I was testing my ETP on a gold wedding band and it came up at a 68. Does any one else have the same or different numbers on gold jewelry? I would like to know if I been passing any in my hunts.

ring's vco tone really "pops". throw out some can slaw, tabs, and rings and you can really tell the difference. I think a vco mid tone should be standard on all detectors. So much target info in the tone. ID's will lock very solid on rings as well.
Theres a few posters that really hunt for gold and are very dang good at finding it!...some of them only are able to hunt dirt gold...so you have something to pattern your hunting based upon their success...as if beach gold isnt tough enough to find, dirt gold is ten times tougher...
You can sort of evaluate a location and focus on the signals that gold makes in certain areas...since a fellow cant be wandering around random digging all tabs and foil, a guy has to focus up on where gold like to get lost and concentrate...if you read Craigslist lost and found, it will give you some idea of where gold is lost nowadays..generally in a parking lot, or bathroom, or at the mall, and sometimes the loser has no idea..you cant or dont want to go around hunting for the specific drop posted, but it does give a guy and idea of where some good spots might be...totlots, and the edges of parking lots for instance, both killer spots, totlots being easy to hunt are hunted often, edges being very tough to hunt are seldom hunted...anyway, you also have to develop a real fast retrieval method and try to bang out 200+ targets per outing...that means using a screwdriver for most targets...a fellow simply cannot dig 200 holes for foil and tabs in a short enough time..it would get pretty discouraging, so, if you just hunt like normal and learn how to focus on foil and tabs and nickels and zincs in certain areas, you will find gold. Lotsa gold chains out there that may have had several coils go over them but never get a prod on account of the signal is not solid and sounds like junk..
.Clives new book "The gold and jewelry hunter's handbook" condenses what he's learned in a short easy to understand read....anyway, theres a lot of it laying around within a few miles of your house, you would be surprised..

Using the gold rings I've found for test purposes. The thin gold rings came in around 48 and the thicker came in at 57-60. Since more lady rings are lost I always look for the ID numbers from a nickel down regardless of the machine I'm using.

Pure gold on the T2 sound crisp and clear but the meter reads Foil. However if the Gold is an alloy, ie. mixed with silver nickel, lead copper 9 ct 14 ct 18 ct etc etc the readings and tone will change depending on how much other materials are in the gold.
