Using Mixed Mode For Fine Gold Chains.
- Thread starter below2doe
- Start date
This is where ground balance really become critical and lock the tracking. It doesn't take much residual ground return to mask a gold chain. I have better luck with the VX3 / V3i in Mixed Mode when it comes to small gold chains and earrings. The majority of the hits I get on fine gold chains are a result of the All Metal channel. And, because they are so light, very few, even those in the dry sand at the beach are more than an inch or two deep. Hopefully, the most "consistency" will be found in the All Metal response, in that it says "there is a small target there - take a look".
I can promise you this: If you don't want to miss gold, including fine gold chains, make sure to have -6 to +55 accepted and hunt in Mixed Mode.
At the beach you need a concentric coil. In the dirt it will depend on how mineralized the soil is and how much separation you need.
