When I was about 30 years younger and using the old BFO's, I noticed the detector would scream over foil wrappers and immediately realized that detector signals would react to certain metals differently and always wondered why the reflectivity couldn't be measured on targets. I accidentlally, out of curiosity, started reading about the new white's and couldn't believe my dream had materialized. My question is: when you come over a sta-tab, or for that matter, any tab, are the aluminum readings noticeably higher on a sta-tab or regular tab versus nickels and rings? Any more info that would "make my day" and cause me to let go of a $1,000 smackers would be appreciated. Also, are any other detectors this capable? This is just awesome news to me. And many thanks.

With the vast assortment of tabs used today, they come in all over the lower VDI spectrum all the way up to a zinc cent range on the bigger ones. Nickels will also vary in VDI's depending on depth and orientation in the ground. Gold rings will have the broadest range of VDI's depending in size and composition. I have dug gold rings from a VDI of 6 up to 72 on a huge men's class ring.
The day someone invents a detector that can tell gold from trash will be a VERY rich person. A lot of information on the V3i and readings in the small gold range can be found on the V3i forum.

Yeah, just saw that forum afterwards. My question, and maybe a misunderstanding of the analyze mode had to do with the 3 different frequency signals which I understood to give a graph of each signal and the frequency that was more responsive to aluminum would be predominant in such a situation.Larry (IL) said:

Analyze mode helps in some cases, but the small gold and tabs still ID the same. Sorry

I agree ... but then why would he sell such a detector?
Would you sell it if you had one?

Absolutely, let a manufacture make and sell them and I get my commission on each one and let everyone else find the gold all over the world. Hell yes I would share and we all would get rich.
