Like in Culpeper, Va. Not interested in (or willing to pay for) a PI. Just your opinions on a VLF detector. Thanks for your help.

Best detector for hot powdered iron ground

Tesoro , Garrett , White's,Teknetics . Just checking . Apparently you are right . I couldn't post it here .
Any m-lab multi frequency unit....they cope well with high mineralisation.Whites top end detectors have one of the best ground tracking systems available with the ability to lock in a setting when the ground gets really tough.The mxt is designed to operate in minerals that contain gold nuggets and this is about as bad as ground gets.Good luck with whatever you choose.
I've used the MXT in the ground he's asking about and it is just as handicapped as most VLF machines are. The best machines are PIs. I know you didn't want to hear that, but its true. I saw some people doing ok with Fishers (like the 1270), but the problem is that bad signals are good targets and vice versa in that ground. That's why there are still relics in the ground there.

Yeah I know the PI's perform best in that ground. Most people don't know how bad it is. The FBS detectors do a little better than the VLF machines, but not much. Believe it or not, my Nautilus IIba found nice relics at good depth when everyone said it wouldn't. The trick was to keep the coil an inch or so above the ground. If you touched the ground with the coil, you got a major all metal buzz.

No need to bring it here, unless it's a GPX.

Well how about that , now it prints Minelab , it sure didn't before . Must have been a poltergeist .

In my mineralized ground my Explorers didn't get the depth of Explorer users in other states. I now own a Sovereign GT and there must be something about BBS technology versus FBS in my soil because this is the deepest detector I've ever owned.
