Would that be .114 of a grain,or gram?
.114 grams which is just over 1/10 gram and i can pick it up at about 2"-3" at 1" it's really loud, I could probably pick up much smaller the way this one sounds off but i don't have smaller
I would have to look it up,but how many grains in a gram?
Ok,1 gram is 15.4 grains.
I think my detector will pick up around 1/2 gram maybe.
It is the Groundhog running at 15khz.
7 inch coil
I need to ask around some more because I want a new detector.I have asked some of the more or best guys on here,but zI need to ask them a few more questions.
For instance, I see you have a GB2 .Now it runs at 71khz. Now I know why it finds small gold.
Whites GMT-48khz.I can see this one easily.
My two favorites are the GB2 with the 6 inch coil(not the pro)there is no LED screen and you go by sound only on the GB2 and the Whites GMT which has a LED screen and a grab ground balance feature..... The GMT will go deeper as i read the book "Zip Zip" by Larry Sallee and he only uses the GMT..... the gold bug2 you manually ground balance constantly and to be truthful i don't want to did deep as i'm too old to did up a boot tac 12" down..... my optimum is one of each until the Minelab PI machines come way down in price and weight. I hopefully will never sell my gold bug2 as it was way better than my minelab xterra 705 gold which couldn't even pick up my test nugget..... scour craigs list for a deal on either one when your ready as you can't go wrong with either one but don't forget you need a good set of headphones and there's about four that are tops
But for instance, Tesoro LST,17.8khz, atgold-18khz, and at pro-15khz. GB-19khz, GB pro-19khz, Now since mine runs at 15khz,why would the machines I listed,be that much better,since they are only 2-4 khz higher than mine.
Or is it because they are newer technology.
I don't think they are that much better because of the kHz they are multi purpose machines and if that's what you want get a GB Pro because it is a really good all purpose mostly gold machine
The Garrett gold scorpian so called is the same frequency as mine,with the same controls.
Just made to look like the newer models and looks.
I sold my Xterra 705 because the only place to use them around here is in kids parks and the mothers look at me awfully strange...... I want to be out in the desert
I need to buy some grains, and then add them to my bottle.I have a gold bottle with flakes in it.Will have to see if my scale will even pick it up.
Or the gold up.I bought a jewelers scale from ebay.
