I'm sure someone will chime in with a variety of lists and scales that've been made over time. But to answer the part about pulltabs and gold rings, just be forewarned that there are a million different kind, shape, sizes, carots, etc... of gold rings, and a million different variations of tabs, foil wads, beaver tails, can slaw, etc.... Even the tabs in your selected hunt site are fairly uniform (all from the same brand, size, thickness, etc...), then you can hone in on a certain TID cursor-spot to ignore. But I gaurantee you that the minute you start ignoring a certain TID spot, there will be some type gold jewelry or rings that might also fall into that same TID spot. And the minute you start trying to pass a commonly recurring type of tab wherever you are, you will find that bent-over ones, chopped ones, ones-on-edge, etc... will not peg exactly as a nice flat shallow one will.

So for now, no machine can conclusively tell aluminum from gold. If you are in a place where the aluminum ratios are just too punishing, try going to swimming beaches (especially on eroding ocean beaches after swells/tides) where all the light stuff has been removed by mother nature Even if you're in an in-land state, lake swimming beaches will have higher ratios of jewelry, than turf.

Bfid -

You can also Google "Mike Moutray SmartFind screens", or something along that line, and find typical locations for many coins/targets on the SmartFind screen. You can print these screens out in color, and can keep them handy for reference as you search. These would be "general areas" where specific objects will show up, with the caveat that mineralization, co-location with junk or other coins, etc. can affect these locations. I have found use of the SmartFind screen much easier to learn and evaluate targets than the ever changing Ferrous/Conduct numbers on the other search screen, IMHO. Good luck and HHing. Johnny

I could fax you some accurate readings if you give me a fax #

Here are the list of digital IDs that I have. These are the most common reading only. If you rely on them too much you may miss a lot of good targets.
