More gold ring TID numbers....

[Digger]

TID's of rings will vary with K, alloy, size, shape, angle they are buried and whether or not the band is intact. Regardless, there have been some requests for TID infomation on gold rings, so I scanned a few tonight, using the stock coil, open screen and NO GB.
Note that I scanned them each in all four Separation modes, with very little variance in TID readings between each mode. The only exception is the ring in the upper left corner that, when I dug it, I found it had a 1909 penny stuck inside, which is still there. Here are two shots of the same rings, so you can get a better idea of the size and shape. TID numbers and K are listed for each.

Since posting these pictures, Porschephile has posted a 14K white gold band that registered 12/01 in Ferrous Coin Separation mode. [attachment 240137 whitegold.jpg]

and Buried Crap NJ has also allowed us to share a link to his post of rings, with CTX 3030 TID information. Click on the link to take you to his original post on the CTX 3030 forum.

Randy confirmed what we already knew, that gold comes in all across the VDI spectrum, but I was really surprised at the 12-46 on the wedding band. The highest I have had is a 12-33 on a large class ring.

 

[Digger]

Odds of me finding another one like that are slim and none..... and slim already left the building! Seriously, I imagine those numbers are skewed because that specific ring is the one that has the 1909 Wheat penny wedged inside. It was that way when I dug it and I've not been able to shake it out. It is stuck so tight, I've thought about prying on it, just to see if it is a VDB! But I've not done that as it is "unique". Besides that, I'd end up scratching both the coin and the ring! I'd guess that long ago, some guy stuck his ring in his pocket, along side his change. The penny became wedged prior to being lost. I'd bet he didn't even miss the penny! HH Randy

Thanks for the info. It is very helpful to a new CTX user

Very interesting the resized 10k at 13-46 is on I would have never have thought you would see. Why would it read up as a quarter? Never had a 10k ring read that high.

[Digger]

I hadn't either Jason. There is a huge silver (solder) seam up the side where it was resized. I imagine it throws off the "normal" readings. But jumping to a 46 is much higher than I would have expected. HH Randy

Thanks randy I was not digging many of the readings in the copper penny dime range at the beach as I expected there would be no gold in that range. You just never know.
