This Unit also includes a two additional testing wands for greater versatility, a Refiners wand that detects metal under the surface 1.5 times deeper than the current Bullion wand. This is for use with bars larger than 1kg. We will also offer a Small Wand which can measure small items down to a width of 8 mm.
Pro units will not test slabbed coins less than 32 mm diameter. Original Sigmas will test many slabbed coins down to 1/4 oz with the large wand.
