New toy alert!

Well, at least I'm just learning about it. Anyone have one? I wonder what size the gold would have to be before it was detected?

I was just researching one of those and found this. Super tuning, helps with small nuggets.

I know Herb! About the same price as the landlocked pointer AND waterproof to 10 feet! Sigh. By the time my birthday comes the river will be at it's banks again. Maybe next season.

I don't have one but I've played around with it a little. Brought in some gold to see what it could detect. Anything airsoft BB and larger it got from a couple inches away. Smaller stuff didn't register. The gold in the pictures vial are large pickers/small nuggets. It detected them individually.

I've got the older black one and it works very well for metal detecting, once you locate a target with the big one. But what I really like it for is when I'm out prospecting, I bring an plastic #4 classifier and wave the detector over it before dumping out the classifier. I've always wondered how many nuggets got pitched over the years, of course as of yet it hasn't changed anything but I feel better about it..

I really like that idea with the plastic classifier!

That's what I do with my MD. The HF pinpointer I have barely works. It will find a nickle 1 inch away but only IF it is laying flat. I tried the coin trick on the side of the wand and maybe got another 1/4 inch.

BTW, the one time I got a signal in my discards, it was a nail. lol

I have both the old (black) one and this newer one. The new one can pick up smaller stuff that the old one couldn't. For example, the old one couldn't find most sub gram stuff. I tested the old one on various sized pickers a guy had at a show and it wouldn't find any of them. The new one can, but you have to be close and anything smaller than a picker it won't find. Both units are excellent pinpointers and extremely durable in the field. I can't imagine not having a Garrett pinpointer while I'm relic/coin hunting. I don't use either Garrett for gold though. For that I have my Falcon, which just cannot be beat in the realm of detecting small gold. But the Falcon is expensive and FRAGILE. If only we could have the Falcon's guts and technology in a Garret-like pinpointer housing. That would make me very happy.

I have a pulse induction unit. It will only hit nuggets that are 0.5 gm. and larger. Hope we get some lol. Enjoy
