Can Vista Gold find small stud earrings?

[swoop]

When I test my detector before I use it, like most people, I usually drop some items on the ground. One I always have trouble getting a good signal on is a ladies diamond stud earring.
Very little gold or silver, but it's the diamond you would really want of course.

My old Garrett Scorpion at 15 khz detects it in all metal, but not very clearly. It it is slightly buried, no way I would find it.

Will the DeepTech Vista Gold hit it at say 3 inches deep or so?

very easy and within 3 to 4" deep on average............ have found .17 caliber bullets 7" with the vista gold

Thanks for the info. I'm try to decide between an AT Pro or a Vista Gold. If anyone has both I'd be curious if the Vista is better at small gold. I don't mind digging so full discrimination and notch is not that important to me. I just want to know everything that is in the dirt.

the gold is a way deeper machine more sensitive then the at pro and gold plus the gold is more suited frequency 15khz vs 25 with the gold but the garrett are water proof up to 10' so if you do go for the garrett go with the at gold both are good machines I just prefer a analog machine vs digital

AMC's information is spot on. I have tried hunting with the AT Pro, and although it is a really good all around machine it can not come close on depth to the Deeptech Vista Gold....Stuart
