Rr detecting in close proximity, reduction of the GAIN control (counterclockwise) will reduce interference

INTRODUCTION

Although any metal detector capable of balancing or neutralizing the interference from ground mineralization

is capable of detecting gold nuggets in the field, a detector specifically designed to accomplish this

goal will always be the detector of choice. Therefore, even though all of White's G.E.B. units, such as the

4900, 5900, 6000, EAGLE, or SPECTRUM, can be set to find gold nuggets effectively, none of them will

do it as simply or proficiently as the new GOLDMASIBR VI SAT.

The reason for this is the care which was taken to accommodate the particular conditions encountered

while gold prospecting. Since gold is usually found in terrain abundant with iron mineralization, it was

necessary to design a ground balancing circuit which could indicate and then prevent overloading on the

iron ground. This was accomplished by incorporating a new overload alert, 40: 1 ratio ground balancing

pots, and White's legendary patented G.E.B. (Ground Exclusion Balance) system. This combination alerts

the user when ground overload takes place and then the operator can smoothly and simply balance the

mineralization with high resolution controls. All of this allows the use of the maximum level of GAIN

compatible with the ground mineralization. The GOLDMASIBR V I SAT thus has power to spare when

the conditions will permit its use.

The second factor to consider was that most of the nuggets available to the prospector were very small in

size; some even in the sub-grain category. It is a fact that these very tiny targets were most easily detected

by using a high transmitting frequency and so White's chose to transmit at 50 kHz. At this frequency, the

GOLDMASIBR VI SAT detects even the smallest nuggets while effectively cancelling ground mineralization.

The GOLDMASIBR V /SAT elliptical Long-Scan loop enhances the high frequency detection of small

nuggets by providing a large window of detection. This "stretched" center of the loop increases the area of

detection for very tiny and very deep targets. These important features are topped off with the essential

SAT mode of operation. This "Self-Adjusting Threshold" or "Auto-tune" is now variable and is at the

heart of small nugget detection. Fast and extreme changes in ground mineralization require ultra-fast

threshold maintenance in order to prevent the loss of the tiny signals produced by these small targets. Fast

S.A.T. allows the signal to poke through the interference of heavy mineralization such as Hot Rocks and

black sand. Slower speeds are recommended for less extreme grounds were mineralization and "Hot

Rocks" do not interfere with the normal steady threshold.

Finally, the extra plus the GOLDMASIBR VI SAT provides is the inclusion of a visual and audio identification

of probable iron trash. Productivity is increased when more good targets and fewer trash targets

are dug and the only trash items that should be excluded are iron or "ferrous" targets. The Iron I.D.

circuitry in the GOLDMASIBR VI SAT is designed to only identify iron when it is sure that the target IS

iron. If the target is too small or too deep to be sure of, the meter or audio alert will identify it as a good

target and thus possibly a nugget. In this way, most iron trash will be eliminated without the loss of gold

nuggets. When in doubt, the I.D. circuit will say to dig, and that is the way it should be. In cases of

extreme mineralization, this feature may not be effective. In these instances, follow the rule of digging all

signals as you would with other metal detector models.

Good Luck and Good Prospecting!
