That is impossible to answer because size of the item and the alloy mixed with the gold is infinitely variable. Could literally be anywhere from 4-40, but sweet spot should be around 8-20, right where the can slaw resides. At least with the HF coil you are more likely to not walk over gold and miss it now. Also if you have never found a necklace or bracelet you might want to find one and do some tests. Not so much for the ID number but the way it sounds from detecting individual links. I know you are hitting the beach a lot which makes your decision easier. DIG EVERYTHING!
Hi,
We do not have much 10 or 14k down here in Australia, its all 9k and 18k mostly.
I dig gold rings from 6 to 28
but as a rule....
9k = 6,8, 10 depending on the size and mass of the gold ring
18k = around 22, 24 " " " " " "
22k = 28, 30 " " " " " "
It really does depend on how chunky the ring is (gold mass) , purity (k)
the higher these are the higher the TID no's
good luck

I just posted about a part of a necklace I found. It came in, using the HF coil, right at 19 or 20. And it was an enameled piece with what looks like topaz I guess, stones. The metal looks like pot metal though it could be badly corroded silver. But it could have easily come up at 40. What the other guys are saying is correct. You will have to make your own tests and realize that it depends also on the composition of the metal and how long its been in the ground and how deteriorated it has become. Thats why I dig everything. More work, but am sure then of not passing over anything. Now, some things are easier to identify, such as bottle caps. I still dig them though because it could be a ring.
