Reverse Hunting, Pinpoint Hunting At The Beach

[midalake]

I am surprised with the "no chains" as well. I have found plenty with my GT hunting in all metal pinpoint. I would estimate at least 10-12 of different sizes without a pendant attached.. I hope the nox will also be able to do that......I agree, everything changes in salt.      Dave

There is always going to be a problem of the raw physics of saltwater and gold overlapping when the gold gets small enough. There is no technology, including the new Fisher Manta, that can fix that because it is inherent in the physics. If you make a detector hot enough it will get the small gold but it WILL detect the saltwater also. If you get the machine to ignore the saltwater, you will also ignore the gold that reads like saltwater. That will never change using VLF, multifrequency, or PI because they are all based on the same rules as regards conductivity.

If a metal detector is tuned to ignore saltwater, there is a lot of gold the detector cannot and will not be able to detect. Period.
