does this metal detector have a discrimator on it?

There are two knobs. One on the left turns it on and that is the sensitivity knob. The knob on the right is the discrimination knob.

if your in a known gold area, and you know how to use this detector it will. not flakes but pickers and nuggets. make sure TO ground balance

This will find anything metal and the depth it will detect may be enough to get the job done but you will look silly crawling around on your knees with something about as round as quarter. Get a cheap detector, even a used one. It is never cost prohibitive to get the right tool for the job

This particular listing does not. It is just the metal detector. However, there are accessories available for purchase separately.

Not really. Its not designed to do so. It may but there is no way to tell if it is wiring or something else. The instructions give a warning that what it detects could be a stud, pipe, wire or other objects

You can use it with any metal detector, you use it once you locate your object with your garrett. The pinpointer just helps locate the object once you have your hole

The pinpointer has nothing to do with the main metal detector. It is used after you have dug up some soil and are sifting through looking for little stuff that you can't see right away. I separate my soil into piles and go over each with the main coil. Never needed a pinpointer, yet. Saw one (brand unknown) in use in some cruddy sandy soil that was giving a signal but couldn't see anything. It turned out to be a .22 bullet. Had to practically touch the bullet with the pinpointer probe to get a signal. Could have found it with a sifter (much cheaper).

The unit is undetectable to older VG2 radar detector detectors. It probably IS detectable to the newer Spectre Stalker Elete radar detector detectors.

Yes it does. It looks nice and gives you a good sense of how far away an object is especially if you test it out and gauge distance yourself first. Hope this helps.

Yes it will find jewelry but the detector will have a hard time differentiating the jewelry with the rest of the metal in your house. Such as nails, screws, pipes etc. Good luck

good question. It is difficult to find gold with any detector. Gold reflects on the same frequency as beer tabs and nickels depending on the size of the gold. Sometimes it reflects on even lower frequencies like iron. The result is that the detector will find the gold, but you won't know if you are getting gold or a beer tab until you dig it up. Of course, it will normally be a beer tab.

Yes it will find the white gold ring, lower the discrimination level to (Irn3). Read the manual to set a custom discrimination level, you can also try it with program 1. This is a great detector for the money, take it from someone who has $1500 detectors. But you must read the manual several times!!!

If your metal detector has a 1/4 inch plug yes. If it does not, a 1/4in to 1/8in adapter is all you need to fix it!

Yes it will Sally , It will detect any kind of metal and it would be very helpful if you had another platinum ring or a piece of platinum to see what numeric value the detector would read it as .

go to Kellyco metal detectors , this is one awesome machine I have found targets at 3 feet with this guy in all metal mode !!!

It detects gold, silver and iron and gives an approximate depth notation so you know if you are looking at something close to the surface or deeper. It has a headphone jack to allow more accurate listening, also silent operation which is important in public areas. You can tune it to rule out metals you don't want to pick up like aluminum or copper, for instance. The different tones, once you learn them, help to distinguish between the different metals as well.

This detector "comes with" several features not found in less expensive models. It has a 'pin pointer' feature that is useful. Study the manual.I purchased a Garrett "Pro Pointer" which I use in conjunction with the detector. Use the included earphones.
