Any opinions on Whites 24K for micro jewelry hunting?

Its got some features I like. Iron cancel, blocking hot rocks and iron falsing on the high side. Ground balance spreading.

What do you think?

Mike I know your asking about the 24k but I just thought I would mention the Makro Gold Racer for micro jewelry hunting.
I had one for a while and it always amazed me all the tiny little trinkets and such I would find with that thing.
Even with the big 15” coil. It was a great Detector and it did surprisingly well hunting for Old coins too, considering the high frequency it runs at.

I’m not a jewelry hunter, but if I was, I would definitely consider that machine for the job.

I'm sure the 24 will pound on the low foil / low iron range as that's where the micro jewelry is on any detector.

I found quite a bit of small micro jewelry last year with my f75 with the stock coil in the tot lots as that's the only place I dig the low iron / low foil targets.

I don't have the time to dig those low iron / low foil targets on the trashy park's
I'm sure the 24 will find the jewelry.

I had the Gold Kruzer for awhile. Micro mode went deep for me in my mild ground. With the 4x7.5 coil it hit my 10" dime. It was noisy but useable. I found a 10k gold earring and a 14k gold chain & pendant using the 4x7.5 coil in fresh water. All metal mode was very smooth. I only hunted in micro mode and all metal.

I have an XP ORX coming. Looks like a very smooth running detector and would be great for micro jewelry. I will be getting the waterproof kit for it.

The Gold Kruzer has already been eliminated. While it has an operating mode called Micro, its not really a micro jewelry detector, which is very surprising considering the operating frequency. You would think that would be one of its attributes. I guess people were too busy doing nail board tests with it to verify its jewelry abilities. I take that back... I did see a video where it was detecting small jewelry; closed loop earrings and small rings and big bunched chains.

Back to Whites 24K, The extra coil voltage and boost mode audio selections look good. It also has a 6 concentric coil which would be helpful. I'm going to continue to look at it.
