Excalibur on small chains and studs... :cam:

Sadly it wont pick the chain up, or the small studs. But this is an air test, and its in the house, so it may not be operating to full potential. Its just an FYI only. I have no pulse machine to take a video of, but i would think it wouldnt do much better if any at all. I dont recall my dad, or i finding any small studs. I think he found a larger silver one though. HH yall!!

Rob,
You inspired me to try and test some items I had previously tested w/ my excal that failed to respond. Raided my wifes jewelry for a couple things. Neither the necklace nor the earring responded to air tests w/ the Excal. I pulled out the Aquasearch for a try. The chain responded even when straight at a distance of about 2". Depth increased to about 3-4" when balled. The earring responded at about 1". With the back on, depth appeared to increase slightly.(not a strong signal, but repeatable). Items tested where placed on a clean piece of ground and swept. I know... not very scientific. Was happy to see the PI responded even on a straight chain. (the plastic cap in the center is the size of a nickel)

I recently found a small very thin, streched out, copper chain with my PI at about 3" in moist sand. It was a low broken signal....I always dig any low signal, actually most signals. Dont know yet how gold ones will sound but i suspect its about the same.
 
I didnt want the video but so long, that way it wouldnt take forever to upload on photobucket. :lol: Anyway, i put it in pinpoint mode, and ran all 3 targets by it, and it didnt do ANYTHING. Not even a hint that it might pick them up..... HH

OUCH! I was afraid you were going to say that. I love my excal but man, I didn't miss a thing with my PI Pro (including hair pins and rust spots, Hahaha). That's O.K. I know I've found small hoop earings smaller than a dime. I'll pass on the small gold chains to get some honkin rings and not dig junk! Thanks for the video.
 
last week and it rang out fine. It the chain surrounding the coins.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks more like silver to me. I think the issues he was having were with thin gold necklaces
 
OK. Yeah, it's silver plated.
 
I can understand you doing those, but take it with a grain of salt. In ground conditions tell me differently than your results conclude. I recovered a finer gold chain(no pendant or medallion), than the one pictured and it was a broken low tone, with Excal 1000. I have recovered studs as well, but no gold ones. Probably because they do not wear gold ones in Galveston, LOL! Just remember, real time results are the best for the gospel truth. GH
 
After I recovered the chain, I waved it under the coil and it did not signal it! Noticed a significant increase in my sensitivity, since having Minelab cut off the coil wire, to 40". What a difference that has made! Significant increase in stability too. Let us know how the underground deal works out. Take it to the beach and bury targets in the wetsand, with a fishing line tied to them. Then you have as close to real time as you can get. Have talked about doing this, but never followed through. That would be facinating! GH
 
..and even GH gotta admit its dicey. The best stud earring finder I ever took in the water? Believe it or not, my Garrett 1350.
 
... for a detector. They are single loop inductors, which means that couple the detectors signal very well. Chains on the other hand, are mostly air and there isnt a single piece of metal for the instrument to detect.
Im not saying it doesnt happen - they are just the worst thing to detect.
