Extremely Small Gold With Equinox 800

Recommended Posts

just returned from AZon 21st March. I had my Euinox 800  and SDC2300 with me but decided to use my Nox 800 the most as i have many hours of experience on the machine.

So the following setting worked very well (for me): Gold 2, Recovery speed at 6, Iron Bias 1+2 set to 0, ground tracking on (I was amazed that in different areas the ground balance would stay in the range between 1-3) blocking the number -10, -9 , -8 and + 11 + 12 +13 +14 as hotrocks were so plentiful.

I was able to run the sensitivity at 22 all the time using the 6" coil.

Many targets showed a wide range of ID numbers. When a single digit positive number +1 or +2 or so showed up once or twice checking the target I switched to all metal mode to reconfirm the positive number               and dug it.

This way I found a bunch of BBs and small lead screddings and 2 pieces VERY small pieces of gold specimen. Both together were reading at 0,03 grams. Both rang up with an ID of 1 loud and clear being so small. I just can’t believe it. If other machines will pick up gold smaller than that I would have to bring a microscope all the time.

Thank you for posting the pictures and information, I will try your settings for some of the places I hit up near me.

Did you find anything bigger and if so how much larger were they.

Good luck on your next outing.
