Pyrite is FeS2, Iron Sulfide. Not worth much.

I see you are open to suggestions on detectors. Might I suggest either an Minelab Xterra 705 or a At-Pro?

Yup, it can go underwater to 10' I think that is the best feature.

However some pyrites have gold tied up in them. You have to use chemistry to get it out so only worth doing if you have lots.
