#1 - - Hunt with the 7" concentric coil. This is a fantastic coil and you will get great results with it. (I will explain)
#2 - - Hunt in the artifact custom program. This will accept iron and you will get a lot better target separation amongst all targets!
In the artifact program you can barely hear the iron signals and your nonferrous signals will be much louder than the iron signals.
You can adjust the iron level volume even more when you build your own custom program.
Fisher did a great job here!
#3 - - Small gold rings will be small targets. (in length)
With the 7" concentric coil you can get right over the top of the target in just a second.
Then you size up the target. Is the target long or short?
A long target reading out in the 20's I would dig as it might be a small gold chain.
A long target reading out in the 40's I probably would not dig. (it depends on the time of day)
#4 - - I would dig all targets from 20 to 42 ...... anything higher and you are getting into corroded zinc penny territory.
Targets that jump around a lot on your I.D. meter in the 30's and 40's, you might want to skip these as they are probably jagged pieces of aluminum or junk targets that are not round.
#5 - - Back to sizing up targets using a small concentric coil...
Those pulltabs from the 1960's that have a beaver tail attached...
When you size these up they will be a "long target". Again you want "short targets".
And they will give off two different signals. One for the aluminum ring portion and one for the beaver tail portion.
That is how you know that you have came to one of these that is close to the surface.
When these are down deep then dig them all.
#6 - - I use the Killer Bee Headphones with volume control. These are great headphones to have!
When you hunt you must keep your volume control at the same level every time out.
And here is why...
Those big gold class rings give off zinc penny signals... however they are significantly louder than a zinc penny.
And the zinc penny signals because many are corroded, their signals will bounce around a lot on your I.D. meter.
The gold class ring signals will give you a steady reading with little to no bouncing of numbers.
You need to learn what your headphones are telling you and to do that you must keep your volume level the same every time you go detecting.
#7 - - There are several varieties of rectangular pull tabs out there and they read out anywhere from 35 to 45 on the F44
They will give you steady readings with no bouncing. To dig or not to dig is your choice.
When hunting parking strips I would dig all your rectangular pull tab signals.
When hunting around a picnic table that would be a different story.
#8 - - Dig all your signals in the 20's even if they are bouncing around.
Small odd shaped gold ear rings will give you signals in the 20s that bounce all over.
#9 - - When hunting sport fields that don't have many signals then hunt in all metal.
Diamond stud ear rings and gold chains are now added to your "hit list" when hunting in all metal and yes the F44 does I.D. very accurately in all metal.
#10 - - Your chances of finding a gold ring in right field are better than in left field.
Can anybody tell me why?
