Gold mode is paying off once you get the hang of it. Single mode using 20 kHz in ferrous setting works good also.

what is this gold mode you speak of

So Tripple-SSS you are using the gold mode when detecting your local parks and you are finding it does better than Park mode? Can you elaborate on this?

Hi, you have 4 different settings modes, 1- park..2- field..3-beach..4-gold. The gold factory setting was set up to find very small items like gold nuggets with either 20 or 40 kHz. This will pick up very fine gold items like chsins etc…. I know that the Legend is a multi frequency detector utilizing all the frequencies but will not work on those very tiny items unless in the gold setting designed for small gold. Another way to pick up those items would be to run the detector in a single frequency, 20 or 40 kHz in the other modes. I also found out that if you set your discrimination to 6, you pick up more fine items. One of the biggest reasons that folks don’t find jewelry and rings is that they get tired of digging those pull tabs and foil signals and just pass those items up. 95-98% of those pull tabs and foil #s will be exactly that. You pretty much have to dig those pull tab VDI #s, if you don’t , your not likely to find that many gold rings.
Run some air tests on your gold rings and you will see that 90% of them fall into the pull tabs VDI range which will be less than 35.
Hope this helps.
PS. You have to be patient and swing your doctor slower when using the Gold setting, does take some practice.

One more thing, I only use the Gold setting in certain areas with the highest foot traffic areas.

Hi, It is the gold setting to the very top right of the screen.

Thanks Triple-SSS for your answer. I will try your technique and see if it wakes up some parks I have hunted. Swing it slow.
