More Micro Gold with Exterra 70

[Neilo]

I went out today going over some old diggings. I managed to score 4 tiny bits total weight 0.2 grams. A friend of mine was there using his GP4500 with a 6 inch coiltek coil. I got a signal and before I dug it I called him over to see if he could pick it up with his machine. No it would not pick it up. The little nugget was about 2 inches down. I am really pleased with the performance of the Xterra. I was using the 6inch round hf coil. its a great combination. Seeya Neilo

Thanks Neilo, Nice finds! Any chance you could post another pic of them, with a ruler or something along side. Those of us in parts of the World without nuggets might not realize just how small of target the X-TERRA is capable of finding. Thanks in advance. HH Randy

Thanks for that Neilo, must be hard to pinpoint and then separate those ~0.05 gram micro nuggets out of the soil. How do you do it, what is your technique?? Using a plastic scoop, cup, your hands, an electronic pinpointer, or??

The X-70(5) in Prospecting Mode(also in AM) must rival the GMT and Gold Bug-2 for finding micro gold like that.

That is neat that the X-70 w/ 6" HF DD beats the GPX-4500 w/ a 6" Mono on micro gold!

I only have a 5x10" HF DD for my X-70. It will not pick up as small of gold as the 6" HF DD, but the 5x10" runs quieter in high mineral ground I have heard.
