I now own a Mineoro FG80

[vcrb]

How many coins do you think we need to prove whether Mineoro FG80 works or not?
If it fails to detect two coins that are buried in known positions, then what hope is there? :confused:
Any Garrett, Tesoro, Whites, Fisher, or whatever could find a couple of coins in a testbed (assuming they are within detection range). So it should be a simple task for the mighty Mineoro FG80 with it's fantastic detecting distance. Don't you agree?
Of course, you could go hunting in graveyards at night, but I don't fancy your chances in court.

If you can locate one ton of gold in a graveyard you would do better than we did ! We didn't have any luck at all, so "yes", I agree with you. I certainly wonder what FG stands for ? :confused: Good luck! (lol) VCRB

to make a test is such a hard dilemma for you ? test your gold sheet see if detects it or not why are you confused? it's the first step for test. some guys here continually have been telling "it never can detect any object it's not a metal detector,....", then simply see if can detect it or not.

Well, yes, I have gotten that far... the FG80 does not detect the gold test sheet (actually, gold-plated brass, I think) that was included with the detector. It also does not detect my 10-ounce gold bar.

Carl, Why don't you emit any idea for fresh gold detecting? haven't you tried any? why?
Carl,are you really so desperated for a test?????!!!! I'm really sorry for you. really.

Not sure what you're asking... if you're talking about the Mineoro, I just haven't had time to work with it yet. I have several other priorities right now.

Mineoro has contacted me and offered the upgrade for free. ~

So, you bought it new, right? .....Mouahahahaha
Sorry for that, just a joke i couldn´t resist.

This thread is really interesting, the results of your investigations will be really apreciated. Not only for the detector, but also for people´s reactions.
Soemone had to do it.

Yep - it's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.

Perhaps it should be renamed the FU80 ??

Hi, lastnight We received our FG80,albeit had not enough time and the place not appropriate, we just tested to see lest be out of order, no, was intact.
honestly it would detect every existence field there very sharply, about fresh gold no detection (at least at present) we should transfer it to our remote areas for serious tests.

actually, gold-plated brass, I think that was included with the detector. It also does not detect my 10-ounce gold bar.

Carl, about this part are you sure? it's a real gold sheet with high alloy (at least 1 I used pure HNo3 and assured it is gold.

No time to go into this in details right now. I'm leaving for my trip.
Either one of the following:

1 - Correct weather conditions ( less than 50% humidity, hot sun, etc.) are not met (fresh gold detection).

2 - Bad calibration. You have to practice.

Get back to you lin two weeks upon my return.

Actually it's a copper plate covered with gold.

Michael good luck and hope to hear good news from you on my return. Maybe trade some pictures?

He,ha,ho,hi,huh!



"...2 - Bad calibration. You have to practice...."


For the next 56 years...than you'll be master of FG80...!!!

Ask Esteban.

Really, I don't have this schematic.

Carl: Adjust in the most very delicate point you can.

Some tips

Wait few minutes and adjust in the most sensitive point you can.

"Attack" the area from different places and distances, move the detector slowly right-left, left-right, and study. Sometimes is more easy detect the object from several meters than very near.

Best detections occurs with your arm in 90º, horizontal. Also, when you pass over the object.

You can search in your patio for to detect other items maybe there are. But best results in inlands, in relics areas as battlefields, far of electric lines.

In the very little time I've spent with it, I can hold the FG80 horizontal and adjust the threshold to where the beeping just stops. Then, no matter where I'm at, if I point it downward, it starts beeping. Same thing with pointing it upward.

OK, I can set the FG80 on a surface, facing horizontal, and adjust the threshold to where the beeping just stops. Wave the "gold" sample, or my gold bar, anywhere in front, to the side, above, it doesn't matter... no beep. OK, adjust it to where it begins to beep... it's beeping rather randomly... beeping doesn't change in response to any target.

Last night, I took a closer look at the "gold" sample provided with the FG80. At one corner I noticed a slight separation... I discovered that the gold facing is an adhesive foil. I peeled it back slightly, and the foil is far more rigid than gold should be. I'm wondering if there is any gold in this sample at all. I plan to do some acid tests.

I know that this kind of detector works only for old items. Try in relic areas. After some time in use, readjust in the most sensitive point you achieve. I had other versions by Mineoro, but works for old items. The only time I found a item "at sight" was a section of silver coin in hot sand by the Sun, sunny day. I don't know why this hot item by Sun is detectable...

[Carl-NC]

I don't understand why Mineoro would include a "gold" sample if the FG80 won't detect it. At the very least, this thing should reliably detect the included sample.

Uh oh! Looks like Carl, has wasted big bucks to add another LRL to his 20+ collection of LRL's he has never been able to learn to use. He now own's 2 Mineoro's, and never learned to use the first one, before buying a second one. How smart can that be? Dell

Quack Quack !!

LoL…I find it humorous when a LRL manufacturer opens their mouth and makes an *** out of himself.
