if it was lost recently...and the area is certain then

no discrimination at all...it will not be a big signal, nor deep....

if you have access to a goldbug or similar detector use that.

OK ,  appreciate the reply.

I doubt those machines can detect the post. It's too small and white gold - bad combination. And those are lower frquency detectors specifically made to not pick up every little bit of aluminum... and unfortunately tiny jewelry. You are probably going to need a 13 kHz or better machine. As Fred notes the Fisher 19 kHz Gold Bug or F19 or Teknetics G2 or G2 plus would do the trick, as would many others.

Not sure where you are but you might try Ringfinders or a local metal detecting club for help.

Im in Fenton Missouri about 20 mi. w of STL.

Thanks for your input

Hi

Neighbor lost a 3/4 carat diamond earing w/small white gold post.

I tried my old Eagle ll sl  & Bounty hunter 101 but they don't seem to be sensitive enough.

Any suggestions??
