i am a little confused abuot vlf vs. the pi . i bounght a lorenz 2 deep seeker to hunt meteorites , but changed my mind and decided to hunt for nuggets . it does sound on gold pretty good , but the gold has to be fairly big about the size of a small bolt . what is your idea on the advantage or disadvantage of the pi . will the silver content in small nuggets help the pi see it ? i have not been in the field with it yet.

@7troding I'm not familiar with your detector. Remember, meteorites are made up mainly of irons, and mostly nickel. Finding them with a metal detector should be relatively easy if your are in an area where they occur. Gold doesn't occidize or "halo" like iron or nickel, or coins, so you have to work with your detector a little to find little pieces of gold. Try setting your detector to ALL METAL, and work with a small piece of gold placed on a plywood board, covered with a little dirt.

That thing is a monster... Congrads.. How much did it weigh? I never new that a gold bug was so good. Im just trying to get into detecting. I live in Northern california and the old timers found a 54 lb nugget like 10 minuts from my house. so im trying to find some gold..

@jessgo33 That's a 3.2 gram nugget(50 grains) We have some good sized gold on the claim, it's just hard digging to get to it. You should be in some pretty good gold country in CA. When you get your detector, give a holler if you have any more questions on detecting or prospecting. Buddy
