Think physical activity....outfields with baseball have a lot of running, throwing etc. Soccer fields....more activity closer to goal posts. Think mass gatherings....sidelines of soccer fields. Do some field testing in various areas. If you get some good hits every so often, carry on. If no good finds show up after 10-15 minutes, find another potential spot. Some sports fields are gold mines, others are terrible.
Don't use a digger in a sports field either. You spend too much time digging deep targets in places where usually junk shows up. Use one of Garrett's electronic pin pointers and a screwdriver to pop out the coins and rings. Much faster then using a digger. The more digs you get per hour gets you more good finds.
Dig those pennies! Yah, I know, they are a waste of time, worth almost nothing . Why bother? Well, most silver and some gold rings read where the penny reads. There is no setting on ANY detector specifically for rings. You got to dig a lot of targets. If you want to cherry pick just the higher or lower conductive targets, go ahead. But you will leave the better finds for people who will go the extra mile and dig all penny signals. And I got paid over $50.00 to do just that in pennies, just so I could find lots of rings. And you know what? It really works. And having a detector which can size a target even increases your chances of getting rings also.
Hope this helps...... below is a result pic from a soccer field and my over all ring totals from last year.
