I was recently hunting on the beach getting really annoyed digging 15-16 VDI's only to dig pop-top after pop-top and an occasional pull tab. I had read many accounts of 14 k rings being found in that range but after many hours and hundreds of pop-tops.pull tabs I was close to notching out that range and calling others claims as BS. Low and behold my next target was a solid 16 and a smooth mid-tone and out pops a 7 gram wide band wedding band 14 k. Needless to say I will be digging many more pop-tops and pull tabs

Since I have gotten my 800 I have dug probably close to 1,000 pull tabs. My local lake park is littered with them. I have put areas into grids and have dug everything. It has been amazing the coins hiding in among all the tabs. I have yet to dig my first gold ring with my 800 even after bending over a few thousand times. Persistence pays off!

Hence the reason gold can be so elusive as it reads same numbers as garbage...most the gold I dig in water comes in @ 1,2 or 3 because I mostly dig earrings.. like Laplander mentioned the gold will often give a smooth signal except odd shaped things like crosses or triangle shaped earrings...

If you are digging lots of tabs on a beach, that is a good sign that nobody has scooped up the gold rings yet!

Also if digging alot of tabs try moving towards the water or towards the back of beach. If you start digging nickels, quarters and fishing weights a lot of times that is where gold rings may be.

I always carry a couple of different Gold rings just to remind me what the signal is on my 800. Last week I threw one of the rings which is in a small plastic envelope down on the beach just to remind me of the tone and a few moments later further up the beach I had the same signal which turned out to be what was left of a small gold ring.
