Just wondering if there is much difference between the tones, numbers (respectively), etc., with either the Infinium or ATP when it comes to gold and lead? I am finding pieces of lead to practice with much more readily available than similarly sized pieces of gold.
for me that question would be hard to answer because of all the variables involved. I use an Infinium (have an AT Gold being delivered Thursday) and with lead, at about 6 - 8 inches, I notice a kind of short light jingle musical sound at the end of each tone. This would be with lead in the 2 - 3 gram range using the 8 in. mono. With gold the tone would be a more clean more compressed sound. Now, having said that, I also notice the amount of moisture in the soil can change the sound of lead and of course the sound of lead will be different if shallow.
I would like to add that I took my Infinium to a local gold producing stream the other day to search for gold. The gold here is known for being fine (1.5 grain and down) gold so I went with the intention of finding lead. Knowing these two metals travel together I felt maybe I could find a crack full of lead and score some color. Well, I did and If I could attach a photo here I would show you what I found. I think I broke a record because I found 15 small pickers and some dust. The biggest picker was 6 grains! Maybe I should call them clinker's but anyway I was surprised!
