Still thinking about the golden umax
- Thread starter dfg4240

The notch on the Golden is both a curse and a blessing. It eliminates digging most pulltabs and eliminates the heavier gold rings at the same time. Most ladies gold rings will still be detected along with a few tabs when in notch mode. I use notch where there is a lot of tabs present, I turn it off where there are no tabs.
Here is an example of some target ID numbers I got with a very repeatable ID detector. Gives an idea of where some of the targets come in. Picture is of four targets that I dig a lot of but don't care to dig and three targets I would like to dig all the time. Just be aware of what range you are notching. If you have access to a selection of rings, try some, along with tabs and get a good idea of exactly where your notch settings are.

jabbo,
I think Dertnc is on the right track. About two thirds of the tabs I dig are like that one that comes in at 33. The current soda and domestic beer cans seem to be that type. If you can get rid of those and still hit both a nickle and one of the old beaver tail type of tabs, you should also hit most rings you might put the coil over. If you get one of the beaver tail tabs with the tail off, the tab ring by itself has an ID number of about 40 on the same detector I used when I put the picture together. The rings in the picture are size 7 and not real thin but they are not massive either. Most of the gold rings I recover are at or below a nickle conductivity wise. The gold ones that are above nickle in conductivity are all, very much, happy dance rings!

With notch you can knock out common pulltabs and high conductive gold rings.
Without notch, with disc set on "b" on "pull tab", you can knock out common pulltabs and low conductive gold rings.
Without notch, with disc on pre-set triangle, you can get all types of gold rings and you will get all the pulltabs.
But you can't seem to knock out the common pulltabs and get all the gold rings with the same settings.
My advice, in an area which you think has potential, intend to get lower conductive gold rings. Afterwards, change the settings to go for high conductive gold rings.

I saw it also but watch what it goes for at the end.
it has been climbing steadily-I still might get a new one if I can get a demo or a return or even a good deal but I keep thinking of Hillis who had a mint new one and he struggled to get $325.
That means if I don'r like it I will be out $100 at least. The one on ebay is a converted one and I don't need the small coil right now.
You know what is hard is when you have moolah in your paypal acct. and you see all of the good-buys that come up-it is hard to back off.
I just bought my third Eldorado from backwoods detector.Think I would be smart enough to keep it this time.
