Bought a new detector after months of debating... settled on the F75 with the 5"DD. Took it out for a test drive and boy was I impressed. This machine found small gold quick. I spent about 20 minutes playing around and found two of the larger pieces in the vile. I would have used it more, but was trying to teach my dad how to pan and sluice. Next time!!!

Hiii....

Gold Flake is the largest selling cigarette brand in the world especially in parts of Uttar Pradesh, India.It is sold in various varieties, including Gold Flake Kings (84 mm), Gold Flake Kings Lights (84mm), Gold Flake and Gold Flake Lights. It is a well-positioned brand in India . This brand is owned, manufactured and marketed by ITC Limited, the leading cigarette maker in India.
Other popular cigarette brands owned by ITC are Wills & Scissors. Gold Flake is ITC's middle level brand in terms of price. However the Kings varieties are more expensive with pricing about the same as Wills Classic varieties of cigarettes.
The single largest brand in the country in value terms (approx 14% of the US$150 million market) is Wills Navy Cut, which was launched in July 1963.
After being available for over 60 years, Wills Gold Flake was discontinued in the UK in 1986, but continues to be sold in the Republic of Ireland. It is regarded there as one of the finest Virginian cigarettes on the market, though can be difficult to find. Packets now state that 'in the coming months Gold Flake will become Players Navy Cut.' This coincides with the discontinuation by British American Tobacco (BAT) of Sweet Afton, another long standing filterless cigarette sold in Ireland.

Just wondering what settings you were using. I cant get my F-75 to read gold flakes.

Hi there,

Sorry I missed your post about F75 settings. I hear I should be using all motion for gold, but the boost mode running around 90-99 sensitivity (depending on ground conditions) with the small coil will pick up a large flake/picker at about 2" or so. I happened to be in a whole a friend was just giving up for the day and let me search around. I had three hits, two were flakes and one was bird shot. Steve at AK mining has some great articles you can read on this and many other machines out there.
