I know of a public place where there is a lot of swimming in many areas over a sprawling body of water. Water depths range up to 10 ft. The bottom is slity with vegetation, down about 18 inches then sand. Visibility is excellent in some areas and murky in others.
I would like to detect for gold jewelry in this water, and would like advice from anyone who has detected in this type of condition. I only want to detect for gold as the bottom will be riddled with all kinds of metal from pop tops and caps, to cans, nails, all kinds of crap. Is there a unit that can be purchased to detect only gold? How deep should I expect a unit to penetrate? Any info or advice would be appreciated, I have used metal detectors only enough to know that you just dont turn them on and go. Learning curve of the unit will have to be considered.
Thanks for any advice you are willing to share.
