will it detect gold pieces in water and sand?

Yes it will detect gold jewelry, gold bars and coins. The DD coil and shaft is water proof but not the head or control box.. Some of the gold items show up in the mid range tone ... So you should pretty much dig every target it detects in that range.... Although beverage pull tabs and gold rings sound the same in this detectors ring tone. I've found 6 gold rings and 1 gold earring at the beach in the sand all in the mid tone range...Best of luck !John C.

The coil is waterproof. Yes it will detect gold pieces in freshwater, but if you slip and the control box gets wet it will ruin the circuits. This machine will not work very well at all in salt water. It is fine in normal dry sand as long as the underlying salt water table is far enough away, more than a foot or two. The problem with finding gold with any metal detector is that is registers and sounds very similar, if not identical to aluminum trash. If the trash is irregular in shape and not symmetrical, you can hear this, but there is a lot of trash that sounds the same. If by gold pieces, you mean gold coins, $20 gold coins register like US dimes or quarters, and $5 coins register lower than pennies. Typically mens gold wedding bands register like pulltabs, large class rings like newer pennies, and women's tiffany style rings really low like foil...

yes it should have no worries finding a gold ring - these Delta's are a very underated metal detector

The metal detector will work fine in all terrains, the only things that will mess with it are areas that re high in metal content. Water puddles might not work real well either.

I have this same unit and use it in the south florida area. It does have Navionics gold and accurate depths from what I can tell. Very happy with this unit on my skiff.

Yes if the surface of your water is moving. But as for a shimmering mode, it does not have that setting.

You can use it in salt water and on the beach, BUT it does not react well. The detector picks up the mineralization from the salt, and you will hear a constant chatter. If you are only going to be detecting beaches, I suggest looking for a beach detector.

I suppose it will measure the water sample but not speciffically the mix. Just the soil, I dont think it works.

Yes, it detects rebars, and I think nails. Please check the deep and the minimum wide range of the tool.Regards and good luck

You could also get a handheld metal detector, and use a wire brush to brush the boards. . you also need to lookout for rocks, dirt, or other small dense objects

it detects all sort of metals, gold can be detected if not far buried beneath the ground. i did research on what i had purchased and it gave me some great insight on how to set it at different levels to obtain gold, nickle and silver, good luck.

We have never found gold yet so it is hard to tell you. Using my wedding band it reacts well but sounds the same as many other metals so it is hard to distinguish.

I've used the AT Pro since September 2013..I've used it on the beaches here in Oahu and found all kinds of stuff.(pull tabs, bottle caps, coins, nails, fishing hooks and weights etc.) It's pretty simple to use once you've viewed the dvd a couple of times. I have not found any gold rings yet, but I did find a Gold earring post. I've been reading and comparing detectors since owning the AT Pro and my opinion, the Garrett ATX sounds like a superior detector and it can be used in salt and fresh water. It also is excellent for nugget detecting. See Youtube Garrett ATX versus the Minelab 2000.... Garrett is 1/2 the price....well just watch and you be the judge.

It detects gold very well! I lost my wedding band deep in a huge pile of shredded leafy mulch. It took awhile to find it, but when I got near it, it sang out like a banshee.

It detects gold, silver and iron and gives an approximate depth notation so you know if you are looking at something close to the surface or deeper. It has a headphone jack to allow more accurate listening, also silent operation which is important in public areas. You can tune it to rule out metals you don't want to pick up like aluminum or copper, for instance. The different tones, once you learn them, help to distinguish between the different metals as well.

No, I suggest much more advanced metal detector. For this o e to detect. Anything the object had to literally

Sorry for delay -I was overseas, and had to test. I used my 14K wedding ring, and the scanner could pick it up from about 1" away. I suppose it would matter where you lost it, but it will detect.

it works very well with gold and gems ,,, but yes it will go until your down to the last grains of sand if you just let it run flake, flower,wire gold it is very good at getting out
