If you are the type who is not satisfied with shallow finds, enjoys history, prospecting, old maps, and that thrill of being over something big… the FG80 from Mineoro was made for you.
We’re not talking about a common coil detector sweeping the ground.
The FG80 is a long-distance directional detector, designed to track gold and ancient treasures buried long ago in large, promising areas.
The FG80 works with ionic classification / electrostatic ionic field, a technology focused on ancient deposits, where the soil has already “absorbed” the metal over the years.
Instead of staying only on the surface, you point, track, and narrow down the area, saving time, effort, and avoiding digging in the wrong place.
It’s the type of equipment used when:
there is a history of prospecting or mining
the terrain is virgin, remote, or little disturbed
the target is natural gold, nuggets, or ancient treasures
you want to cover large areas before digging
Range reported by researchers: up to 960 m (0.60 miles) with electrical interference
Up to 1,200 m (0.75 miles) in clean areas, far from networks and machines
Light, portable, and discreet (~1.5 kg) (3.31 lb - pound)
Easy to carry on trails, forests, mountains, and isolated areas
Perfect for those who take prospecting seriously and enjoy exploring far from the obvious.

Metals it detects:
✔ Natural gold
✔ Gold objects
✔ Occasionally silver and copper
The FG80 is not a toy and does not perform miracles.
✔️ Works best with ancient metals, especially gold
✔️ Requires practice, patience, and proper reading of the terrain
✔️ Recently disturbed soil, urban areas, and electrical interference interfere
✔️ Results depend heavily on operator experience
In other words: those who learn, evolve, and persist… have a chance.
Those who want to press a button and find gold in 5 minutes, this is not the right equipment.
✔️ Experienced treasure hunters
✔️ Miners and prospectors
✔️ Explorers of historical areas
✔️ Those seeking something big and ancient, not modern coins
If you understand that treasure involves risk, study, and persistence, the FG80 can be your ally.
The FG80 Mineoro is an exploration tool, not an empty promise.
It opens possibilities where ordinary detectors cannot reach — as long as it is used correctly.
If your focus is ancient gold, buried deposits, and long-range exploration, this equipment can make sense in your arsenal.
FG80 is not for the curious. It’s for those who take treasure hunting seriously.
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 FG80 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 FG80 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 FG80 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 FG80 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 FG80 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 FG80 “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 FG80 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 FG80 is focused on deep and ancient targets, with directional detection.
17 – Does the FG80 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 FG80 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: FG80, case, support, Center & Deep meter, manual, and calibration video.
22 – Is it recommended to use another detector together with the FG80?
Yes. Professionals use the FG80 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 FG80 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 FG80 guarantee finding gold?
There is no guarantee of discoveries. The FG80 is a prospecting tool, and results depend on the area’s history, soil type, buried time of the target, and operator experience.
