Rock specking A DETECTOR PLATE would be usefull

[choiceshot2]

Hi fellow hunters and collectors , I have a real need for a Detector Plate for home or on site

I am trying to emulate the old diggers identifying gold bearing rock , I have had some success in specking , going to old mine sites checking out mullock heaps that had not been crushed. , I take interesting pieces home and crush them , maybe one piece out of 20 samples I find some gold in them, if I had a detector plate in a fixed horizontal position like a little table, would make life a little easier , my ideal is a super sensitive detector plate that can be amplified either my volume or my Indercator, I have a GPX 5000 NOT GOOD ENOUGH have a SD2300 closer but not quite good enough , I can visualize a 1 to 2" rock which I consider has possible gold in it , pushed across the plate , letting off a single if having some form of metal in it. anyone out there have any idea's , does any of the Detector company make such an thing! below is interesting rocks I collect , then roughly broken up , then I place these in a dolly pot , I have a larger rock crusher but never seem to get gold from this , as you can see some sample gold I get from these rocks , these make a noise but others where the gold is not visible don't

Sounds like you need a screamer VLF to me for going over the quartz. A Goldbug, GMT or a M/lab Terra 705 with an 18 khz coil. There is also a little handheld, like a pinpointer, who I think is made by Falcon which I hear is deadly on checking quartz. All good for tiny and virtually fine gold shows in rock. Of course they,d howl on course samples. Personally id go one of those to sample quartz.

What area are you from , you can try my GB2 with the 6 inch coil . ?

Falcon MD20 is probably the go here, no plate though it uses a probe like a pinpointer. Still may not be effective with larger stones, but from what I've seen of them they will pick up on very small metallic particles if you get the probe in the right spot
