I recently gathered a few genuine gold items to bench test with my detectors.
Running in jewelry mode/stock level sens:
It picked up a 5 gram 14k ring with a repeatable tone in the nickel range, the same with a 10k/4 gram ring.
A 12 gram 14k bracelet, fell just below the jewelry notch to first notch on both detectors. (2+ to 3 on GTI)
A small 14k necklace with charm, at about 2-3 grams, was completely invisible on the Ace, and would only light up a 2+ on the GTI when it was touched to the coil. Granted, this is a tiny necklace but for the Ace not to give a peep concerns me a little.
Does this mean that I should turn that notch on during hunts where gold may be present (Beaches/Playgrounds) or perhaps I need to alter settings to optimize for gold?
