can the pinpointer detected gold in a pan of gravel

Yes it can as I tried it when I first got it- I took pickers and some flour gold and mixed in with concentrate I had gathered from the stream. It does have to touch or be probably 1/32 to 1/8 " of the gold. I guess it was worth buying, BUT I always wonder what or how much better the white or some other brand works at the 100.00 to 250.00 range work in comparison???

No this only helps pinpoint a target once a metal detector has found it. However the Garrett pro ATX metal detector is extremely lightweight it only weighs about maybe 5 pounds

Sorry, metal detectors cannot find loose diamonds . Since you have and idea where it is, use a flour strainer to sift the soil.

A gemstone? I don't really think so unless you are cutting a microslide of a mineral ore, for that kind of augmented view you should use a Stereoscopic Microscope :)

Definatly, this works very well at finding metal. It does not work so well at detecting the DIFFERANCE between metals. We normally find old steel nails even just tiny rusted pieces of them as far as 6" below compact ground. My guess is you will be looking for steel posts just under the leaves, the key is you will need to pass the detector DIRECTLY OVER THE post you are looking for. Its not going to tell you "if your close", a metal object on the ground within an inch of the outer ring will not set it off it must pass over the object to set it off. Hope this helps

No. The detector will pick up nails and any metal in the floor. You might want to look into the Garrett pro pointer. Good luck

It detects ferrous metal, not wood. If the stud has a screw or other metal, which it should have attaching the tile backer board to the stud, it will locate the screw or nail. I'm also very impressed with this product.

It will detect the metal but it's difficult to pinpoint location of metal with the wand.

It will find every spec of metal in the ground. All you will be able to tell is if it is iron or not. It also dose not come with a protective coil cover and Amazon doesn't sell them. If gold is your primary goal it will pull double duty for treasure but it will be like riding a bike down the interstate. slow and you find every bump. If you are after treasure first gold second maybe look at the garrett at models. I believe they are water proof.

My Bounty Hunter pin pointer can detect metals from 3/4" to 1" away from it's tip. But that is only after carefully fine tuning the sensitivity at the on-off knob. If you happen to touch the knob after adjustment, you stand the chance of knocking it out of adjustment and will have to start all over again. Bottom line is it's less expensive than the others on the market and it suits my needs, but it requires the user to perform sensitivity adjustment before use.

No, it is detectable. Please use only where it is allowed. There is another model which is untraceble

If it is a small item it will need to almost touch it .larger items it will detect it around 1 maybe 2 inches away .

We have used the pinpointer in holes with water in them, the pointer has worked fine. We have used it in when raining works fine. If you drop it in water I really don't know. I feel if you let it dry out I feel it would still work. We have used ours in mud and water filled holes and works great

If close enough, it will alert to metallic presence. Not the best choice thou for searching larger areas, as you must be very close to the object you're searching for.

Yes it will work for that. I use it to look at coin dates and detail and also to see if jewelry is 14 k or sterling silver.

Gold is gold regardless of the form..... But any way the answer is yea it will detect nuggets.....

I have found gold jewelry with it, but have not had the chance to look for raw nuggets. As far as easily, no gold is easily found, but if the coil goes over it, the machine will let you know. If it was easy everyone would do it! Don't quit your day job haha! Great machine for the price!
