio frequencies transmitted through two antennas to detect metal objects from a distance (up to 3000 meters, depending on settings). You can customize settings like soil type (e.g., high mineral, low mineral, sandy), target type (e.g., gold), and scan range.
   • Detecting newly buried gold: The Long-Range system can detect gold jewelry, but its effectiveness depends on the size, purity, and depth of the buried item. Newly buried gold lacks the long-term soil disturbance and ionic fields that older buried metals develop, which this system is optimized for. As a result, detection may be less reliable for recently buried items unless they are large or near the surface (within a few meters).
   • Practical tip: Select "Gold" as the target type in the menu and adjust the soil type to match your environment. Walk slowly, holding the device steady, and watch for the antennas to rotate toward a potential target.
     
     

     
     

     
     
     

     
     

     
2. Free Mode System:
   • How it works: Similar to the Long-Range system, Free Mode allows you to specify precise search frequencies to target specific metals like gold, improving accuracy.
   • Detecting newly buried gold: This mode can help focus on gold jewelry by tuning the frequency to gold’s electromagnetic signature. However, because newly buried items haven’t had time to create strong ionic or electromagnetic fields, detection may still be challenging unless the jewelry is relatively large or shallow.
   • Practical tip: Experiment with frequency settings to match gold, and test the device on a known gold item above ground to calibrate your understanding of its response.
     
     

     
     

     
3. Ionic Search System:
   • How it works: This system detects ionic fields (charged particles) emitted by metal objects buried for a long time, using a Smart Sensor with LED indicators and progress bars showing signal strength.
   • Detecting newly buried gold: The Ionic system is less effective for newly buried gold jewelry because ionic fields take time to develop through interaction with the soil. Freshly buried items produce weak or no ionic signals, so this system is unlikely to detect them reliably.
   • Practical tip: This system is better suited for older buried treasures or artifacts, so skip it for newly buried jewelry.
     
     

     
     

     
     
     

     
     

     
4. Bionic Search System:
   • How it works: The Bionic system is tuned to a specific metal sample (e.g., a gold ring) to search for similar metals in the area. The Smart Sensor is pointed at a sample, and the device looks for matching ionic signals.
   • Detecting newly buried gold: This system could work if you have a similar piece of gold jewelry to use as a reference. However, like the Ionic system, it relies on ionic fields, which are minimal for newly buried items. Detection is more likely if the jewelry is near the surface and matches the sample closely.
   • Practical tip: Use a piece of gold jewelry similar to the buried item as your sample, and test in an area with minimal interference. Be aware that results may be inconsistent for recent burials.
     
     

     
     

     
     
     

     
     

     
5. Smart Depth System:
   • How it works: This system estimates the depth of a detected target by moving in two directions from the target’s approximate location, using the quadrature method to pinpoint it.
   • Detecting newly buried gold: This system is used after detecting a target with another system (e.g., Long Range or Bionic). It can help estimate the depth of newly buried jewelry if detected, but it won’t improve the initial detection challenge posed by weak ionic fields.
   • Practical tip: Use this system only after confirming a target with Long Range or Bionic modes to estimate how deep the jewelry is buried.
     
     

     
     

     
     
     

     
     

     

• Weak Ionic and Electromagnetic Signatures: The  GeoGround Gold Legend's systems(especially Ionic and Bionic) are designed to detect metals buried for many years, as these develop stronger ionic fields and soil disturbances over time. Newly buried gold jewelry (e.g., buried days or weeks ago) produces minimal ionic fields, making it harder to detect, especially at greater depths.
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  
• Depth Constraints: While the device claims a depth range of up to 40 meters, this is optimistic and applies to large, long-buried targets in ideal conditions. Newly buried jewelry, especially small items like earrings or thin chains, may only be detectable at shallow depths (e.g., 1-2 meters) due to their size and lack of environmental interaction.
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  
• Environmental Interference: High-mineral soils, wet conditions, or nearby metal objects can interfere with detection, reducing accuracy for small or newly buried items. You’ll need to adjust soil settings carefully to minimize false signals.
  
  

  
  

  
• Size and Composition: Small or low-purity gold items (e.g., gold-plated jewelry) produce weaker signals, making them harder to detect than larger, pure gold objects.

Tips for Newbie Users

1. Start with Long Range or Free Mode: These are your best bets for detecting newly buried gold jewelry. Set the target type to "Gold" and adjust the soil type to match your search area (e.g., sandy for a beach).
   
   

   
   

   
2. Test with a Known Sample: Bury a similar piece of gold jewelry at a shallow depth (e.g., 10-20 cm) to practice and understand how the device responds. This helps you get familiar with the antenna movement and screen indicators.
3. Use Bionic Mode with a Sample: If you have a similar gold item, use the Bionic system to tune the detector, but don’t rely on it heavily for new burials due to weak ionic signals.
   
   

   
   

   
4. Minimize Interference: Avoid areas with heavy mineralization or metal clutter (e.g., near fences or pipes). Check the balance indicator to ensure the device is level for optimal results.
   
   

   
   

   
5. Read the Manual: The  GeoGround Gold Legend's manual provides detailed steps for each system. Refer to it for setting adjustments and the quadrature method for pinpointing targets.
   
   

   
   

   
6. Expect Shallow Detection: For newly buried jewelry, focus on shallow depths (up to 1-2 meters) and larger items for better results. Don’t expect the device to detect small, recently buried pieces at great depths reliably.
