Being a new guy with the X-70 I have a question I can't seem to square away in my head. I have been using the X-70 for almost a good month and have yet to find any jewelry, (a whole bunch of coins, even nickels). I have been doing plenty of digging. Could be I just haven't detected any. My question this time is, when you have found jewelry in the past what kind of tone, (solid-broken) did you get and did the numbers stick or float around a bit? Thanks

Jewelry signals.

I just found my first 14k gold ring last week. The signal was varying from 8 to 18 - 20 I almost gave up but start to lock on 18 and 20 so a little more scanning and pinpointed in the corner of my hole moved some more dirt and there was my first gold ring! Wt was 5.4 penny wt.but to answer your question the number were bouncing all over. So know I am wondering how much other stuff I passed up with a bouncing signals? Just goes to show you don't know unless you dig.....Her is a picture not good one will post a better picture this week sometime. Found on the side line of a soccer field.

Well, as crossed up as this particular subject has me, I hope you are correct.

Guess I'm just hoping for an easy answer. Well, I shall continue digging. It's got to happen, (I think).
The silver that i have found seems to hit and lock in better. I only have 2 gold rings in a year of hunting. I used to not dig those iffy signals. I am now trying to dig more signals. It sure does get frustrating though. The trash digging gets old qiuck. I hope for gold all the time, Beale.
Xwyokid,
First, you need to be using Pattern number 1. I even eliminate the -2 discrimination segment so small iron targets will be detected. I do this because small gold ear rings, chains and tiny gold jewelry will come in around 2, 4 or 6 and making the -2 segment detectable makes the tiny gold jewelry that comes in within that range clearer and less broken.
Gold jewelry will show up from just 2 up into the 20s. This means that if you really want to get the gold you are going to have to dig the foil, pull tabs and aluminum screw caps. That is just one of the facts of life when metal detecting. I use the 3 tone setting on my X-Terra 70, so while I occasionally get a low iron tone most of my tones are mid and high tones. The mid tone is where the gold jewelry and nickels come in and the high tone is where the silver jewelry, pennies and other coins show up.
I have attached a couple of pictures of a few of my jewelry finds. The tiny ones are examples that will come in down in the 2 to 6 range. The other picture is just a hand full of X-Terra 70 jewelry finds that came in over the full range that I mentioned.
