ACE Yard Test

[DJR]

Hi all interested individuals

As I posted last week I was going to do a test on various target items planted in an area of my yard here in Florida over the holiday weekend.

Here are the results:

That's truly interesting. Are you saying the gold rings were causing the icon to jump back and forth on each side of the nickel? If so, that's TRULY interesting. Thanks.

Sorry for the way the post came out. The item results were supposed to be in two rows and the ID info in bold!

Yes the gold items rang up on both sides of the 5c mark. So did the Stainless steel spoon. So any SS jewelry will probably register the same as gold items. I would swing the detector over the target and it would chime off as a good hit on the right side then as I was trying to see the exact location still swinging it would pop on over to the other side of the 5c mark. So I have no idea how many gold items I have been missing cause most of the junk items I have found are in this same zone..."dig it all" is my motto from now on!

Notice the Aluminum Desoto token as I said was ALL OF THE ID SPECTRUM! It did the same thing when I first found it in the yard.

I'm hoping you've found a way to identify some rings. I'll certainly check out some of those targets! I'm thinking it will do this in a/m or relics mode more often than any other modes 'cause the other modes have a tad too much disc. BTW, the relics mode is my favorite mode. That's another reason I wouldn't be happy with the 150.
