My Daughters got me a Teknetics Delta 4000 for Christmas, as a longtime prospector I was very excited, however that has now turned to confusion.
My question is this, What Numerical Value would I see displayed for small gold?
I tested the detector on a gold ring, my small bottle of flakes and the reading was approx 18, in the iron range, Also tested on a Silver Standing eagle, Morgan, Franklin .50 cent and down, so I know what to look for in the Silver Value range. It just seems to me that I'll be digging up more iron trash than any gold, I was using it on the default discriminate mode, sensitivity level 8, after reading the manual this seems to be the best setting to use as the "all Metals" mode will eliminate iron, but the iron range is where I think the gold will be detected... I live in Placerville CA so you can see why gold is one of my targets
Any Advise is much appreciated
Thanks
