Hi,
I just purchased an Infinium LS and took it to my claim last weekend. I have found small pieces of gold while power sluicing so I thought to chase nuggets. I read the instruction manual and printed out about 5 general 'do this, do that' comments others have used about the detector from years ago....here's my problem.
We chased 5 Low-Hi tones to just get a feel for what it was finding....coat hanger...random pieces of rusted out metal.
We got our first Hi-Low tone and it was a sinker for fishing.
Next Hi-Low was a old can pull tap.
Hi-Low Cap to a egg bottle for fishing.
Hi-Low bottle cap
This went on and on....i dug up about 16 items from the sand bar and each was an old piece of junk.
I have my settings at 0 and 4 as recommended but I only found 2 rocks with quarts that both gave a very very faint Hi-Low.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a way after hitting a Hi-Low that I can change the knobs to discriminate more and weed out the junk. Do I have a faulty detector as Hi-Low was supposed to be gold.
Please help.
Thanks,
Eric
