    Where to bring specimens to confirm Gold content?

    Haven't been prospecting for 12 years but if I remember right pyrite will give off the odor of sulfur if smashed. Your friend doesn't have much to lose if he smashed a chunk , if it's gold it will just get flatter and bigger :) Does it look like this

    Is it gold?

    Nice ring but probably means it is gold BONDED which is a higher quality than plated , probably a little thicker.

    Ground Balance

    Not a "good" signal but I have seen really scratchy signals that I would probably not dig but caught my attention disappear if I kept trying to make it into a digable one;)

    Ground Balance

    I do the same thing(noise cancel) first but also always wonder if that is something which changes with each frequency and is the whole process necessary everytime a new frequency is selected. I don't change from M3 often but do on occasion. When I do check the GB manually , I find the reading...

    Incredible Collection

    My guess is the government will find a way to seize it now that they have come forward and exposed the collection. Brilliant!!

    Ground Balance

    I go auto then engage tracking. I'll rebalance/check occasionally but always make sure tracking is on. Virtually all my detecting is on man made landscape surfaces with alkaline sub surfaces of decomposed granite and the ground can change suddenly depending on what type of fill was used...

    Where to bring specimens to confirm Gold content?

    You're not providing near enough info to get a valid answer. I would look for a gold and silver dealer some where close to the area it came from to start and hope they would steer you to someone that could answer his questions , at least that person could probably confirm whether it's pyrite or...

    LG28 coil and pinpointing

    I have about 300 hours on mine now and probably half with the 35 (13.5") , a little with 6x8(24?) and the rest with the 11" and have had no problem pin pointing with any of them. There have been several times I pinpointed the "wrong" object with closely related items but for the most part it is...

    Video on recovery speed

    I seldom run recovery beyond 6 as most areas are not that trashy and the ground is tough to get much depth in since it's mostly alkaline decomposed granite and I like to think I'm getting more depth at slower recovery levels. I'll put my thinking to more of a test when the 100 degree temps let...

    Lets here your guesses

    Part of light fixture , towel bar , faucet handle , cabinet knob , etc. , hopefully copper or brass and worth the scrap value.

    Been watching them for 20 days so far.

    Looks pissed off enough to kill deer! Those are often mistaken for snipe by the unknowing.

    Anyone else practice archery?

    No wheels for me , did that in the early 80's and it never took , too much like shooting beer bottle caps with a .22. Groves , Pro Medalists , Damon Howatts , Predators , Treadways , and a dozen others keep the rotation interesting. Those $1000 and up customs are above my paygrade but...

    Question.

    Maybe some one is playing with your mind and knows you detect so they toss a few things in the yard when you don't see. I know some guys that would sneak into a friends driveway everynight and put a couple of gallons of gas in a buddy's car and got a real kick out of listening to him brag about...

    Any suggestions on best settings fo Nokta Legend

    I would put my personal expectations setting on low , use the slower than common swing speed setting and the endless digging of all targets on the highest setting. ;)As much as we like to think the machine will make all the difference , the fact that several machines have already passed over the...

    Legend issues

    Keep that audio off(AO) in mind if it occurs in the future. I keep going back there , not to be a PITA , but because I experienced much the same issue a long time ago and actually stopped detecting once and headed home thinking a trip to the service center was the next move. I was hunting a site...

    Legend issues

    Next time/if it happens check for AO on the right side.

    Legend issues

    Are you sure you are not inadvertently muting the machine holding the frequency button down too long?
