DarkSilicate Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Not intending to be disrespectful of chondrites but I have been looking for a small piece to use as a throw-down so I could see how my Minelab 800 sounds off when it is over one. Today while in a little antique shop, I got the chance to visit with Blaine Reed for a few minutes. In t alking with him, he said he had a few pieces on consignment there. I was immediately taken by this little Gao thinking it would be perfect for a throw-down being a H5. Don't worry, I will take the best of care of the little stony but it should work to let me know what my detector reads over a chondrite.

DarkSilicate Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 I ran the 800 over my Gao. It came up as a -9, Couldn't get much of a signal more than 3 inches above it. Without the all metal on, nothing. I switched it to Gold 1 and 2 and that is where it sounds off the best. On park, it barely buzzed sort of like a hot rock. Guess I will have to resurrect my old Gold Bug II. The earphone jack is messed up on it and the plastic bolt for the coil has gone missing. : ( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
