Pinpointer question

[isolation]

I was wondering if a pinpointer would be a valid tool for running over material that has been tipped out of a sieve to check for any small gold nuggets/speccies?

Would they also be capable of detecting gold inside a small piece of quartz, say golf ball size?

me personally i do this when i run my hibanker, having said that if the gold is too small it may not pick it up

To reliably detect sub-gram nuggets/flakes/speccies you probably need to look at one of these: http://falconmetaldetectors.com/

I have a Falcon MD20 on order, should be here pre Xmas.
I hope to take it out for a run over the break and hopefully show some results.

Thanks guys... I already run the SDC over our tailings, so maybe I'll stick to that.
I was thinking about a Christmas present for the girl Thought it might be something portable she could check each sieve with as she's panning, and check some of the rocks she likes to collect as we're walking along
