Metal Detector Advice

[Steve Herschbach]

Idahogold, have you ever detected in the U.K.? We are talking thousands of years of ferrous targets in the ground. The original poster did say iron discrimination is important for good reason. A GPX no doubt has the depth, but it is seriously lacking in the ability to discriminate ferrous targets.

If you would like a preview Paul, just put your FORS CoRe in Gen (all metal) mode and dig everything. The GPX iron discrimination does not work at depth.
