Wildly Optimistic Question

[JunkShopFiddler]

Hey, all

Just out of curiosity, does anyone out there have the scoop on where US gold coins read on the AT Pro number scale. I don't own any US gold coins to air test. Yeah I know, it's an optimistic subject, butcha never know...Thanks in advance

I wish I could say I knew from personal experience, but I've seen others post that $1 gold coins were around 48 and larger coins / nuggets can go up into the 80s+.
Hope you can verify these!!

I'll let you know the VDI as soon as I find a gold coin at my honey holy...there just HAS to be one in there somewhere!!

You could always buy a gold coin and then test it for yourself !..that way you would know for sure what it reads

in different depths and conditions.

Let me know !

48 seems about right for a $1 gold coin. I have a quartz/gold nugget(purchased) with about that much gold in it, and it reads @ 48 at 4" air test.
My AT Pro is too low a frequency to be a "great" gold detector, but I have found one 14K small gold ring just a couple inches deep in Pro-Zero mode. It was 50-52.

1907 2 1/2 dollar indian head gold coin registers a solid 60 each time (air test). Tried it 5 times at different distances it did not vary 60 each time.
