Somebody Should Make A Jewelry Detector


Recommended Posts

Going along with the lower frequency idea I got out the "new" Id Edge and put the 6" coil on it for some testing.  First thing I noticed was the thing was responding to my hand at several inches?????  So, I taped my (pt) .1 gram test nugget on a ruler and the dang thing hit it with low positive numbers and clear audio out to 1 1/2".  Had to recheck the manual... 6.25Khz.  crazy.

Now that I think about it, the smallest gold chain I have found fresh waster wading was with the ID Edge.

One thing about this detector, it has a narrow field which helps in iron but you really have to use a lot of overlap.  Also, having used a lot of so fast response iron hunters I can say that the ID Edge gives the most accurate target ID I have ever seen on severly co-located coins in nails and not just your typical nails, large rusty spike sized nails.

I always had good luck finding jewelry with the original Minelab Sovereign. Of course, it was multi frequency and had notch capabilities.

The Tesoro Golden Sabre was good too.  It also had notch capabilities.
