My son purchased an AT Pro International a year or so ago.
Since then he melted down a bunch of gold flakes we collected from Slaty Creek and it weighs 1.1 grams.
I put the piece on the ground and the machine doesn't pick it up very well , even with it on full sensitivity.
The piece is ball shaped and if I wave it over the top of the coil , it beeps okay , but when trying to detect it it won't.
I tried burying the piece an inch under the dirt and it took me half an hour to find it using classifier.
I sort of got it lost when digging and could not find it in my dirt pile.
Could it be because it is spherical or because it is melted down or is it I suck or is it not meant for small things and only finds large.
Even when it did beep , I think the number was about 40 , which is on the verge of iron.
I thought gold would sing at around 60 or more.
It costs more than a gold monster and I seen a bloke who finds tenth of a gram bits religiously and routinely with his monster.
Anyone can enlighten me please ?
