prizm II

[james]

I have a prizm II and have done pretty well with it finding coins. I have been to a few parks and have done ok with finding the coins. There is small town park that was has been there since late 1800's. The park was closed in 1979 and a new park added in a new location. I have found a few older coins but have found no jewelry in any of the parks. My question is do most rings show as a nickel on the prizm II and if so does the indicator stay on the nickel or does it bounce around from the nickel to the penny indicator. I get a repeating signal but not sure in need to check all repeating signals even if land on the tab indicator.Thanks for your responses.

The bulk of the gold rings I have found will ID somewhat similar to smaller foil, medium foil, nickels, and pull tabs. I have found two that were 24K and Id'ed like a penny/dime.

Most silver rings seem to fall in the upper pull tab range thru the screw cap range and on up the the penny/dime and quarter segments for the larger ones.

If you're serious about finding good jewelry, such as gold and silver rings and pendants and chains, you need to select the sites most likely to produce jewelry loss, then hunt them patiently and thoroughly, and do so with your discrimination set no higher than iron nail rejection .... and DIG EVERY BEEP!

Don't waste your time with Target ID. Just rely on a low discrimination setting to barely reject most nails and dig it all. You'll be surprised what you'll find.

And make sure you do not sweep that Prizm too fast! It is a slow-motion detector that will lose a lot of performance and responsiveness if you're sweeping it too quickly.

Good Luck!
