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