I Got Flour Gold Today By "UN-GROUND BALANCING" My AT MAX:smoke:

[John-Edmonton]

That's right! By un-groundbalancing the MAX. We ground balance our detectors to get them to run smooth and quiet. I set up the MAX to run very unstable........especially to iron. Usually my AT Pro balances in the 80-90 reading. To pick up the iron in the bedrock, I manually set the GB to 20. What a chatterbox...... unless I raised the coil above me, where it ran quiet.

You see, gold is one of the heaviest elements in rivers & creeks, and always settles in crevices, where the water turbulence wont move it, unless it is spring runoff. Black sands both magnetic and non-magnetic also are heavy, and tend to accumulate in the same areas where gold hides. So........find the concentration of iron in the bedrock, and you should be able to find the gold. I did today.

That's pretty cool.

I like gold.

 

[JimmyCT]

Very, very nice! Great tip too!

Nice find on the gold, but buddy says don't be slow with the peanuts or I'll bite you.....does the concentric coil work better with this method than the dd coil?

 

[John-Edmonton]

I don't think that the concentric coil would have any advantage over the DD coil for untuning the coil.

Thanks!

So how much did you end up with in those two vials from the video?

Seems like it may be a bit more profitable then plain old metal/coin detecting...

Although you seem to be pretty good at finding the rings.

I have only found 2 rings in about 5 years and they were both cheap costume jewelry.

Those 2 vials in the video are my total collection of flour gold that I have accumulated over the past 23 years. There is slightly over 1.5 ounces in those by weight. I just keep adding flour gold to those vials as I get it.
