So a high frequency machine could actually be the best of both words because in higher mineralized soil you have the ability to lower the setting to accommodate that  particular soil.  In contrast, a low frequency machine in somewhat non-mineralized soil is going to be limited.  You obviously can't adjust the frequency up to detect the smaller gold.   Why not have the ability to adjust a high frequency machine down, instead of being limited?    Thanks Mike

Yes In some ways a Hi FRQ could be the better choice but if the ground is too Hot switching to a lower frequency could become the better choice, The fact is there is no Guaranteed answers because what works in one place might not work elsewhere, and another reason why you will see Guys with so many different machines, But now with these new Multi Frequency machines this will help us cut back on how many detectors we use to some degree, But as with many multi purpose machines they All can do many things very well, But they can't do All things very well,

A VLF (lower frequency) model will handle hotter ground If it has a good tracking system matched with a good SAT system.

Those of us who have been swinging VLF/LF's for a long time we all have our own personal choice's and as old as some of those older machines are they can still mix it with the best of them and do equally well, Have a good read of Steve's Nugget Detector choice's and remember if they have a good history or they are proving them selves at this moment in time then they are a good choice.
