HI Everyone, I could use some help on what numbers I should be looking for to find 2 Gold/Diamond rings, I tested my wife's and got 12-11, 11-11, 13-11 so just looked for xx-11 signals, I did not want to dig up her whole yard, am I on the right track? She lost them about 2 years ago.
I'd dig everything with a Co number under 20 personally. Another thing, unless there's been dirtwork, I'd lower your sensitivity to about 10 as well. They shouldn't be too deep. This is how I'd approach it at this time.
There are several factors that will change the FE/CO readings, so you cannot just dig an XX-11 signal . The size of the ring, what KT the ring is, the ground conditions, whether there is any other targets close to the ring. Gold rings normally hit anywhere from 11 thru 13 on the FE scale, but could hit from 04 thru 34 on the CO scale. You could setup a pattern to disc out everything but the numbers provided and have a good chance on finding them.
Thanks for the tips, I have never just gone out with one and only one target in mind, this in a normal grass yard, today I dug large pull tabs, she says the rings are 14K, and I am guessing a size 10 or 11 sorta of a normal womans finger size. I will try to figure out some kind of pattern.
By now the rings will have gone to 3 or 4 inches depth if the ground has not been disturbed, if they are 14 k then dig all that are low medium tone 9 FE to 13 FE and 08 to 24 CON .
At around 3 or 4 inches they will be loud and sound like a pulltab . You wont have to use a spade to dig just use a digging tool to dig next to the target making a split in the lawn then use a probe to find the ring .Though that depends how hard the ground is and if she cares about the grass.
