arharris56 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 The Falcon MD20 Gold tracker metal detector seems like it would be just the right tool at the right price for detecting gold nuggets. Has any one heard of/used this device ? It would be nice to get some feed back before I plunk down $245 for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I use it along with a gold bug 2 for sorting through mine tailings.Just so you realize its not a replacement for a metal detecter. it's a specialized tool made for tiny gold.Makes for a descent pinpointed also.

DesertNuggets Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Just watched a YouTube video about it. Pretty cool! Would be nice to use on my tailing piles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miner49 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have one, good to test quartz to see if there is any fine gold. Also you can buy a longer handle and earphones on their website. I've used it at times to lower down into deep cracks in bedrock.Miner49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arharris56 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 So If I read the responses here correctly, it is a good tool to have along on a prospecting trip, right ? Does this thing have problems when there is a lot of Iron/blacks and in the area being looked at ?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing8046 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 If it is metal it will sound off there is no discrimination. When you buy it it comes with a card with a tiny piece of gold. It's a great tool how ever you use it! I bought mine for my kids they detect with me and when I have a target they can get in there and find it while I work on another target. Also great for panning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miner49 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Although it doesn't discriminate, once you get a little time with it there are ways to determine differnt responses (you can play with the test card and see). It's in the manual....it's a good tool and worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesertranger Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 i agree with everyone on this. i also use it to check tailings and ore samples. it works well in that way. not that it will replace a detector but the probe design is real handy for sampling and it will detect the tiniest piece. belive me. highdesertranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
