Thomas Dankowski's Metal Detecting Forum

Well done Tom,on the grillz there quite rare in Europe, first for me in 10 years. Are you hunting beaches on the west coast,I see they had some tremendous erosion.. Hopefully we get some massive sand movement in the Mediterranean, it's quite rare to loose 2m sand..but with the el nino currants, who ...

Here's a nice spooky find for Halloween...rang up 16 ,I believe by the colour 22k.5g

I've just got to a new beach an there's 100s of target's in fist size rocks in 80cm of water,I have the standard curved edge scoop..1 in 10 target's I just can't extract the rocks,
Anyone have a good solution, I'm in the Mediterranean, where the tide does not go out more than 20cm..thanks mike

Happy to see you back Tom,an helping with the intricacies of gold hunting, I have continued practicing ZEN an the art of micro gold hunting. Haha. My year end was 72 pieces of less than 1.5g..here's some 2026 pushing the limit of micro gold detection.. 2026-3-24 19-21-21.jpg 2026-3-24 19-21-54.jpg 2...

Check my photo on page 12...50% of those targets are
VDI 1/10..

A couple of things I been thinking about.. 1..does the manticore know it's an object with a curved side, If so is it related to the waves sent into the sand,an do you know how many per second.. 2. In high magnetite sand, why does the round object go to the upper most limit of the ferrous line,rather...

I love the extreem focus that's needed,to hunt micro-gold in moderate black sand,an extreem Mediterranean salt water. I have progressed to sensitivity 24,the first 20 mins of hunting,I have to settle my swing,otherwise I have 3 types of falsing, bobing coil,extreem SALT,BLACK sand an in some areas, ...

I was lucky to dig over 60 pieces of micro gold in the first 6 months.an noticed a shorter/softer sound on the micro gold..sorry I cannot explain further,it's something that just clicked over time...

To add to what Tom said,after 500 hours with prospecting audio,I could hear subtle differences in the sound,that tells me it's gold or silver..I like Tom am not very good musicaly, all I'm wanting is a sharp tone on micro gokd..something the nox never had,the nox was good down to 1.5/2g gold....

I will have to consult VICTOR SCHAUBERGER the
Master observer of water an vortex.
