A few great finds are worth much more than a 1000 normal finds Confucius 2022...

Not sure where this is coming from [gold rings at 19 tid]????
Gold rings will range from 3 - 24 (personal experience), typically, and reports have them coming in as low as 1 and as high as 26. Small gold rings (eg 1g) will ring in at low tid numbers like 5 and heavy gold rings will typically be higher tid numbers like 12 and above. The ring at 1.41g was a "9" and ring at 0.90g was a "5" and the larger 14k gold ring was a 13-14 (6g)

as recent finds. fyi

2022
Gold/Platinum - 11
Silver - 21

19 on my Equinox with Coiltek coil not unusual, I have found over 500 gold rings in my travels. Most of the time I don't pay attention to screen, I just dig the targets. I get the same results with the Coiltek 10x5 Nox coil. 10k gold mens band rang up as 17

I just did an air test on several pieces of gold and got a TID of 7, 19,23. I believe gold will ring up from a 1-23/25

I really am starting to think the Equinox locks onto SIZE of an item...not saying always...but starting to notice a pattern... I have NOT found any gold with Equinox...silver yes... but some of my readings seem more based on size! (under 20 hunts in purchased around 2 months ago...

Also strange the other day had a quarter read 33!
Found a junk ring came in at #19...but also noticed the shape was around the size of a cent...

Seems to me the calibration for the equinox and readings often can be a little puzzling...dimes fine 25...quarters normally fine 29/30 ..cents...zincolns all over the board 16 to 26... a mess...

Also the equinox picking up the tinniest of pieces of metal ...

I have used several detectors and like the equinox... my goal make a detector pay for itself... but I am a little puzzled by some of the very inaccurate depth and tid... not saying I am struggling... over $40 in clad... just noticing the depth readings off... and the readings often off...
