Fired up my Whites DFX after i swung by and picked up a piece of my pyrite. Folks had a discussion as to whether pyrite would set a detector off. Didn't switch coils around. left the 12x10 SEF on. First put it in beach and jewelry mode and almost touching the coil you could hear a little something. Put it in stock prospecting mode and my piece of pyrite depending on the way it passed over the coil ran anywhere from a negative 9 to a plus 12. So pyrite,at least the piece i used sets a detector off.:?:

Interesting. Just tried a large chunk of pyrite with my F2 but didn't get a response no matter what settings were used. Would've thought it had enough iron in it to show up as something, but the F2 acted as if it wasn't there. :?:
