what i want to know is will it pick up on gold if i got lucky enough to find some underground ??????

I don't know of a metal detector that doesn't signal gold, but some are much better at it than others. I have done a little research on this and I am going to buy a White's Coin Master Pro. It appears that most of top line companies can get the job done so it's up to what features you desire and the Coin Master fits that bill for me. http://whiteselectronics.com/product.html

I have an expensive metal detector, but I have heard great things about the Coinmaster Pro. I think that it is a great detector and it will pick up just about anything. I really wish they would have had one like it when I first started detecting. My first detector was around that price range, but the coinmaster has WAY more features than that one. Technology has really come a long way. Gold is a lucky thing to come across. I've never found any and I've only found one ring and it was just a gold plated copper ring. Most of the gold plating had worn off from being in the ground. Just remember that when looking for gold rings you may have to dig TONS of pull tabs from pop cans. Gold will signal just like gold rings. For every couple thousands of those you dig you might find one ring :l

I personally enjoy whites and I think they give more bang for the buck, but every has their own brands.

I've got a question: Can a metal detector still work with reliability through snow and ice? I just bought a metal detector on Black Friday...its a cheap one but worth trying out...but since then we have just had a winter storm and the temperatures dropped to remain below freezing and today below zero...so do I need to wait until Spring to use it or is it good to go now...
