Identifying large gold nuggets with the GS5?

[bakergeol]

I assume large gold objects including large rings and nuggets will produce a low tone on the GS5. Besides the issue that the tone character for these objects will be quite different compared to large iron, can another way be used to determine large low conductors? What I am referring to is borrowing a page from the Infinium playbook. To determine large low conductors Infinium users use an elliptical coil and gently place the very tip or "toe"of the coil just over the edge of the target.This produces a low conductivity tone. I was just wondering if by using an elliptical coil one could receive a high(low conductivity) tone with the GS5 using this Infinium technique over large gold.

Steve Herschbach of Alaskan mining and Supply Co, has the most expereince with Infinium in US I think, has tried large nuggets up to 6oz and still got Hi-Low tone, different nuggets may have different characteristics, as well as alloys. Don
