Gold Mountain Technologies GMT 1650
From the time VLF detectors pretty much made the old 100 khz TR's obsolete I searched for one that would get at least get close to what the TR's could do in areas saturated with nails and other small ferrous trash. I believed, and still do, that more good finds are missed because of target masking than because of how deep they are, and wanted a detector that would give me a shot at recovering at least some of the masked coins, jewelry and relics. I had all but given up until I read a post on the defunct A&S Tesoro forum in 1997 by Monte Von Berry in response to a question about target separation in ferrous trash. Below are the relavent parts of the post he made.
" The best I have ever used was probably the Gold Mountain GMT 1650 that was a manually ground balanced model and featured a toggle switch that allowed you to select High or Low disc ranges for the discriminate control adjustment. By selecting Low it let you fine-tune the discriminate control to just knock out nails and respond wonderfully to near-by coins, such as those touching a nail or with a nail laying directly on top."
After I read that post I started looking for a Gold Mountain GMT 1650, and although it took several months to find one it has been well worth the effort.

After a few hours in my yard experimenting with the 1650, using various size rusty nails and different coins, I was ready for my first hunt with it. I decided to take it to the old football field here in town that was used from 1915 until 1958. There had been literally hundreds of coins found on the football field but the concession stand area hadn't given up anything but recently dropped surface coins in years, and would be good test for the 1650 as it's literally carpeted with steel bottle caps and rusty nails. It had been hunted by dozens of folks since the mid 1960's, and I had hunted it at least 75 times using various Compass, Garretts, Tesoros, Newforce, Whites, Fishers and Sovereign, including using small coils. The last silver coin to come up was a lone dime barely 2 inches down I had found three years earlier and that was the first older coin in 6 or 7 years from the spot.
The 1650 came through like a champ by pulling 11 coins and a brass ring out of the trash. Much better than I had expected, and needless to say I was very pleased with it's performance. The finds included two 1917 and a 1935 dime, five Jefferson nickels, a Buffalo nickel, three wheaties and a brass ring. The coins were only 3 to 4 inches down except one nickel that was maybe 5, but a lot of us with high dollar machines left them in the ground. In three hunts I pulled a total of 19 coins from the concession stand area with the 1650 that myself and a lot of others couldn't pull out of the trash with any of the many other detectors we've used there. I've rehunted it many times, including with all of the detectors I've bought or traded for, since then and the only older coin found was a 1930 wheatie right against a big rusty nail, and it was also found with the 1650. I also used it at a stagestop and inn site that was built in 1834 and found twice as many coins with the 1650 as the other five guys who hunted there combined found while using a variety of expensive top end detectors.
I kept the 1650 for over 13 years and still think it's the best vlf in ferrous trash I've seen, and I've had or tried most of the vlf detectors touted as being great in iron. The expanded split disc range on the 1650 allows hair splitting precision when setting reject points and while it is somewhat noisy in heavy trash with clicks, sputter and pops on rejected targets, desirable targets give a smooth audio response. It has excellent depth in all metal mode, comparable to many of the top current detectors, but in disc mode it's very similar to the pre Tejon, Vaquaro and Cibola Tesoros. I've dug dimes while using it at 6 plus inches and quarters at 8 plus inches, not comparable to some of todays detectors in the mild ground here but depth isn't the first priority when hunting in iron laden sites. The 1650's value is in its amazing target separation between ferrous and nonferrus targets and it's ability to average coins and small iron into the nonferrous range. It can't match the old 100 khz TR's in seeing through small iron, but for a VLF detector it's ability to see good targets under or near iron is amazing.
