Dances With Doves Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I was detecting about 8 years ago when someone walking on the beach handed me a earring they just picked up on the shoreline.That was the easiest gold I ever got. This is the test target which is .53 grams and 3/4 inches in diameter thin hoop yellow 10k earring that I buried a little over 4'' with open clasp which is way more difficult.I tried the GMX with a 10 sens. and boost 2 with sat in middle setting and I got a soft signal on the target and I could lift the coil and still get it in 1 direction but in other angles it was a little weaker.It seems you need more coil control on this machine for tough targets with the sat.This test is a pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 I tried the xterra 6'' 18kz. dd coil on this earring first in the prospect mode and I got a very weak soft signal with no room to spare. I then tried it in the coin mode in 1 tone and got a very weak soft signal with no room to spare and -8 negative numbers constantly.The goldbug pro with 5inch coil would probably do about the same from what I hear. This test I would call up in the air depending on the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Good test. The Gmx is hard to beat. Unfortunate White's is down. Maybe they will come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a headphone adapter for 1/4 inch.Whites said to use better headphones for smaller targets for GMX. I wonder what are the best headphones for GMX/24k?

Rick N. MI Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 With the adapter I used the White's Pro Star that worked very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the ohms since whites says to use greater then 60 ohm headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dances With Doves Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 I put on the 6inch coil for nox to test my hoop earring first in pk2 multi freq and 22 sens. and got pretty good hit at some angles with low number id plus some iron id numbers.in 20 kz. it was weaker and a ugly signal with bad id.In 40 kz. it was a better hit with not as ugly a signal. 20 kz. was 24 sens and 40kz .was 25. I would normally dig multi and probably 40kz.I then put it in gold 2 and multi with 23 sens and it hit very hard with 2 inches to spare with nice id mostly and more angles that were better.In 20kz. at sens. of 24 it gave a nice signal with mostly iron id.In 40 kz. at 25 sens it hit very hard with mixed id and 2 inches to spare.i liked multi best here and this target was easier then GMX to work because you can move nice with short fast swings to isolate target. Equinox best here in my opinion in multi gold mode.With the GMX you are not as confident in the id as the Nox since it can wrap around more.Still the Gmx hits it very nice when you center it in the bulls eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 I tried the 4 by6 for the Gmx on this target and I barely got a hit that was hard to set apart from some of the false signals I got.The real signals finish there sound where false signals keep going and are not consistent. It would be tough to get this target with this coil. I tried a 1/10 grain nugget by putting it on the ground and it hit it over and inch.It seems this small coil is more for surface targets for small gold.
