most inpressive

I have been testing my Ifinium on some gold samples that I have. I have a 1.1g nugget and a small flake that is probably .1g. The 8" coil seems to be better than the 10x14 dd. I can detect the .1g flake when it is basically on the 8" coil. This is more than I expected actually. I took the 1.1g and tested it in the are at about 3" not good. Then I took it outside and after clearing a patch of ground of all other metal. I buried the nugget at 5", loud and clear, 7" loud and clear, 10" not so loud but still there. Then I tried 12" and it was still detected. I am really impressed. It may not find the small stuff but it will find the rest at a very respectable distance. Cant wait to hit the gold fields. My gold master 2 will detect the same nugget to about 5".

Spent 10 miniuts trying to find a .35g lead ball the other day. Nice strong signal. i dont know how deep it was but im guessing about 3"

Thanks for that info. I'm curious to know how mineralized your ground is and what settings you were using?

I cant tell you how mineralized it is. The infinium was in fixed tracking min disc. and just audiable tresh. The lead ball was a very faint signal. I dont know how deep it was. I spent the weekend in my brothers gold mine and found some nuggets. I had both the infinium and my Gold master 2. No gold was found with the infinium but I did find 6 small pieces with the gold master 2. Ranging from .1g to .4g. I am going to try again next time to see if I can find some bigger stuff.

Must be pretty mineralized to be in a gold mining area. Good luck with finding the larger pieces and keep us posted.

I was supprised I didnt pickup the .4g nugget. Im pretty sure I passed my coil over it. BTW I have been using the 8" mono coil. The infinium will pick up the nuggets in the air, I guess I just didnt get over any of the larger ones. I am wanting to try the smallest coil to see how it works.
