TO SWEEP DEEP AND MAKE A HEAP.

I pulled up a 9 carrot gold ring yesterday. It was 2 to 3 inches deep.
It's a ladies ring, so it only weighed about a gram and a half or so. I also picked up a silver mens ring as well on the same hunt. It was 2 inches deep. Both were in lawn.

Hi Andy & Mick,
What was the readout numbers for your gold rings.

WHICH COIL ARE YA'ALL USING IN THE GRASS? How well does the x70 pinpoint when locating targets...in other words can a coin or ring be located using a screw-driver type probe, or is it a major dig to find the stuff in the grass?

thanks

Fred

in grassy areas and they were not deep. I'm sure a person could easily passover a deep gold ring though. HH, Mike

Hi Fredm,
I use the 18.75 kh. eleptical coil dd all the time . It is a magical for all types of searching. For pinpointing not a problem . Everybody has their own way but i find once you have swept over the target move forward with the coil sweep back on to the target till you just get it on the back edge then wiggle it left to right 1 inch so that is in the centre of the coil on the back edge when you are happy with that move forward 2 inches and put it into pinpoint then move back onto the target till your circle fills up. And you are on the target.

The 9 carrot ring reads 8 on the X-Terra 30. I have had gold rings read as high as 24.

G'day Fred.
When I found the ring a couple of days back, I was actually using my Ace 250. That's why I didn't say too much about it on this forum. I was just tying to answer Rays question. I use a screw driver as my main recovery tool in grass and yes, I even pull rings up with it. If you want to get good at it, then just practice pulling up pull tabs. They are just as tough to locate as a ring. Once you get good at recovering pull tabs, then you can probe just about anything with a screw driver. The X-Terra's don't pinpoint as well as the Ace can, but as it was pointed out to me here a few months ago here, if you hit the pinpoint button twice more (detuning) while still over the target, then you will get a much narrower pinpoint. If you have the 70, then pinpoint in prospecting mode.
As I indicated a couple of weeks back, that once I'd hit my target amount with the Ace, then I'll start using the X-Terra and Explorer again. I've done that now, found $125 in the last week and a half, so you will see a bit more of me on the forum.

Here is my recovery tools for grassed areas. Working on a hooked screwdriver so you can get into the middle of pulltabs and rings.

Thanks Pinpointa and Mick;
those are excellent recovery tools for grass...I have had detectors that are very easy to pinpoint with, even the tails on pulltabs, but I have not used a minelab for any coin/ring hunting in the grass....I haven't stepped into the x70 yet...but will likely do so in the near future...

[attachment 63107 Oriuginalpulltabampringpuller.JPG]Pull pulltabs and rings out of the ground with this modified 8" bread knife, not a knife with a long tapered point. Notches were cut using a Dremel tool with metal cutting discs. Just stick knife straight down and pull toward you and up, (usually needs more than one swipe), hooks onto most anything. Beef up the handle for grip. Need good pinpointing. Works good in moist soil/lawns.

Hi Jabbo,
Thats an excellent idea i am working on one a little different to that have been trying different proto types and not far away from solving it.
