Do you guys ever get sick of digging gold? I find more gold than I do silver coins, well at least it seems that way. The ring is low karat and has been sized. My 10k acid eats it slowly, you can see the staining the acid caused. It looked like a junker from all the corrosion, I polished it up with my buffing wheel and dremeled the inside.
The ring was down around 4" and was utterly masked by square nails and iron. It gave me a repeatable mid tone sometimes. The secret is to pinpoint and center the coil and then give it a little wiggle when you see it hitting on a the mid frequency or a less dominant frequency than the iron around it. The iron will like the 2.5 or the 22.5 but hardly ever likes the 7.5. When I get a jumpy signal and it hits the 7.5 it screams dig me.
The v3/v3i is the only detector to give you this much information.
If I did not have that the 3 frequencies to look at I would have considered this ring to be another falsing piece of iron.
The silver plated spoon was found today at the 10" mark or better, no question to dig. The knife handle was also found at the 10" mark and no question to dig. I passed over both of these targets in the past using the stock D2 coil and 5.3 coil.
The gold plated mechanical pencil and Sterling tie clip where found some weeks back and where found with the 10x12 sef. These areas had been pounded by me with the stock coil, but to be fair I have much more experience now.
The .800 silver watch face cover was found yesterday at a depth of deep.... It rang up repeatably in the high 74-78 range.
The .58 caliber black powder ball is my favorite out of all of them. Most likely dropped by the same man who dropped his black powder flask that I recovered a week ago.
As always, have fun and be safe....
