I don't know much about PI's but I read this quote on another forum. The guy seems to suggest that a VLF (Tesoro Tiger Shark) will go deeper on small gold than a PI. Is this accurate?
"PIs generally don't see the small pieces of aluminum. By the same token, they will not react to the small gold jewelry unless the phase angle of the mineralized conditions raises it to a point where there is a subtle response.
I recently located a White Gold Diamond Ring. Located it at about 4" in the Black Sand at Funston Beach in SF...... BARELY got a SIGNAL. A VLF Detector would have heard it probably twice as deep and three times as loud."
