If you are the type who enjoys exploring ancient sites, dense forests, farms, abandoned mines, or little-disturbed land, the DC2008 from Mineoro was made for you.
We’re not talking about a common coin detector… we’re talking about ancient treasures, buried for decades, whose locations most people can’t even imagine.
The DC2008 is a long-range directional detector that works with a electrostatic ionic field.
In treasure hunter terms:
it was designed to locate gold and ancient objects buried for years, creating an “ionic trail” in the soil.
While coil detectors sweep the ground, the DC2008 points toward the target, helping you save time, energy, and unnecessary digging.

The DC2008 makes total sense if you:
Search for treasures buried long ago
Explore ancient or little-disturbed sites
Want to locate the target direction before digging
Prefer mobility and practicality in the field
It’s the type of equipment for those who think big and don’t waste time with superficial metal trash.
The DC2008 is not recommended for:
Recently lost coins or jewelry
Shallow objects or recently buried items
Ground heavily disturbed by machines or recent digging
As with any long-range detector, results depend on soil type, site history, and burial time. There’s no miracle — only the right tool for the right target.
If your focus is ancient gold, large targets, and serious exploration, the DC2008 is a strong field partner.
It doesn’t promise easy finds — it delivers direction, range, and focus on treasures most will never find.
For those who think like real treasure hunters, the DC2008 makes sense.
Now it’s up to you: sweep the ground… or point directly where the treasure might be.
1 – Does it really work to find gold?
Yes. It is designed for natural gold prospecting, veins, and ancient targets. Results depend on the operator’s knowledge, soil type, and target size.
2 – Does the DC2008 detect natural gold veins?
Yes. It is intended to locate ancient natural gold veins that remain stable in the ground for long periods and generate a broad and stable ionic field.
3 – Can the DC2008 detect alluvial gold (alluvial deposits)?
Yes, as long as they are old and stabilized deposits, such as auriferous gravels and ancient riverbeds.
4 – Does it detect recent gold or gold recently moved by water?
That is not its focus. Recent gold or freshly disturbed soil usually does not generate enough ionic field for long-distance measurements.
5 – Does the DC2008 detect small nuggets?
Isolated and recent nuggets may not generate a significant response. Best performance occurs in natural concentrations, veins, or ancient deposits.
6 – Does the DC2008 detect iron or metallic trash?
The equipment is mainly focused on gold and, occasionally, silver and copper. Common ferrous objects and recent metallic trash usually do not produce a significant response.
7 – Does the DC2008 detect recent or surface metals?
That is not its focus. Recent or surface objects usually do not generate a sufficient ionic field, helping to reduce false signals.
8 – The older the target, the better the result?
Yes. Targets buried for many years tend to generate a more stable ionic field, improving the equipment’s response.
9 – Why does buried time influence detection?
Over time, metal undergoes oxidation and corrosion, releasing ions into the soil and forming an ionic cloud that increases as the years pass.
10 – How long does gold need to be buried to generate a detectable ionic field?
The process begins within hours or days, but after approximately 10 to 20 years, the ionic field is usually sufficient for long-distance measurements.
11 – How does the DC2008 “see” the target without using a coil?
It does not use a VLF coil. It works with ionic directional classification, capturing variations in the ionic/electrostatic field of ancient targets.
12 – What does directional detection mean in practice?
The equipment indicates the direction of the target, allowing you to gradually close in on the point without scanning the ground meter by meter.
13 – Does it indicate the exact point to dig?
It indicates direction and area. For greater accuracy, the kit includes the Center & Deep meter, which helps with target centering and depth estimation.
14 – What is the maximum depth it can reach?
It depends on the target, soil conditions, and settings. It was developed to locate deep targets that common detectors cannot reach.
15 – Does it work better than traditional coil detectors?
They are complementary technologies. The DC2008 locates and directs ancient, deep targets; coil detectors help with confirmation.
16 – Other detectors claim long-range capability. What is the difference?
Common detectors are more efficient with surface objects. The DC2008 is focused on deep and ancient targets, with directional detection.
17 – Does the DC2008 replace a common detector?
No. It complements it. It is ideal for large areas and deep targets, while common detectors assist with confirmation.
18 – Is it easy to use?
Designed for professionals. Operation is practical but requires technique and experience for best results.
19 – Is it suitable for beginners?
It can be used by beginners, but the best results come with study, practice, and reading the manual.
20 – Does the DC2008 need to be calibrated before use?
Yes. Proper calibration is essential. The product includes a manual and an official calibration video.
21 – Do I need extra accessories to use it?
No. The kit is complete: DC2008, case, support, Center & Deep meter, manual, and calibration video.
22 – Is it recommended to use another detector together with the DC2008?
Yes. Professionals use the DC2008 to direct the target and confirm it with a coil detector or probing.
23 – Does it work on any type of terrain?
It was developed for common mineralized soils. Recently disturbed soils may reduce performance.
24 – Does it suffer from electrical interference?
It may experience interference in areas with high-voltage power lines or urban environments.
25 – Does it work on mountainous or uneven terrain?
Yes. It is lightweight, portable, and does not depend on constant ground contact.
26 – Do weather or humidity affect its operation?
Normal conditions do not prevent use. Waterlogged or recently disturbed soils may reduce signal quality.
27 – Is performance the same in any region?
Results vary according to soil type, area history, and operator experience.
28 – Why choose the DC2008 Mineoro instead of another detector?
Developed for professional gold prospectors, with ionic directional technology, national manufacturing, and local technical support.
29 – Why pay more than for cheaper detectors?
The price reflects a professional, durable piece of equipment with technical support and warranty.
30 – Does the product come with a warranty?
Yes. One-year manufacturer’s warranty with technical support. New and original product.
31 – How long does delivery take?
Shipping occurs after payment confirmation, via postal service or carrier. Delivery time varies by address and can be simulated before purchase.
32 – Does the DC2008 guarantee finding gold?
There is no guarantee of discoveries. The DC2008 is a prospecting tool, and results depend on the area’s history, soil type, buried time of the target, and operator experience.
