I Got Flour Gold Today By "UN-GROUND BALANCING" My AT MAX

That's right! By un-groundbalancing the MAX. We ground balance our detectors to get them to run smooth and quiet. I set up the MAX to run very unstable........especially to iron. Usually my AT Pro balances in the 80-90 reading. To pick up the iron in the bedrock, I manually set the GB to 20. What a chatterbox...... unless I raised the coil above me, where it ran quiet.

You see, gold is one of the heaviest elements in rivers & creeks, and always settles in crevices, where the water turbulence wont move it, unless it is spring runoff. Black sands both magnetic and non-magnetic also are heavy, and tend to accumulate in the same areas where gold hides. So........find the concentration of iron in the bedrock, and you should be able to find the gold. I did today. :)

Awesome video. But since the machine is always chatty due to being "unbalanced," it would have been really helpful if you had demonstrated what it sounded like when you found that hot spot.

Also, does this technique work well for rivers and such that don't have black sand?

If there is no iron in a river (doubtful?) the unbalanced detector shouldn't pick up on the iron which doesn't exist. Even the magnets in my water scoop find lots of magnetic black sand in freshwater lakes.
