Question about gold rings

[HotTexas]

Do you find most of your gold rings left side of a nickel or do they ID above the nickel range? I find more gold rings above the nickel range.

I understand that small gold rings will fall into the foil range, but thats not what I asking, I'm just asking what range do you find most of your gold ring?

I'm not a digger of it all, so my gold ring finds, average 6 to 7 a year, hit as a nickel. I have had a couple of larger ones hit in the low penny numbers. HH jim tn

99.9% of all the gold I find is nickle or below.

Every piece of gold here had a VDI of nickle(1 or lower.

Most of my gold rings read at thr nickel/pulltab range.

From what I've heard Europeans Tend to like and buy higher carrot gold jewelry 18 to 20 carrots. I think that's why Garrett runs its gold range from Nickle to 1 cent area. Not because of the Europeans, just because the higher the carrot the higher it reads. What would a $20.00 gold piece read. I would love to fined out.

Dont let all these people bullchit you HT. 99 % of gold range is found here.

Depends on the size, shape, and composition - they can fall anywhere.

Well I have never seen a 20 dollar yankee gold coin but I would imagine that a 20 doll au coin minted today would not be much gold maybe 0.5gm or so which would mean that it would be a small coin and quite thin if it is solid pure gold and would then give a reading somewhere between foil and beaver tail PT.
But a 20 from 50years ago would be a heavier coin and would read higher? maybe??? Just a guess realy.

I know a lot of the gold I have found hit in the foil range.

My last gold ring find was in a park with my ACE 250. It hit and bounced from nickel to pull tab. It was a large class ring. Anytime a target hits in that area and bounces, I always dig. Onus

1909 $5 , VDI 68 ... So I beleive the 10 and 20 would be a higher VDI number.. 80 or more..

Hi HT.
Almost all my 14 k's hit on the nickle range, my 10 k hit on the pull tab and the 2 - 18 k I found hit just below the penny range. Most of my rings are from the beach. It might be a little different depending on where you hunt geographically speaking with different mineral concentration.

When I started hunting in the '80s an old timer told me that as long as I was finding nickles I wouldn't be missing much if any gold!

I dig everything except very large targets and even those I carefully scan, and have never worried that I was missing anything.

Sometimes large targets are masking smaller ones!

I consider each nickle a promise of future gold finds!!

My old Grand Master Hunter read a $2.50 US as a pull tab on a bench test. Good machine till the touchpad went bad and Garrett no had parts. They did give me a discount on a new detector of my choice. Still miss the old one.
