Gotta tell you

[greasecarguy]

That recently I was at the same park for the um-teenth time. Yes we have pulled silver and wheats but none this day. I decided to switch gears and attempt to dig a few nickles. With that, I hope to find some gold figuring that pull tabs, nickles and gold will have similar digital numbers (though I do not know this for fact).

After a bit i am still looking for mostly deeper signals and i did find a war nickle, a buf. and a V nickle in the same hunt. No pic as my software (paint) just doesn't work well for this.

If you only hunt for silver and copper, you might want to give this a try just to shake things up a bit. With the price of gold, I sure would like to find some of that but i really don't know where to start. I have to assume dig all pull tab readings....is this correct?

If anyone comes on, to answer your question, and tries to tell you that there is a way you can dig gold and nickels, while passing foil and tabs (tones, grid spots, etc...) then do this: quickly take them out to the nearest inner city blighted junky park. Turn them loose and see well they pass junk, but still dig low conductor goodies.

You can get nickels (V's and buffalos) with cursor and sound tricks, yes, while passing most all other low conductive junk. But this is because nickels are 100% consistent with each other in shape, size, composition, etc.... (unlike gold jewelry which comes in 1,000,000 different variations of size, shape, and composition). Sure it's not as easy as going for silver/copper, but it can be done if you study how the deeper nickels read. (because they won't read exactly where fresh ones read).

As for gold jewelry, you can certainly go to junky blighted parks and dig foil and tabs till your arms fall off, or you can simply go to areas where jewelry odds are just better to begin with: Swimming beaches. If you are near the ocean, and learn to read the swells, tides, winds, etc... you can even go on days where mother nature takes away all the light stuff, leaving absolutely no aluminum But if you on inland lake beaches, just go anywhere that people frolick, swim, and lather up with slippery suntan lotion, and your jewelry odds will go up.

My latest idea for finding gold stuff is to dig all the gold signals at first each site/day and then stop digging the repeating readings that are repeatedly pull tabs. That way if you miss gold you only miss the gold that is imitating the very signals of the particular pull tab in that site. If I dug every pull tab signal and every deep coin it would look like the moon when I was done so I usually only dig for gold where there is no grass.

Well said Tom, thanks for the post.

On the Beachs your gold numbers will deff inprove. I still think a lot of it is there arent as many hight tones on the beach so you tend to listen and check more of those low tons. In trashy areas i have to decide to hunt for just those items with a pattern that doesnt include the upper part of the screen since it distracts me. I also reduce my sensitivity just because most jewerly unless the dirt has moved around a lot in parks isnt that deep. I dont think you find as much jewerly in the park as the beach because you have a tendancy to grease up, get wet, sweat, and use your hands more on the beach. Thats when those loose items slip or break off.
