Got out yesterday for some gold panning and metal detecting with the XP Deus with the new 9" HF coil. Please believe me when I tell you that this thing picks up the tiniest specks of gold.

I was running in 58.8kHz and was finding specks of gold so small, I could barely see them.

This nugget right here weighs in at half a gram and it damn near blew my headphones off. It was a good day...

Great success -Did you find this in a river with many Hot rocks? Did you follow the black sand streaks? I'll be in NH in mid-July for sluicing, dredging and "Md"ing, any tips on tuning?-Sluicedog

Thanks. Yeah we got a little gold. Most of it is super small flakes, but sometimes you get lucky.

I run in GoldField mode, sens-99, freq-58.8, react-1, IAR-3, threshold-2, audio resp-4.

Now dig everything that beeps.

Those settings will find everything that is gold. From the smallest speck, barely visible, to nuggets.

Thanks on tuning tips, I'll try to set the GMT with a setting that is mirroring yours if possible
