When you encounter dense trash while prospecting, its important to be able to use your detector's discrimination reliably. This video explains the secrets of how you can get accurate readings on your discrimination settings and be sure that what your detector says is trash is trash and what is not iron is not iron. This will help you find more gold.

Great info as always ! Ive been using my discrimination on my monster ! Found plenty of lead nails square & modern , boot tacks & im sure you know lol no nuggets yet for me but soon enough , just gotta keep swinging!

@randallalan4221 5 лет назад

Good tips Chris....I don't have the GM1000 but do have an older VLF gold detector with a discriminator that I can apply these tips to. Once while hunting a trash dump near the mining camp I found a button of silver that was mistakenly tossed out with the trash.

I hope so too.

@JoshuaJamez Год назад

Thanks for all your instructional videos. They’re very helpful. Here’s an interesting fact: the streets of Heaven are said to be made of gold that is so pure, it’s like transparent glass. Wow!

@ChrisRalph Год назад

I figure its a different kind of gold from the type we deal with.

@timsutherland6731 4 года назад

Those trash targets could be covering up the sound of a nugget underneath. Just something to think about. I run a GPX 5000 and run it with no discrimination. I bought your book and think it is awesome! Well done!!

Chris would you talk about detectors and hot rocks as far as settings and coil differences.I have a Monster 1000. Thank You

@ChrisRalph 4 года назад

I will do a future video on that sometime in the next few weeks.

@pattaylor4407 4 года назад

Would the goldbug pro work nearly as well as the gold monster 1000 in these dumps? I found this video really informative! Thank you.

@ChrisRalph 4 года назад

No, it would not work as well. The problem is that most hard rock gold is small and wiry or mossy. The GB Pro is less sensitive than the GM1000 and will miss gold when used in a mine dump.

@billw26 4 года назад

I have used my Gold Bug II on a few occasions and the signal on gold (a gold ring) seems to sound more sharp than iron or hot rocks. Am I imagining this? BTW your Fists Full of Gold has been of massive help. Thanks!

@ChrisRalph 4 года назад

Glad you like the book, the signal on non-ferrous targets like lead or gold is different from ferrous targets like iron or even hot rocks. However because Iron, non-ferrous and hot rocks all come in every possible size, its really hard to use that difference in ear based discrimination.

@dumpbear0 4 года назад

I have found with my GB 2 that a gold target sounds as a "zip-zip" while iron or magnetite will sound as a "wa-wa". Give it a try side by side and tell me if I'm crazy or special,lol.

@338bigguns 2 года назад

I've watched both Australian and American prospectors talking about the gold monster 1000. In Australia they don't have the same amount of mineralization and trash that you have here in the USA. I guess it's because the I don't care factor comes into play. Australia has most of its detectable gold in dirt, sometimes in sand and rock. So it's easier to find. Here in the good old USA the prospector has to compete with trash and lots of it. The small coil is a great tool for those trashy places. Me, I still use an 11 inch coil. It's how I use this. (BIG SECRET). Anyway MR. Ralph. I find your opinions on this subject to be quite refreshing and your knowledge with the subject of metal detecting comes into line as my own. I've only been metal detecting for about 40 years. I started out in NZ with a garrett GTA X500 which at that time was pretty high tech. I've detected most of the north island, parts of Australia and now the USA. This country and all its trash will screw with your head. 😆

@ChrisRalph 2 года назад

Overall, the Australian goldfields that I prospected had much worse mineralization than is typically found in the US. I've never been to NZ. The US is more trashy, that is true, but there are gold bearing places in OZ with bad trash. I was out detecting and finding gold and trash with the gold Monster and the large coil in California this last weekend.

@robertoconsuegra9921 2 года назад

It comes down...to the Dig it all babyyy 😜😜😜🤪

@ChrisRalph 2 года назад

No. I got places where you'll dig 200 trash to every gold - bet you'll walk away from that.

@keithhaycraft3765 4 года назад

The leather device for sharpening cut throat razors is called a strop.

@keithhaycraft3765 4 года назад

Not actually used for sharpening, mainly used to remove burrs from the blade- sort of fine tuning the edge.

@chriscummings1518 4 года назад

Hi Chris, what do you thing about the Minelab Equinox with multi IQ and its gold mode? Mine has the 6" coil also.

@ChrisRalph 4 года назад

These are good multipurpose machines. Not the most sensitive, not the most resistant to mineralization, but able to do both gold and coin hunting.

@brandonpresto4785 2 года назад

Hi Chris, my brother and I purchased a Minelab G.M.1000 a few months ago. I have a question about when the detector makes a noise but doesn't go either way on the display screen. I started to address what that is when your camera stopped recording. Where you saying that when it does that, that it means it doesn't know and you should dig that? Thank you.

@ChrisRalph 2 года назад

If it gives a beep but no indication of iron or not iron, it is because the signal is too weak to give an indication. This is essentially the same as when it bounces back and forth. The detector simply does not know and you must dig down to get a stronger signal.

@DannyB-cs9vx 2 года назад

Many cameras shut down due to heat. Hot day sitting in the sun can get a camera super hot.

@ChrisRalph 2 года назад

Mine does that with the heat, but I've also found problems with the data card, so I got a new one.

@dfox344 4 года назад

Hi Chris. This is Daniel from San Diego. I like the stand you are using just forward of the display. I think that it would be helpful when setting the machine down. Both my wife and I have GM 1000. Can I get information on where to purchase them. Thank you.

@ChrisRalph 4 года назад

They were made and sold by a friend who lost his home and workshop in the fire that burned down Paradise California a little over a year ago. Glad you enjoyed the video.

@dfox344 4 года назад

@@ChrisRalph Sorry to hear about your friends loss. Thank you for sharing.

@bishoyherballifestyle7879 2 года назад

Hi can I use this detector for all gold like gold coins and silver or is just only gold

@ChrisRalph 2 года назад

It will see all metals.

@bravobob1 4 года назад

A "i dont know signal" could be a ferrous object masking a non ferrous one. If you dig a iffy signal and pull a ferrous object , recheck the hole. Always recheck the hole anyway.

@ChrisRalph 4 года назад

Always re-check the hole, no matter what. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

@HarryHoudiniprospecting 4 года назад

Hi Chris, my advice would be dig everything. Frequently gold and nails lay in the same hole. I have found loads of gold next to rubbish. Plus others have walked away. Cheers HH Australia

@ChrisRalph 4 года назад

And as I said on the video, most of the time dig-it-all is the best way to go. But there are places with very heavy trash where you would be digging more than a hundred pieces of trash for every nugget. The dig-it-all guys just walk away from these places. The discrimination of a good vlf is the other option for intense trash places. Don't know what part of Australia you are in, but my experience in WA was that there are very, very few places with that kind of intense trash.
