Chris, geo chemistry is a very interesting field of science for understanding how deposits are generatated, how they evolve with time and what to look for.
Any book dealing with the theme might be good. Prospectors saying "Gold Rides An Iron Horse" is a resumé of many fascinating and complex geo chemical proceces describing the transformation of iron sulfides.

One book that resumes pretty well introduces to the theme:
Ore Deposit Geology by John Ridley

It not only handles gold, but many types of deposits and was, at least for me, introductive and instructive for determining which areas and rocks to consider closer.
If there are better books, I'm interested.
I'm still looking for an understandable book that handles in particular the chemistry of the gold-ironsulfides relationship and its chemical evolution in time.

Nice tip Chris, I'm now going to re check a lot of the pieces in my garden. The pieces that gave no signal on auto settings! Cheers

if its a 2nd gen gold monster hold the discrimination button down for a few seconds the coil on the 1:20 display will flash. (fast track feature ). ground balance when needed. with this.

Chris & Gadzee you guy’s “rock” ‼️

[PaulMccormack-ttgx]

The gold monster ground balance system works independently of the auto / manual sensitivity setting .

[thecanadianhillbilly]

find a plastic cover for a trailer receiver hitch, should fit on that Chris and keep the dust in

Great vid bro! Wish I knew you were in the 'wick, I'd have brought my monster for a play too! I've been chasing my first specimen and totally forgot about the creswick bush 30 mins from my place 😳. One thing I'd add to that for folks that are starting out is that the pesky ferrous/non-ferrous bar on the monster should only ever be used as a guide, and a half blind and deaf one at that 😅 its handy but I've had metal signals turn into straight up gold in the scoop and vice versa.... some of the best advice I heard, albeit a bit late was cover the meter on the screen in black electrical tape til' ya learn the tone 😅 I never did but I definitely took it on board! Peace bro hope to catch ya out our way one day soon ✌️🤙

Now thats a hot tip. Cheers man i only onvested in a gold monster recently and honestly have no idea what im doing with it hahaha

[full-panprospecting]

Ahh man that unicorn cartoon is hilarious "they stole my kidney" 😂😂

[βιζζγΚιδ]

Auto 1 and 2 are auto sensitivity not ground balance. It always auto ground balances no matter what sensitivity you are in. The monster has a 24 bit micro processor that's always running

Thanks Chris for that valuable tip! Always a wealth of information and willing to share within our community of prospectors 👌

[thstateprospecting]

Yup love that setting on the gold monster don’t tell anyone but that setting can also be used to find black sand concentrations on creeks and rivers. (Not sure about cassiterite since there’s not much here in the USA) thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

[OurGlobalAffects]

great hack! plz elaborate for us beginners?
what is the brand of your rock crusher? how did u power it in the field?

[MrStrobey]

Chris: Great tip. I always attack hot rocks but must have missed a lot as I tend to run on auto 1 (11) Going to adjust to your great tip. Thank you

[Acolyte]

Clever Sherlock! I'd never have known! But I have an old metal detector so will try it this weekend with my daughters. Many thanks wise man and best regards to Gadzy!

[Tropicsca]

good to know because i want to detect near an old gold mine as well

[RICDirector]

Love it! Say, on the halo effect thing....does detectability vary with purity? Like, does 24k detect more loudly than 10k?

[gerardskanes]

that new toy will make it so much easier for hard rock

[wiseguydigsgold]

Hey Chris, that is a great hack! thanks for sharing with us. If you ever want to come out to California and have a dig around, let me know. You have an open invitation. Be safe out there.
