I've got a Eureka humbolt which I havnt had the time to use much yet on the GT but when I did, though I'm still yet to find gold, I was digging lead shot from sneaky gaps and deep. If it gets lead shot..it will get gold. It did get a bit noisy on mineralised ground but I'm still new to swinging it.

I wave my sluiced alluvial gold under it and small nuggets and it picks them up just like the lead. Settings can take time to get used to for areas and what you want to do.

What's written online is very negative towards the eureka..I don't know why.
