The gold gun is a radio receiver similar to a small battery power AM radio receiver.
The gold gun is tuned to one frequency to listen to a radio station.
The design shows a switch which allows you to tune to 3 different radio stations.
The gold gun does not find any signal from buried metals.
The gold gun finds a signal only from a radio station that sends a broadcast at the same frequency that the gold gun is tuned to.
If there is no station sending a radio broadcast to the gold gun, then the gold gun will receive no signal.
Today, the radio transmitters which send signals for the gold gun are not working.
There is no transmitter sending a signal to the gold gun, so the gold gun will receive no signal.
It will only show occasional variations of random noise.
If you want the gold gun to work, you must build a small transmitter that is tuned to the same frequency as the gold gun.
Then your gold gun can receive the signal from the transmitter.
The transmitter does not need strong power.
50 milliwatts is much more than you need.
This transmitter should have a loop antenna to send out the VLF broadcast.
A loop antenna will send a 10mw VLF signal maybe several Km distance for easy reception of the signal on the gold gun.
When you have your transmitter tuned to the exact same frequency as your gold gun, then you can put the transmitter to the side of the place where you want to hunt for buried metal.
When you see that you are receiving a carrier wave from the transmitter, then you can use the gold gun to search for buried metal.
You walk in the field and watch for when the carrier signal goes to a minimum.
Then you move some meters to the side and search a second time to see where you find the minimum signal.
The place where the two lines of minimum signal cross is where the buried metal is located.
If there is no transmitter in the distance sending a signal for your gold gun to receive, then you will receive no signal to show where is the buried metal.
The buried metal does not send out a VLF signal that the gold gun can receive.
Only a separate transmitter can send a signal for the gold gun to receive.
The detection of buried metal is done through the principle of induction due to the metal properties of the buried metal.
The buried metal can make an inductive anomaly of the signal that you receive from the transmitter.
Remember, most people say the gold gun does not work.

"...I could not get the gold gun I had to work. But that may be because the signal was not being transmitted. This unit has a transmitter.
I can't say if it will work or not. I just wanted to let everyone know there was one on ebay".

Few weeks ago, when i went to Olympus for treasure hunting, there was two people who had a GG clone. No results..."
