Gold rings

[gunwolf]

Hello all! new to the E-trac (about three weeks now) and new to this site. does anyone know what gold rings read as? I ask because late last fall I was helping someone search for a rather large Gold ring (he thinks is 14K) but all I had was my ACE250 and could not locate it. I plan on helping him again this month. any help with VDI ? 10K? 14K? thankyou

In the 11-11 range with varying Fe/Co due to soil and depth. This is what i got on a gold test charm I buried.

Hi Gunwolf,
I have found gold rings vary a great deal depending on the size,a mens big chunky 18kt will come up a good solid 12-30 thru to 12-36,where as a light ladies ring could be as low 12-07 to 12-15, thats why it pays to dig all those tear tab signals because the next one could be gold.

go light on the disc and heavy on the dig, if you go over it you got it. rings can be all over on the numbers, depending on size, karat, shape, depth, orientation in the ground, nearby trash, etc, etc.... wish I could help more but there doesn't seem to be an exact formula for gold rings (that I know of)

Knowing the general location will help and gridding of that section. Hit it from several angles and be sure to go low, slow and overlap your swing... If it was lost recently, try turning sens down a bit so there is less interference from deeper objects....

Good luck and hope you find it!

When I first started detecting, I had a bought a used MXT, and found one gold ring. On 1/12/10, I bought my E-Trac, I found lots clad, and silver, and silver rings, even found a 1889, and 1876 dime. But never found another gold ring. On May 12,2012 I bought a Tesoro Tejon, on Thursday May 24th. I found a gold ring. I know I was walking over gold with the E-trac. The beep and dig machine makes me dig more targets.

I have a LARGE collection of pultabs that I keep to reminme about the gold rings, if you whant to find gold rings you have to pull a lot's if pultabs because they sound the same way, even foil is there to full you some times because some gold will sound just like foil, I'm more into the sounds than numbers because I came from the Soverign GT family but the last ring I found it mark 12-18 solid from all sides it was at 9" a 14K Grad's ring dated 1941.
To me gold souds just like Nickels, smood and sweet.

I have only dug one with my Etrac and it hit at 12-30. My wedding ring reads 12-20 just lying on the ground.

On the 14K Ring that I found on the Memorial day it rung at 12-13,14,15 when it was in the ground, at the beganing I was thinking that is was a nickle or a pultab but when it was out of the hole it rung at 12-18 solid.
But the ring was on edge with the havy part (the face) facing down.

I have only dug two.....one was a womans 14k class ring and it came in at a solid 14-17

the other one was a large man's 10K classring and it was a solid 12-24

If you send me your email address - I can send you a excel chart that I saved from another site - it lists the readings for various coins, rings, pulltabs etc.
