Would you dig a 10 on the M-6 ??????

Sorry that these are not very good pictures, the ring looks better than it does in the pics. Once out of the ground it read 14. It was 7" deep and it is 14kt gold.The M-6 and the 5.3 coil are a great combo. This was from a area that had been hunted by several people and several good units. I like this unit, just have to learn it..HH..BJ

Actually its low foil and unless the park is loaded with foil would be a digger especially that deep as foil does not fall deep..from using various Whites probably 8-20 is the hot spot for womans thin gold rings with nice stones....Don't know exactly where a nickle comes in on a M6 but 18 to 22 on an XLT or MXT and of course not many gold rings fall in dead nickle but my wife has a nice mothers ring that does and of course a nickle is always a digger anyway..Nice find BJ and don't care what anyone says rings hit harder and a 7 incher even in the tab area is a digger also...

Thats a great find and good looking ring BJ. Got my M6 a couple months ago and the 5.3 only a few weeks ago. I don't usually dig those really low numbers thinking they are iron peices. But you bet I will after reading you guys postd. Thnaks all

...that the VDI doesn't always tell you what the target is, it just gives you a "probability" based on conductivity. If you use it to decide whether a target is worth digging or not you will leave a lot of good stuff in the ground. The deeper a target is, the way it sits in the ground, ground mineralization, etc. all effect the VDI. It only took me about 15 years to figure this out. I can't imagine how much stuff I've left behind.

I like to hunt in zero disc no mater what unit that I am using.
I have seen 2 barber dimes read as zink in and out of the ground.
This is a old site, for us,so you have to dig everything above iron.
This site has a lot of iron and rusty nails in it, it is a old site with modern trash in it also.HH...BJ

Depends on the area as some areas are littered with those foil inside of bottle caps that should be pretty close to low foil and of course on a beach I dig all even into the iron range for chains and gold earrings...Expect a lot of digging but also a gold ring now and then...Again whatever works and if you have a good ID unit should be able to find the several nuisance tabs and avoid that number. One trip to a park and you should know right away, matter of fact several parks I go to have a record of the nuisance tabs and leave them even though I could miss a ring as it keeps me off my knees which to me is harder than swinging even the heaviest detector...
