Gold Step Pro Max
Gold Step Pro Max is a professional multi-system detector developed by BR Systems for gold detection, treasure searching and underground exploration. Instead of relying on a single search technology, the device combines five different detection systems that can be used for locating potential target areas, examining underground anomalies and carrying out more detailed searches.
The device includes 3D Ground Scan, Live Scan, Long-Range Detection, Ionic Search and Magneto Scan. Each system serves a different purpose, giving the operator the flexibility to select a search method according to the target, terrain and stage of the investigation.
With the 3D Ground Scan System, users can examine underground areas and visualize detected anomalies for further analysis. The Live Scan System supports real-time investigation of the ground, while Magneto Scan is intended to identify magnetic anomalies related to metallic objects and underground features.
For searches covering wider areas, the Long-Range Detection System provides an additional method for identifying potential target locations before conducting a more focused investigation. The Ionic Search System is designed to detect ionic anomalies associated with metallic targets that have remained underground for extended periods.
Gold Step Pro Max uses Power Max 55 and Power Max 25 sensors and incorporates technologies including BRF signal filtering and automatic ground calibration. These features are designed to support signal processing and help the detector operate under different terrain and ground conditions.
Operation is managed through a 4.3-inch color display, providing access to the device’s search systems, settings and scan information. The interface supports English, French, German, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic, while the internal memory can store up to six scans for later review.
By combining several detection methods within one portable platform, Gold Step Pro Max provides a versatile solution for professional gold prospecting, treasure detection and underground investigation. Users can move from broader target localization to more focused scanning and analysis without depending on a single detection technology.

Integrated Multi-System Technology
Rather than depending on one detection method, Gold Step Pro Max combines five search systems with dedicated sensors, signal-processing technologies and a digital operating interface. This allows the operator to use different approaches throughout the search process—from investigating a wider area and locating potential target zones to performing more focused scans and examining underground anomalies.
Detection performance is influenced by several factors, including target size and characteristics, burial conditions, soil composition and mineralization, environmental interference, device configuration and operator experience. Any manufacturer-stated depth, distance or performance specifications should therefore be considered reference values rather than guaranteed results under every search condition.
The 3D Ground Scan System of the Gold Step Pro Max provides a visual method for investigating underground areas and analyzing detected subsurface anomalies. Scan data is processed by the device and presented as a 3D visualization directly on its integrated display, eliminating the need for a separate laptop or tablet during field operation.
The system can be used to investigate buried metallic objects, potential treasure targets, underground voids and other subsurface anomalies. The resulting scan provides additional visual and measurement information that can help the operator evaluate the investigated area.
3D Scan Visualization
After completing a ground scan, the collected data is converted into a three-dimensional visualization on the device screen. The generated scan can be viewed from different angles, allowing the operator to examine the approximate location, dimensions and characteristics of detected anomalies.
Scan results can also be saved in the device's internal memory for later review and comparison.
Target and Depth Information
The 3D Ground Scan System provides measurement information that can assist with the interpretation of detected anomalies. Based on the collected scan data, the device can also display an estimated target depth.
These measurements and visualizations are intended to support target analysis. They should not be interpreted as guaranteed identification of a particular metal, object or underground structure.
AGC Automatic Ground Calibration
Before scanning, the system can use AGC (Automatic Ground Calibration) technology from BR Systems to calibrate the detector according to the surrounding ground conditions.
This calibration process is designed to help compensate for differences in soil characteristics and reduce the influence of mineralization and environmental interference. Proper ground calibration provides a more stable basis for collecting and analyzing scan data under different terrain conditions.
Power Max 55 Scanner
The system performs its 3D scanning functions with the Power Max 55 Scanner. During the scanning process, the sensor collects measurements across the selected search area and transfers the required data to the device for processing and visualization.
Its compact configuration also makes it practical for systematic field scanning across different types of terrain.
Adjustable Scanning Area
Operators can configure the length and width of the scanning area before beginning a survey. This makes it possible to adapt the scanning procedure to the dimensions of the site and organize measurements systematically across the selected area.
3D Ground Scan Depth
According to BR Systems specifications, the 3D Ground Scan System has a stated maximum scanning depth of up to 16 meters under suitable conditions.
The 16-meter figure is a manufacturer-specified maximum, not a guaranteed detection depth. Actual performance depends on factors including target size, material and orientation, burial conditions, soil composition and mineralization, moisture, environmental interference, scan configuration, scanning technique and operator experience.
Specification 3D Ground Scan System Manufacturer-Specified Maximum Depth Up to 16 meters under suitable conditions Applications Metals, gold-related targets, underground voids and subsurface anomalies Audio Alerts Supported Digital Indicators Supported Vibration Alerts Supported Target Analysis Provides measurement information to assist with evaluating detected anomalies Depth Indication Estimated target depth displayed on screen Ground Calibration AGC automatic ground calibration Scanner Power Max 55 The Live Scan System of the Gold Step Pro Max provides a real-time method for investigating underground conditions while moving through the search area. Measurements collected during operation are processed continuously and displayed directly on the device's integrated screen, so no external laptop, tablet or separate analysis software is required.
While the 3D Ground Scan System is used to scan a defined area and generate a three-dimensional result for further examination, Live Scan is designed for continuous observation of measurement changes during field exploration.
Real-Time Scan Display
As the operator moves across the selected area, the system processes incoming measurements and presents them as dynamic graphical information on the main display.
Variations in the displayed data can help identify potential metallic targets, underground voids, cavities, tunnels and other subsurface anomalies, depending on the target and surrounding ground conditions.
The Live Scan graphics represent sensor measurements and detected anomalies. They should not be interpreted as photographic or video images of objects beneath the surface.
Continuous Ground Investigation
Live Scan does not require the operator to define a fixed scanning length and width before beginning the search. Instead, measurements can be collected continuously while moving through the area.
This approach makes the system suitable for preliminary exploration, tracking changes in underground conditions, following potential anomalies and investigating larger search areas before carrying out more focused analysis.
AGC Automatic Ground Calibration
The Live Scan System uses AGC (Automatic Ground Calibration) technology from BR Systems to calibrate the system according to the surrounding ground conditions before scanning.
The calibration process is designed to help compensate for variations in soil characteristics and reduce the influence of natural mineralization and environmental interference, providing a more stable basis for real-time measurements across different terrain conditions.
Power Max 55 Scanner
Live Scan operates with the Power Max 55 Scanner. As the operator moves through the search area, the sensor collects measurement data continuously, which is processed by the device and presented through the Live Scan interface.
Actual performance depends on several factors, including target size and characteristics, burial conditions, soil composition and mineralization, moisture, environmental interference, device configuration, scanning technique and operator experience.
Live Scan Depth
According to BR Systems specifications, the Live Scan System has a stated maximum scanning depth of up to 16 meters under suitable conditions.
This represents a manufacturer-specified maximum rather than a guaranteed detection depth. Actual achievable depth can vary significantly according to the target, ground conditions and operating environment.
Specification Live Scan System Manufacturer-Specified Maximum Depth Up to 16 meters under suitable conditions Applications Metals, gold-related targets, underground voids, cavities and subsurface anomalies Audio Alerts Supported Digital Indicators Supported Vibration Alerts Supported Ground Calibration AGC automatic ground calibration Scanner Power Max 55 Target Analysis Supports differentiation between metallic and void-related anomalies Pause Function Supported According to BR Systems, the Long Range Locator System integrated into the Gold Step Pro Max is designed for large-area exploration and preliminary target localization. Rather than beginning with a detailed scan of a limited area, the operator can use this system to investigate a broader search zone and identify potential locations for further examination.
Before starting the search, the operator can select a target category and configure the available search parameters. During operation, the system provides directional, visual and acoustic indications intended to assist in narrowing down potential target areas.
This approach allows the Long Range Locator to function as an initial stage within the Gold Step Pro Max search workflow. Areas of interest can then be investigated more closely using the device's other detection and scanning systems.
BRF Frequency Filtering
The system incorporates BRF (BR Systems Frequency) filtering technology. According to BR Systems, this technology is designed to process transmitted and received signals while helping reduce unwanted interference associated with surrounding ground and environmental conditions.
BRF filtering is intended to support more stable operation across areas with different soil characteristics, mineralization levels and terrain conditions.
Target Selection and Search Configuration
The Long Range Locator provides several configuration options that allow the operator to adapt the search according to the intended target and investigation area.
Available functions include:
- Selection of a specific target category before beginning the search.
- A dedicated Precious Metals search option.
- An adjustable search-range setting from 100 meters up to 2,000 meters, according to manufacturer specifications.
- An adjustable depth setting from 1 meter up to 50 meters, according to manufacturer specifications.
- B.U.M. automatic monitoring technology to support compatible search operations.
- Power Max 25 Sensor for operation with the Long Range Locator System.
- Radar-style visual indicators displayed on the integrated screen.
- Acoustic feedback to accompany visual search indications.
- G.L.Y. laser guidance technology for directional assistance during target localization.
- Adjustable frequency settings between -25 Hz and +25 Hz for additional operator configuration.
- Custom Mode for further user-defined settings.
Selectable Target Categories
According to BR Systems, the Long Range Locator provides selectable categories for gold, gold ore, silver, bronze, copper, aluminum, iron, lead, tin, mercury, diamonds, emeralds, sapphire, water, voids, caves and precious metals.
These selections represent the manufacturer's available operating categories and should not be interpreted as guaranteed identification or discrimination of a particular underground material.
Manufacturer-Specified Range and Depth Settings
According to BR Systems specifications, the Long Range Locator provides a maximum selectable range setting of up to 2,000 meters and a maximum selectable depth setting of up to 50 meters.
These values describe manufacturer-specified system settings and should not be interpreted as guaranteed detection range or depth. Actual detection performance can vary significantly depending on target size and characteristics, material and orientation, burial conditions, soil composition and mineralization, moisture, electromagnetic interference, terrain, environmental conditions, device configuration and operator experience.
For this reason, the Long Range Locator is best considered one stage of a broader investigation process. Potential areas identified during long-range exploration can subsequently be examined using the 3D Ground Scan, Live Scan and other detection systems integrated into the Gold Step Pro Max.
The Ionic Search System of the Gold Step Pro Max provides a specialized search method intended, according to BR Systems, for investigating potential long-buried gold targets.
Unlike the device's broader scanning and detection modes, Ionic Search is specifically focused on gold-oriented exploration. It can be used during the initial investigation of an area to identify potential zones of interest before examining them more closely with other systems integrated into the Gold Step Pro Max.
Ionic Gold Search Technology
According to BR Systems, the Ionic Search System is designed to respond to ionic anomalies that may be associated with gold targets that have remained underground for extended periods.
During operation, the user moves through the search area while observing the system's responses. When a relevant anomaly is registered, on-screen indicators and acoustic alerts provide information that can assist with evaluating the response and determining the potential direction of the target area.
By monitoring changes in the signal while moving through the site, the operator can progressively narrow down an area of interest. That location can then be investigated using other Gold Step Pro Max systems for additional scanning and analysis.
Power Max 25 Sensor
The Ionic Search System operates with the Power Max 25 Sensor, which is designed for signal acquisition during compatible search functions.
Its compact configuration supports mobile field operation, allowing the user to investigate different areas while continuously monitoring the device's visual and acoustic responses.
Visual and Acoustic Search Guidance
Search information is presented through visual indicators on the integrated display, helping the operator monitor changes in the detected response while moving across the investigation area.
The system also provides acoustic feedback, giving the operator an additional indication when evaluating signal changes and potential areas of interest.
Field Exploration Across Different Terrain
The portable configuration makes Ionic Search suitable for investigation across a variety of field environments, including flat surfaces, rocky locations and uneven terrain.
Detection results are influenced by factors such as ground composition and mineralization, environmental interference, target characteristics, burial conditions, device configuration and operator technique. The system's indications should therefore be treated as part of the overall investigation process rather than as guaranteed identification of underground gold.
