Popular Post Gerry in Idaho Posted July 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 Go west young man and be sure to take a VLF gold detector. That was the dream I had...so I packed the rig and off I went. My research showed load gold and so I knew the potential for some VLF pickin was possible. The White's 24K performed as I had hoped. Photos of a few more specimen pieces. Yes I did get a manual and it makes a world of difference. I think I'll go back to another site I found a picker and with the new settings, I should be able to and some more to the poke. After all, mama needs more shoes. I'm expecting to have new in box detectors to sell and of next week. Contact me for details. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 How deep were those, Gerry? Just curious. I've learned to appreciate the eye appeal of gold on quartz specimens like these. Looks like you didn't even have to acid treat them. Beuties! Even the patina on the '62 Memorial cent -- you definitely know how to frame up your finds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dawg Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Does the patented new ground balance allow any more depth than older tech vlf nugget machines? Or does it just smooth out noisy ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhogg Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 That speci in the scoop look Awesome!. But I’m guessing myself as well as others want to know if this detector can find that tiny gold that a lot of the higher frequency detectors can find?, And what makes this new detector from Whites stand out , different or a lot better improvements wise compared to the GMT or other White’s detector’s as let’s face it it’s been a fair while since they’ve released a VLF Gold orientated Detector. I guess with the talk that there might have been a dual frequency type detector that they might have been releasing some of us have had high hopes of a detector that might be a game changer like the Minelab Equinox has been hailed as. Please keep us all updated with your finds and thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Folks, My conditions could be totally different and probably are. The sites I have been detecting are not typical mineralized soils, but more of old worked tailings and ore dump piles. The 1st pic piece was only 3 to 4" and it was a screamer as expected for that size. The 3rd pic, which is the 2nd nugget was maybe 3" at most. The last pic was actually the deepest and it was 5 to 6". Guess I messed up on the photos as I do not have a pic of the 4 posted...sorry. I'm not an Engineer so I could not say for certain if the new XGB alone adds more depth, but I am a believer of the smoother a detector can operate, the easier my ear can hear distinguish a faint signal. I do feel in the sites I have tested, it does run much smoother and less EMI as well. Also, I am able to operate literally 5 feet away from another 24K. This is from White's - Detection of the 24K is better in certain situations up 40%. Yes, even an ugly nugget can look good if you know how to take a picture with right lighting and background. My 4 biggest LIKES of the 24K so far. 1st is User Friendly Operation. 2nd is the Smoother/Fast Ground Balance. 3rd is price. 4th is...I'm finding some nice gold...and having fun doing it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I just found this video of Toms about the 24K and it looks impressive and it is a first class instructional video on Toms behalf too. John. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Digger Bob Posted August 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2018 Well, these aren't as impressive as Gerrys, but I can attest that it is a real upgrade to the GMT. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Now that is a fine video there my friends. Not only did Tom do a fantastic job of showing the detector, he actually took the time to explain each button very well. Hats off to you Tom Boykin and thanks for sharing John. Heck, I learned so much I'm heading out to find some gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
