Good Morning RTR,
Welcome to Tnet! That is a nice specimen you have there and that is what the MD 20 is especially good at, finding tiny traces of gold (metal). I expect it can also be used for a variety of search methods in all sorts of conditions as well as to be used to sleuth out a main gold deposit by following tiny traces of whatever metal one is looking for. It would be interesting to read about MD 20 users histories with this capable tool!.................63bkpkr

It comes in real handy when searching thru a pan full of pay dirt.It will find a single "speck" of gold.A real time saver.

Yes counting up the 'Hits per pan' of material can tell one if they should crush or pan more of the material. Thus saving a lot of time prospecting.

Yes indeed

This one sees that you have the 'Ring' set past the black line as most people think they should set the "Ring" at or near the red line good for you as this appears to be the better tuning zone out in the field or for crushed rock in a pan. Thank you RTR for the wonderful picture of what the Falcon can detect and the range thereof.

Looks like you are using the Falcon to help track down the better values.

I spent a bunch of time using the Falcon for a specific purpose. It's a highly specialized little detector, and I've found quite a bit of gold with it.

Where I used it and found it excelled was in bedrock that I'd already cleaned with my bigger detectors, but the back story is I'd found good concentrations of nuggets in a small area, so some of the crevices I'd cleaned had produced a variety of sizes of gold in them, which let me know there was smaller stuff running in the area as well. The Falcon sure found a lot of that smaller stuff for me!

It really was a lot of fun, and the MD-20 sure sniffs out the little pieces that my regular coils on my detector couldn't see, plus because I place the coil head of the Falcon right on the bedrock and work and scrub it into any little depressions or low spots, it find small pieces on edge as well that my Bug Pro and Minelabs found impossible to see.

I recovered quite a few grams in this manner; therefore, it always travels with me now in my pack so that when I hit a hot spot that produces well with .5gram and up pieces with the gold deposited in a tight pattern, the Falcon comes out to play and have a look.

All the best,

Lanny

Thanks for the tips Lanny in AB as scrubbing on bedrock sounds like a great way to use the detector.

I do know it operates at 300KhZ, I have one and just looked at the spec's in the booklet.

This is the reason why the probe / coil of the Falcon can see little specks of values.
