Are We At The End Of A Chapter?

If you talk with a gold prospector, saying about a gold chain as the hardest item to uncover, it is a joke.

In my still modest 20+ years experience, I found no more than 12 or so.

Every time cause of a pendant still there in the same hole, or at least an eye visible piece.

Long story short, I found at some depth (2" more or less) one little pendant with a weight of only 0.32 gram.

I know, the shape can do miracles in terms of response to the coil, but hey...With the M9 this opened my eyes and that's the reason for the title.

There will be no more progress on a Vlf to avoid salt and listen to chains.

I'm sure now.

Still today, smaller items barely covered in sand can be reached but forget about decent depth perception of it, not underwater.

The low conductors program performs to a limit where I can barely realize if I'm running way hot at 22 or something reacts for real to the coil.

Wrong program underwater, wrong approach to the usual work, I know.

Using different settings and programs will only get You a blind machine like many others on micro targets.

Steve explained long ago the "salt against chains ratio" and now, again I crashed my nose on it.

For peace of mind, I'm considering to stay for some time with a pulse machine and forget micro targets for a while...

I think that I've been lucky enough to push the Manticore to the limit underwater in salt.

That is an extremely small piece of gold to be found in the salt water. I can count on one hand the number of gold chains I have found IN the salt water after decades of searching that had no pendants attached. I too am waiting for a new PI to be used in the salt again for the deep heavy gold.

I'll try some surgery on my Tdi Bh soon.

With a mono Detech 8" that I dismantled to fill with resin and some mods on the pcd I hope to make a different approaching machine for this summer...No more than 13V this time.

Your surgery will be interesting to follow! I reread Steves post that you linked, and the truth hurts. So many times, I have gone into the water thinking today I am going to push my machine to find chains, only to come home with none. The laws of physics are at times sadly real.

Actually I wrote about that post and found soon after my words linked to it...It must be Steve in person to help in this...So I want to thanks him.

Quite an achievement, Skull. Not as much the end of a chapter as the top of your game. 🏆 I noticed right away that the M9 coil is a really great coil, and the Manticore is especially sensitive to low conductors.
