Hey guys and girls,

Last Saturday I had some free time at work, so I checked out this beach (lake) my friend told me about. I asked the guy at the office shack can I hunt this beach (lake), he said go for it. He also told me his buddy hunts this beach (lake) too but, he has been sick for the last four months. Armed with that information my buddy Dan and I hit the beach (lake) today and, I got me some gold. It
 
Nice Ring !
 
Congrats on the ring!! Nice Find!!
 
**** Question: I have yet to pull big gold with the Etrac, from the numbers I seen posted online I guessing 10-16 fe and 24-36 co. My question is would the Etrac still give that sweet GOLD TONE if the target ID(ed) at 12-36 or would I get the same high tone as if I was digging a penny. ****

If you were hunting in TTF then a Ferrous number between 17-35 would be low tones and 01-16 Fe would be high. A thin gold ring presenting 12Fe - 6Co would give a high tone (dig signal). You would dig this tone easily.

If you were hunting in TTC then a Conductive number between 01-25 would be low tones and 26-50 Co would be high. A thin gold ring presenting 12Fe - 6Co would give a low tone (low grunt). You would ignore this and miss the gold.

Larger, heavier gold rings will have higher conductive numbers (at the same relative depth) and are more likely to give the high dig tone in TTC. But the potential to miss thinner gold rings is a reality unless in TTF or Multi-Tone (you hear everything). You will also miss those thin rings and jewelry if you Disc (black out) the low conductive areas. If you are digging foil you are well on the way to finding rings.
 
Great find! To answer your question, a 36 willl sound the same regardless of the item, whether it be big gold or a penny, 36 is 36 and will give the same audio response
