    DFX :Balance salt&ferrous in dual frequency mode?

    If one frequency of the DFX is balanced to salt and the other to ferrous black sand, can you consider this as having "ground balanced out" both noise sources at the same time? Wouldn't the frequency balanced to salt suffer a lot of interference in hot ground? Someone said a book by Jeff Foster...

    Want high frequency prospecting Bounty Hunter.

    How about a prospecting Bounty Hunter at a higher frequency, with ground grab, auto ground balance and non-motion all-metal? Here are somes things it might include: 1. 13 to 18Khz frequency, for prospecting. 2.Auto ground balance with ground grab. 3. Threshold-based non-motion all-metal mode...

    How about high frequency Ace with ground balance?

    How about a new prospecting ACE 400 with ground balance, higher prospecting frequency and non motion all metal mode? It would also be a good all around detector. Some suggestions that might be included: 1. run at 13 to 18 Khz 2.Non motion all metal mode 3. ground grab and auto ground balance...

    No VLF can balance out both salt & ferrite at once

    I've discovered that multi-frequency VLF's AS WELL AS single frequency VLF's lack the capability to simultaneously balance out black sand and salt water. The alternative is a pulse induction detector. The Motion Discrimination curcuit on some VLF's may screen out the signals from black sand and...

    Need Scorpion update:Battery? Salt switch?

    Here are some suggestions for an improved Scorpion Gold Stinger. 1.Improve battery situation. 2. Could the threshold be made more stable? Is this necessary? 3. Add salt switch. This could stabilize the threshold in some situations! 4. Add ground grab and automatic ground balance. 5. Add preset...

    Will X-705 find small gold nuggets? Handle hot grnd?

    Will the X-705 find small, 1 or 2 grain to 10 grain nuggets, with the 18.75Khz prospecting coil? I'm looking for an all around detector that can prospect and small targets are important. How does the X-705 handle hot ground? Do you have to decrease the gain very much?

    AT PRO doesn't have all metal mode. Has zero mode

    Info from talking to Garrett Customer Service Rep: The AT Pro has several search modes with various options. NONE of them are a true all metal mode, but there will be a "zero" mode. While the AT will run at 15 Khz, it will NOT be using the 15khz groundhog circuit from the Scorpion Gold...

    Wanted:Infinium with Gain, volume, overload protection

    The Infinium PI could use an update. 1. It lacks a Gain control. You must increase the DISC instead! 2. Like other PI's, it has problems with EMI. Whit'e TDI PRO is supposed to be exceptionally stable and immune to EMI. Jim Straight uses the Infinium to gold nugget hunt, but many serious...

    F70/F75:Can they find 1-10 grain targets? Will the F5?

    Will the F70/F75 find 1-10 grain gold nuggets? Must I surrender notching on the F70/F75 and buy the Goldbug Pro to detect 1-10 grain targets? How about the F5? Will it work for small gold nuggets?

    Garrett AT PRO lac ks threshhold adjustment

    I have been informed on the Garrett 1-800 number that the AT Pro lacks a threshhold adjustment and is a silent search machine. Since many gold nugget finds allegedly occur after hearing a slight change in the threshhold tone, the silent search on the AT Pro is not ideal for gold prospecting. I...

    Tesoro Lobo ST Depth, hotground ,durability, temperature

    1. What are the smallest gold nuggets found with the Lobo ST? White's MXT gets one half grain with a 6x10 DD coil! Can the Lobo match that? Does it need a smaller coil? 2.In hot ground with the gain reduced, how much depth does the Lobo get with the stock DD coil? 3.How low must you reduce the...

    MXT PRO:Depth, durability and temperature

    1. How durable is the MXT PRO? 2. Can it operate from 25 degrees F to 105 degrees F? 3.In hot ground with the gain reduced, what kind of depth do you get with the 6x10 DD coil, the SEF 6x8DD and other coils? 4. How low must you set the gain on the MXT PRO in hot ground with various coils? While...

    TDI, MXT SAFARI & GOLDBUG

    White's TDI handles hot ground, EMI and finds targets as small as #8 birdshot. The only DRAWBACK is the lack of a disposable battery option. How do you recharge in the field? A solar panel? white's MXT is supposed to make less noise in hot ground than the X-Terra 70 and the Spectra V3. Is this...

    goldbug pro vs Vaquero and GMT

    The new goldbugpro is supposed to handle hot ground and small targets with a 5" DD coil. What if you replaced the stock concentric coil with a small coil on the Tesoro Vaquero? Or used the 5.75" DD coil on a goldmaster GMT? Would this be just as good? Or any other prospecting detector running...

    White's Spectra V3 detector

    Is the Spectra V3 better for gold nuggets than single frequency VLF's? Does it handle hot ground better? How does it compare to PI's in hot ground? Will it find small gold? How small? Is it deeper than single frequency VLF's? As deep as a PI, with same size coils? How does the V3 compare to the...

    Minelab Safari detector

    Is the Minelab Safari better for nugget hunting than single frequency detectors like the X-Terra 70 or the White's MXT? Will it handle hot ground better than other VLF's? Does it compare to Pulse Induction (which is also multi-frequency) in hot ground? Will the Safari find small gold? It has...
