[QUOTE="UnderEmployedGeo, post: 590813, member: 20002"] ... But not gold, yet! I've started to notice that anything on a -5 to -7 showing as quite deep is usually ferrous - old nails typically. Then really rusty stuff can do positive numbers if it's shallow, which is frustrating. The weirdest one is charcoal! Yes fully burnt wood from the bushfires gets a signal, almost always 0 or 1. Aluminium cans go 16+ My 24k gold ring at about 15cm went 11-ish so that's the sort of thing I'm looking for... Point is, the 600 works, but yet to see it find gold. As I understood it, the 600 is the same as the 800, without "gold mode" but that "park 2" tweaked a little is essentially gold mode. Is save yourself the money and just get the 600, or save pennies and get a 5000 dollar detector... [/QUOTE]
