Since King Totalot was unable to totlot hunt with my new T Compadre due to weather conditions since KT received it, He decided to conduct an air test relative to small gold. KT has a vial with small gold nuggets ...largest one about the size of a paper matchhead...that is used in His work to show the public what native natural gold looks like. Both these items were placed on an asphalted parking lot.
Anywho the results are in and as told by several Forum members, the Tesoro does hit on small gold...for the ring...it hits at 7.5 inches. It is a relatively large item being size 12. The nuggets were kept within the glass vial and hit solid at 2 inches...in the all metal mode for the Compadre.
Having previously done this same test with the BH Tracker IV and having it NOT hit on the gold nuggets at any distance, this is a great improvement and suggests if tiny gold is in the upper two inches of a given totlot, that KT now has a chance of finding it! BTW, the Tracker did hit solid on the gold ring also at 7.5 inches...not to knock it for finding rings.
