18kH gets me a pure gold signal

T

amazing that the 18kH locked on to the gold leaf on this shard of victorian pottery !
it says ' A PRESENT ' , it got a 98 on the ID and i was expecting a good coin so was confused at first that it could be this shard !
i thought the gods were having a laugh when this came up from 4 inches down .
i had the discrim on 0 and reactivity at 1
no other frequencies would see it .
gold leaf is virtually pure gold and not much of it .
astonished ....
 
Now thats incredible! I really can't wait for my Deus to get here. I challenge any other detector (within the Deus' price range) to pick that up. Simply astonishing. It seems the gods were having a laugh on this one. Great find, thanks for sharing. HH -Marc
 
Really neat. I would be curious if the E-Trac would pick it up. Thanks for sharing.
 
no chance with the etrac. IMHO maybe a gold bug 2 or something like that would pick it up.

how deep was it? did you check the hole again? still find it hard to believe , how big is the piece?

Are you sure that there isn't a metal under that porcelain?
Thx for sharing!
 
i checked it again in air with sense' at 96 a bit chattery ,and got a repeatable signal ,with the right hand of the horseshoe indicating a good target .thru the backphones it appeared a good target .
discrim at 0
reactivity at 0

[size=x-large]I don't think that the VDI of 98 relates to the 'gold leaf' .

Your target's 'baked' body etc., is most likely the cause of the unusual reading.

Very curious... I agree with the Marshall... that VDI is not right for gold. However on a very weak signal I noticed that my Deus likes to give 98. It also gives that on large deep iron.

It would be interesting to see if modifying the GB could have it get a more accurate VDI or is there just too little gold there?

Looks like it up averages the VDI of a weak signal. That's not necessarily a bad trait as long as there are other provisions to help eliminate iron signals/falses.
 
i did an independent test on a piece of gold leaf which i rubbed onto a piece of card as shown here .
just to see what the results were .its a very light piece of leaf fragment which i generally use for gilding picture frames .
in my own prog with disc at 0 and reactivity at 0 and gain at 99 i got a very good signal ,in air waving the sheet over the coil ,i got 5 inches with a good signal in the backphones and the right of the horseshoe lit up .
no ID though .
in deus fast and G Mpower i got about 4 inches in air waving the sheet of card over the coil .
no ID reading but horseshoe in the right sector .
the sheet was upturned with the gold leaf away from the coil .
 
just as a matter of interest i checked the 2 items with the Garret pin pointer and it wont register anything.
nada ,even when touching them .
 
i checked the 2 items with my T2 SE and it sees the gold leaf fragment but not the shard with the gold leaf lettering .
 
interestingly the T2 Ids the gold leaf as foil on the meter ,so it got the thinness correct .amazing

"Hello again"

'Target',
............ Will you do a little test, and see if it better reveals the cause of the high VDI which may be wrongly attributed to the gold leaf?

As I previously suggested, and after yours and many others tests and comments, I'm confident that the high VDI is really due to the iron traces and magnetic anomalies of the baked 'clay'.

The test:- ......Find if you can, an ordinary furnace cured, clay house brick.

Simply scan across the brick, (No Disc. settings), and see if it to produces a similar VDI.

(Be aware that the dryness or dampness of the brick, will possibly produce different VDI's)

Thanks in advance, for your time and original contribution, for 'variety is the spice of life', when usually we're more focused on coins etc.......Matt
