Target ID For Gold Coins

[fastdraw]

I live in Virginia City, NV. "The Richest Place on Earth" so finding old silver coins and pennies is easy to identify using
the target ID number. But.... I cannot find any reliable data to identify Gold Coins. Finding gold coins in Virginia City NV. is
still hard,...! but not impossible. My friend just found a really nice 1855 $5.00 gold piece, and he said it displayed
a 19 on the target ID with his Nox 800 in Park-1 Mode.

So does anyone have a reliable record of US Minted Gold Coin target ID's for the following gold coins. $2& 1/2 $5.00 $10.00 $20.00
using the Equinox 600 or 800

I don't have numbers for the $20. I do for the others...

$1.00 -- 11/12 (depends upon which variety)
$2.50 -- 16
$5.00 -- 18
$10.00 -- 21

Also remember a nickel is at 12-13, pull tab at 16, zinc cent at 18 and copper cent at 21. Oh well, I guess I'll dig it all...

Yea... I noticed the Gold coin numbers match junk. But if Metal Detecting was easy, it wouldn't be any fun..!

You're going to find junk targets that match the readings of every keeper you find.

Your VDI's seem low, zinc cents come in at 21 & copper cents at 25 for me.
