Went to the beach thursday, got my 1st gold ring since selling my MXT,whew!! I was getting worried that the etrac wouldnt hit gold, I hope I got the monkey off lol, anyway was a good day I also got a small sterling ring and a large sterling & turqouise ring they both will look great when I clean them up, I also gt a 1943 merc and a 1952 rosie and $7.16 in change. The gold ring is 14kt white gold and weighs 2.7 grams it's small but i'm happy it rang in at 12-05 but sounded more round and smooth as compared to a pulltab at 12-05 sounding bumpy, ring was 8" deep,

Major Congrats
You got a Haul with the Gold,Sterling and Silver Coins
The Best Day I've heard of in a long time
By the way I have found Seven Gold Rings with the ET this past year and half and only one was found at the Beach!
So No Worries about the ET finding Gold

Congrats...I also have not found any real gold with mine either...Just plated stuff...Gold comes in all over the place...
But usually sounds solid.

Great looking finds! Way to go on the silver & gold!
I had been digging pull tabs at fe12/co5 but they sounded bumpy with multiple variations, but the 12 fe & 05 co number that came up when I found the ring was very solid and sounded much more smooth & round with no changing numbers, solid 12 fe 05 co moving around 360 before digging,I am hoping that this is the norm and not the exception because pulltabs are a pain as you know and can waste valuable time digging them plus they are hard to pinpoint once you get them out of the hole. I had no trouble at all pinpointing the ring.

Nice finds 
It gets the golds.Thanks Diggindoc and everyone that gave me encouragement to stick with the Etrac, I am getting used to the etrac much quicker than I 1st thought, I had used the MXT with a lot of success and knew it inside out after 9 years, but this Etrac has really Wowed me with its capabilities & possibilities. I will always respect the MXT for what it was designed to do but this Etrac is a Super Detector!! I am learning that thos low 12-02 to 12-20 can be jewelry enough times that they are worth digging especially at the beach. Thanks all

Most of the gold I have tested comes in at 12-08...The plated garbage comes in all over the place depending on the base metal...My last ring rang up 12-42 because the base metal was copper I think.
