Can pinpointer detecting thin chain?

[Koala]

Can't help with the original question but can say that the Garrett Pro fails on small items. I detected a very small piece of brass all be it not very deep with my detector then someone else with a Garrett Pro touching it could not get it to register at all.

Hello, First, sorry for my bad english.
I do not agree with the statement that no one pinpointer thin chain can detect.
I been build a pinpointer who thin chain and even a single small link at 0.8 inches can detect. The Garrett pro pointer not detected at all. He's definitely not ready yet and needs to be further improved, but the first tests are very hopeful and exceeds the Garrett pro pointer ease.
If there is interest, I would make a video with the results achieved so far.

I am sorry. Nobody is angry on you. It is just an original expression of that disappointment in metal detecting technology regarding unexpected failure of chains detecting that every detectorist has learned once.

Maybe someday there will be a metal detector that will easily be able to find chains ...

There are claims, that some detectors are capable to detect thin (how thin?) gold chain yet. Detectors like Blisstool LTC64 par example.

Maybe we face with bigger problem than in chain case when we try to detect thin used injection needles in grass.

Good day!

WM6, do not be angry at me, but you took the wrong assumptions
I only ask for information, so I can include them in my knowledge and future projects.

Hi Harp,

this is not problem, cause your detector cannot detect such thin gold chain too, so you don't need to pinpoint it..

Good day!
Can anyone confirm whether pinpointer capable of detecting thin silver or gold chain?
I made a simple (only on the test plate), http://www.qsl.net/va3iul/Homebrew_R...T_Homemade.gif
and a thin silver chains can not be detected even if it leans on a ferrite core. Large (3mm) chain link can be detected.

Thanks!
