1/2 gram gold nugget detector test.
I have a .5 ( 1/2) gram gold nugget and decided to test my 3 detectors. All 3 were set with DISC settings at the minimum and were tested in the same exact room and spot in the house.
The Whites M6 ( 14khz)with the stock coil set just a little past the SENS presets without chattering,and no ground balancing, saw it at 1/2 inch---Loud and clear.
The Garrett AT Pro in Pro Mode -Zero more sensitive to EMI inside the house, and setting the SENS to 2 bars instead of 6 bars,so it wouldn't chatter, and on auto ground balance, saw it at 1/2 inch-----Loud and clear.
My IDX ( 6.59khz) with 9.5 inch coil, saw it at 1/2 inch , only after setting the SENS at almost the maximum setting without chattering----Loud and clear.
The M6 and AT Pro are close to the same frequency ( in the 14-16 khz range) but in my honest opinion, outside with a good ground balance and maximum adjustment setting the AT Pro would be able to detect even a slightly smaller nugget at a slight more depth than the M6 could.

O ya thumbsup01 Got to try one! Our family likes to camp at St. parks and that would be a good simple detector to take to the beach in the water and at that price on good ring and its paid for!! :yes: Thanks for all the info.

Strung the detector in the air from the ceiling fan with some nylon thin rope. no metal within 3 feet of the detector.

Robbie my MXT with the D2 coil on it seen this 1 gram bullion in a 14K bezel at about 4 inches. It VDI'd at 22 and gave a really loud signal
Re: 1/2 gram gold nugget detector test.
Is the AT pro a threshold detector or silent search?

Can't do that! I just sent the Vision in for the upgrade. And my other babies are too young to leave home. :grin:

Silent search
Re: 1/2 gram gold nugget detector test.
I wasn't sure if it was a treshold detector or not, I wonder how the MXT would do in that test?
Re: 1/2 gram gold nugget detector test.
That sounds pretty far fetched to me Robbie :dontknow: :thinkingabout: ,,, Better send me that nugget for retesting lol lol lol :angelic:

That has more flat surface area than a 1/2 gram nugget, and would read as a larger target.
I wanted to see if any of my detectors would pick up a signal from a small piece of gold...and they did.
