What is a solid, repeatable 12-2 likely to be?

[AVXVA]

I was out the other day and came up with two 12-2 coin sized targets about 20-feet apart. It was late so I marked both spots and came home. But now I'm curious. Any ideas?

Thanks!

n/t

can slaw or foil is what ive gotten while detecting, although a thin gold ring will air test at or near that number. if they were good hits and the numbers didnt bounce around, there is the chance for gold.

 

[sprchng]

condiment foil or yogurt foil seal and then again maybe a small thin 14k ring --dig it especially if it's shallow---and haul it out regardless

Could be $1.00 gold coin. Probably foil but a good solid hit and I myself would have dug it. In a park around a picnic table is one thing. A CW campsite or beach is another. HH

Most of mine have been foil of some type, but you NEVER know...Dig um if your detecting them.

a 1 dollar gold coin is a solid 12-06 all day, I bought one to test on the etrac lol

At the beach that number has been foil for me so far.

12-2, if the depth is less than 3" - foil wrappers or small pieces of aluminum. If it shows as deeper - thin rings become a possibility.

Nice high carat gold or alum. slaw

A piece of Crap. Hope that helps

Yep ... sounds like small pieces of can slaw - when you hit one you usually hit five to ten more in a fairly small area - very common in sports fields.

Foil seal from out of old beer caps1 I found 7 the other day and dug a 1923 Buffalo nickel and a 1916 Canadian large cent in the hole mixed in, all were 10 to 12 inches deep........nge

One of my favorite finds was 12-02,and another one also.
both 14-k

 

[Tenspeed]

It can be a chain, but all I have ever found at 12-2 is a wad of tin foil or a piece of can slaw. I dig them every now and then just to verify what I am thinking when I see them.

 

[Whitetail]

Just dug 3 tonight....just for this post. Can slaw 3 times in a row.
