Whoopty doo :biggrin:

found this today Outlaw and 7" DD coil.

Whoopty doo you might think and yeah no big deal but it hit hard was in the dirt not the grass, 2 reasons it made me smile 1 I am not missing small gold and 2 I am looking in the right spot.

not sure how many machines would smash this and my scales are a bit on the high side so its probably just under .3 of a gram pretty impressed myself.

small earing 925.

I have a small loop earring like that, 10kt gold.
It is one item I save in my testing box to check out detectors I have or buy.
Most machines will pick it up as long as you don't disc out iron. These and other small gold trinkets and chains will usually fall in the iron range. If you have a target ID machine you will see these
will come in at right around the break point of ferrous and non-ferrous. As you approach foil disc, you will no longer pick these targets up. I found this hoop while using my PI, it was only 1" under the dirt.

I had a 14kt gold cross 1" high, it would not ID in the ferrous range. If "0" was the break point, it would ID at -1 to -5 for example. Gave off a low tone.
Yes it tested to be 14kt at the gold buyers. The only reason I found it was it was attached to a chain with two other gold medallions that registered in the gold range.
Knowing that, you begin to wonder how much gold you are actually walking over because your not digging iron.

yep I agree Sven with the small gold , like that size and chains if there is not much iron around I will set outlaw at min and always run it line above min, sure is a lot of junk in that range but that's like you said where the fine gold and chains live.

I know on the F19 chains come in the iron range I mean you know an average small gold chain and yes having pendants attached is the usual way they get found I have found a few that way and so chain hunters are well pretty crazy gold rings are hard enough, but I have a park to pull some nails and chains out of maybe I am nuts anyway do it next winter I think

its an interesting hobby/sport isn't it !!

when I said small gold I meant small round gold and big chains small stuff well yeah iron man
