Has anyone used a Gold n Sand with md 20

Was thinking of mounting a Falcon MD20 at the end of a Gold n Sands, has anyone tried this and how did it work. Any insights welcome.

Thanks...

No but when I use my goldnsand, it is a couple feet under water so even if it was totally waterproof, I doubt I'd hear it ...what prospecting situation are you imagining using the setup in?

BTW, I bet Red Wilcox, the inventor, would love this general idea!

Thanks Kevin, I always reading your post. I was thinking of using in small rivers and brooks in NH and CT. I maybe taking a trip to Alaska this summer also but not on my plan, my girl friend wants to do the cruise style. I have been thinking of combining the MD20 and a goldnsands to maximize my collections. How deep deep can the MD20 read tones from? 2 inches I think would let me know if I should keep sucking before I move to a new area. It was kind of a Colorado haft baked idea if you know what I mean... If it work like I am thinking could be a great combo... Never seen or heard of it being done... Maybe I should give Red a call...

my Falcon MD10 would only read from 1 inch. it is the same freq (300)as the MD20 except with earphones. i think the gold would have sliped down lower than that..............

Contacting Red via the goldnsand website to ask about this is a really good idea. He's a great guy and, although he's in the middle of producing a tv show, he'll probably get right back to you. If that doesn't work send me a PM and I'll help you get his attention.

Facts I think I know: pin pointers like the. MD20 have to be right on top of the gold, definitely within an inch or so. Hearing it while in a stream, with it on the end of the goldnsand will mean you don't always hear it.

PS thanks for your kind words about my forum participation

Russ au... Earphones would be needed. I have a plan for the rest that might be a good combo...

didnt your MD-20 come with earphones? i thought they did! the MD-10 dont!

I would guess you do not have the MD-20 yet, as if you did, you would know they are only good within an inch or so and black sands would have your ear's a ringing from all the noise it would make around black sands. Watch the video's on the MD-20,,, "go to the gold,,, and away from the black sand" BEEP BEEP!!

I don't have the MD20 yet but from what I have seen you have a positive and negative tone... Not sure which you would follow but I would go toward positive tone... I am working on getting the combo to test.
