This past saturday I had a chance to try my md on a quartz stone that was supposed to have gold in it. However I believe it was mostly pyrite with some gold mixed in it.
I put my md in all metal mode turned up the sensitivity then moved the disc across the stone. Not a sound from the md. Now I know it will pick up small gold rings as iv already tested it out on a small 14k ring. But I guess it could be a filler metal that triggers the md on gold rings, I don't really know. I would have thought that pyrite would have been detected easier then gold. Am I wrong?
what's your guys experience with pyrite?
