Hobo Lobo,
The electrical field of a coil isn't precise enough to detect a single link while ignoring the other links.
Even my MD20 detector cannot detect a single link, because the influence of the surrounding links
is too great.

It's a mudpuppy

A fish with feets.

It's what you catch when you put your worm to close to the bottom of a river.

Am I correct on that mud?

They are very docile critters but a little creepy.

Well...I hunt gold chains...I dream about them at night, truthfully... I Focus up on them...and hit the field with their signals in mind...

These 3 were found within 10 miles of my house..along with all sorts of gold rings, in a heavily hunted environment...I've been hunting for 4 yrs coming up April...all gold found within this radius..dirt and water, 25 gold/plat rings and 3 big gold chains...I know nothing of the technical aspects of diff machines being "better" for chains over others...I have a F70 and the AtPro...both good mid range machines. 14hz or so freq....and like I said, I HUNT for chains, I dont give a tinkers cuss about old silver coins, so my set up parameters and hunting style differ from those that do...I cant stress enough the FOCUS required to hunt chains...theres a few posters on Findmall that really knock the stink out of gold chains and bracelets above average that I follow and learn from...

Anybody with decent skills will not miss a ring..agreed? Gold chains are a different matter...I bet theres a monster chain within 10 miles of your house that has seen a few coils, maybe two.....just nobody took the time to evaluate that signal..I dont hunt the chain as much as I hunt the wearer...you go and key on who wears big gold chains and hunt THEM and their patterns..you know what I'm saying?.

You watch people, get an idea of the kind of person in your area that wears a gold chain, their travel patterns, habits and hobbies and hunt THEM on the hopes they lose one...very small odds..lots of people wear gold rings..very few wear gold chains and actually lose them, so it narrows down your hunting pattern and thought process immensely....you know what I'm saying?

You want a fun excersize? keep an eye out for anybody who wears a gold chain as you are going about your daily life...who cares about the tiny ones women wear? You are hunting big mans gold, so proceed accordingly ..

I've heard several locals tell of heavy mens gold chains lost at area soccer fields.I was even asked to find one in a college soccer field only to discover they had a shallow system of steel sprinkler pipes in the ground, so it was impossible to metal detect for the chain. Heck, my brothers friend lost his gold wedding band along the sidelines of an adult soccer field.Left the ring in his shoe and fergot about it. We went and found it for him, never even got so much as a thankyou ????

Soccer fields are great for gold chains, especially ones played on by international type folks, you find a foreign coin, and buddy, tighten up!...lots of old white guys wear gold chains too...problem is, most of them are sailors or watermen, and dont get to rough housing on the dry much...I do hunt the black boy drops, of that I cannot lie, or anywhere some active stuff where fists or fights bullets fly...
