Thanks alot. I don't know if you have seen my FB page, Goldsboro Treasure Hunting Lounge, but like the page and you can see all I have found and am finding. It will not pick up really small gold. A fella at the lake said his girlfriend just lost a small gold cross that was around her neck and asked if I would try and find it. He had one around his neck and I asked if I could try and pick it up with the Scuba Tector. He let me and it did not pick it up. If you look through the photos on my FB page, you will see what I have been finding with it. Many goodies, but no really small gold. The main reason I use it is because it is easy to conceal in swimming areas where a detector is not allowed....clandestine detecting. I am missing small gold, but if there is a mens wedding band in there and it is not more than 2-3 inches deep, I will get it. I get a little more depth by using the coin trick...put a quarter near the head until it starts beeping, and back it off. Gives me an extra inch or so. I have easily paid for the Scuba Tector with my finds.
