MD20
GOLD TRACKER
INTRODUCTION
The Falcon Gold Tracker model MD20 is a unique metal detector designed to
find gold, even extremely small pieces of gold. Built upon the technology of
the MD10SP, the MD20 has increased probe sensitivity and the controls have
linear enhancements to provide ease and precision of setting. The MD20 has
a waterproof probe on a 5 foot cable. Threading the cable through the op-
tional handle allows the user to search standing up. Operating at 300 KHz
and using High Q components, the Falcon has superior sensitivity to all
other probes.
To be found with your Falcon, a metal or mineral target must exist in an elec-
trically conductive form and in sufficient concentration. Gold, silver, and
other metals are found in such form both in nature and man made objects. The
Falcon responds to all metals. Its ability to detect and pinpoint small nuggets
have given it the label GOLD TRACKER. While the Falcon does not dis-
criminate between metals, it gives separate responses to minerals vs. metals.
The Falcon may even respond to the electro magnetic field of the earth as
seen by waving the probe in the air with the sensitivity at maximum. This
effect will be minimal during normal use. The Falcon is a motion detector
and needs to be moved slowly over the target for maximum sensitivity.
