Ogliuga Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hello Midalake, with magnetic “accept”, that Program isn’t usable on very hot soils. But I’m going to do other tests, on hematite, with a new custom program. It sounds promising, better than Focus 2T.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did testing on a Salt Beach with Black Sand, it seemed the depth and detector response was not as good when Magnetic Reject was chosen. This was another case where it was better to be in Magnetic Accept and use sensitivity to adjust performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogliuga Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 On hematite, with magnetic accept, is not possibile to ground balance machine. Unfortunately.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately.. can you test a target under a hot rock (20-30 cm rock) if it can detect it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogliuga Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 I always test at home using a hematite stone. It’s the first test I do. But it’s about 1 inch thick. Its mineralization is extreme.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogliuga Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 It’s very difficult to give an answer. I’m a relic hunter, I have also a 5000 and work with it to find little targets in mineralized soils. Don’t know if you are a relic hunter or a prospector. Now I always go on hematite with D2 and It’s ok for my relic hunting.. Obviously, little targets which D2 can’t detect will be detectable by GPX. .

Ogliuga Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Looking for big targets like that I don’t think you need a 5000. Detectors like D2, in my opinion, are more than enough.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detector Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 but they are very deep and i am afraid that it will be masked by hot rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
