First off you need to pick One type of metal that you want as your intended target, When you decide that we can help you, you are listing 4 types of Ore and some of those Ore's can be found quite easily

Good point.   My intended target would be iron ore.
Other people may have a different target ore such as silver ore. for example.

Well most modern metal detectors will find Iron Ore, But you don't need a machine to Beep on it, A two box will but if you want to track it then you need a Whites GMT because not only will it show you the high ground reading but it will show you the percentage of the minerals, and the MXT will show you the high Ground Phase, and the F75 will show you the FE content.

Another way to do it is use any one of those machines and Ground Balance it in a mild Area and lock the GB and then as the reading goes up it will lead you to the hot spot, But by locking the GB the machine will make ground noises Alerting you to the change in mineralization and you can use this method using the Whites TM 808 because when the Ground changes the meter or the headphones will tell you, And the same applies to Copper because they are both minerals and mineralization is one thing that all detectors can find,

hope this helps.

Hello
Thank you for the tips Ridge Runner.   Grin
Will have to use the larger two box detector some to get a better idea of general use as well as "Inductive mode and Conductive modes of use" . 
There is of course no real tracking like the more modern Whites MXT, DFX, or GMT detectors. 
One will have to re-tune a lot as there is generally no tracking on lower end two box detectors (The pain of using a two box detector).  Using the two box detector in a "Wide scan mote" may help a lot with the tuning will have to try it out.  Maybe some one has some experience with this out there?

A Two Box is not going Bleep / Signal on Iron or Copper Ore like it will a Lump of cast Iron or a car Wheel etc, because they are minerals NOT Metal, Where the MXT etc will alert you of the Ground Changes by either the meter if you use it in the Prospecting mode with the tracking  ON, or the with it Ground balanced and Locked and then it will become noisy alerting you to the changes of the Ground Minerals.

The sole reason I bought these machines is because they can measure the mineral content, If you use a two box the only way you can trace minerals is by ground balancing and locking it and when it gets noisy that will tell you that the ground conditions are changing, For what you are asking for a Two Box has very little to offer for such a task,

With my machines I can actually Map the ground, A two box will just make a noise, they do not have the sensitivity to do what you want,

Hello
Thank you Ridge Runner for pointing out that a two box detector can't map out the ground because the machine will beep on both minerals and metal. 
Maybe one way to use a two box machine is to trace a given load ore that one has found first to help determine the size and shape thereof.  Another way to use the two box machine is to see if there is a mineral / metal larger then say a cannon ball size in a given rock.

Posted on: September 04, 2016, 10:18:22 am
Hello
Maybe another way to use a two box machine is to connect the transmitter antenna loop directly to the known target to help find out the target size and shape by tracing just that signal. 
Anyone out there try this out and how well did it work?

  Few Ore bodies are continuous  Connected the whole length. 

Just go with Induced Polarization set up.

Yes this is the general case with most ore bodies.  
This is part of the reason this one chooses iron ore as a target to see if the given target ore goes all the way through a given rock / boulder. (shape and size of a ore body).   Maybe there is some 'color' that also follows nearby the same ore body / vein is the big question.

If one has a intended target of Silver / copper ore it could be real good news if the target signal is traced through the rock / boulder.  Shocked Kiss

Hello
Thank you for the tip on  Induced Polarization set up home fire as this tool is not out of the question to rent.  The cost is likely high. 
A cheap two box detector is a place to start with on a given rock / boulder.

Any ideas on where and how much one can rent a Induced Polarization set up?

Hello
Anyone out there try a ten foot pole to space out and carry both boxes?   
This will be a pain to carry around any brush and will have to be used in a open rock area.

Hello
On a old Fisher Explorer two box the transmitter loop is riveted.  Any ideas if one should put a terminal block with a switch in line to add a connecting wire?

  What model ?   What Wire ?   If you tap the Tx er your going to throw it off freq.  You would be better off building  a Purpose built Transmitter and Receiver

What you really need is a MAG, Or a Drilling Rig
