I am a novice who is fortunate to be working in Congo RDC. I buy and export raw gold and have the opportunity to find my own.
Most people using the detectors seem to be looking for coins and treasures. I on the other hand am in rich gold country. I have bought the whites GMT, OKM Rover Deluxe & garrett Infinium to use here in Congo for serious gold prospecting.
Currently I use the Rover for imaging and whites for confirming content already dug out soil> I have recently visited a producing gold mine with the intention of using the Deluxe images to help me better identify gold when I see it in the images. However, so far all images are very similar> In the manual it shows gold as 'red'. My scans show orange in almost every scan anywhere I scan- obviously I can't be seeing gold everywhere and i can't dig everywhere.
I have reads the manual many times and still can't tell the difference between gold and heavy mineralization or ferrous metals! It is driving me crazy...
I am in prime gold country- i buy plenty from artisanal miners who find their gold the old way- I can't seem to get results with the technology at all.
My question is- do i need a specialized detector for this type of prospecting i.e. veins, placer, alluvial gold? or am i not interpreting the scans correctly.
I really need help badly.
Thanks.
