How the Rover C4 Detects Gold Deposits at Historic Reed Mine
Join Mark Harris, CEO of OKM Americas, as he conducts a practical field test at the historic Reed Gold Mine using the OKM Rover C4.
By applying the Mineral Scan mode, naturally occurring gold deposits are successfully detected, demonstrating how modern detection technology can still deliver valuable insights in centuries-old mining environments.
What You’ll See in This Field Test
- Reed Gold Mine in Focus: Background on America’s first documented gold discovery and why the site remains relevant today.
- Mineral Scan in Real Conditions: A clear demonstration of how the Rover C4’s Mineral Scan mode is used to identify gold-bearing mineralization.
- Detection of Natural Gold: The scan targets natural gold deposits — not buried artifacts or man-made objects.
- Technology Meets History: See how modern scanning methods complement historical mining knowledge.
- Practical Application: A real-world example of how the Rover C4 performs in professional gold prospecting scenarios.
This video shows how geological knowledge and modern detector technology work together to support professional exploration. The Rover C4 proves that even historically mined areas can still yield meaningful data when examined with the right tools.
