[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 321952, member: 3149"] Discrimination can never be 100% reliable, especially when dealing with low conductive targets (most common gold), and mineralised soils. Mbasko, yes you are spot on. The idea behind the bar graph, (some machines use a % confidence) is that the detector is giving you an honest appraisal, and it's still up to the user to decide what to do with that information. Gold in ironstone is another tricky one, as you have one target with both conductive and magnetic properties. Moneybox, thanks for the report but one clarification I'd like to point out is you say "when the bar goes to the right it's gold". This sound like the holy grail gold only detector everyone dreams of :cool: When the bar goes to the right, the detector simply thinks the target is non-ferrous. In the getting started guide, Minelab say "high gold chance". [/QUOTE]
