I primarily hunt with my focus first on the tones produced by the ATP. If I get a tone in the good range I pass it over the target a few more times and listen to the tone and look at the VDI. I then use my Mark 1 computer (brain I sometimes use) and determine should I dig or not. Depending on the areas I am digging I decide if it is a good signal to dig. Obviously pull tabs, ring tabs, and such do indicate a few things about the area I am about to dig. #1 if I get two pull tabs that means people were likely sitting there, same with bottle caps and that brings me to #2 did they spill coins or rings or jewelry. I search the area more rather than quickly walking on to the next target. Since I usually walk beaches being close to the ocean it is one means of locating spots where people were seated. Usually beaches show marks, but sometimes after a few days no marks are left. I obviously both dry hunt and wet sand/surf hunt. My ring finds have all but 5 come in the wet sand to surf zone. I dig whatever I hear that is good. I rarely refuse to dig pop tabs as I have found 7 rings on the dry areas. Those park areas I hunt have a mixture of signals and I usually use a small sniper coil and don't dig as many pop tabs for the areas around the tables and benches. I use the NEL Hunter coil to sniff out the larger areas. Most of the Rings I have found on the beaches or access paths to the beaches. I have yet to score any jewelry at the tot lots and parks. I do need to find some basketball courts in the parks. I have quite a bit of change in the parks, but looks like other metal detectorists have got the jewelry first. I have found a fair amount of clad quarters, modern nickels, dimes and pennies, but also a little bit of silver coins in areas other detectorists missed. I do hunt in the rain as long as there is no lightening and it isn't muddy or a deluge. I guess that and the VDI are the main differences between the Tesoro and AT Pro and weight as well. I use a sling to not have to bother with sitting the ATP down which is handy, though negated when I kneel to dig in grass or hard packed dirt. I hope someday to get lucky and find that big chain or ring at the parks or playing fields. GL & HH! Oh I realized I forgot to say all the Rings I have found have been with the NEL Hunter coil. It has paid for itself many times over and I highly recommend it as a great mixture of depth and weight!

Very informative..will dig everything now! Thanks bro! I have learned thru the years that the alien metals used changes the numbers in gold items but another big change is mineralization being different in areas will always bring numbers down. For instance, a nickel next to a quarter on my Explorer in that instance will bring the 28 quarter say down to a 25-27 depending how much iron mineralization. A square nail near gold or silver will bring the number down also. Numbers are usually lower in the ground on the dominant item. Grammy do you feel this is correct in this as I do?

@@Anthem-nd8sh it's likely that we all do. I don't dig signals in the 40s unless I'm in areas that I think jewelry is likely to be lost. It would be impossible to always dig those types of signals. But in a tot lot or in a sports area, you probably have to. My limit is about 42 since 40-42 here is often a balled up gum foil.

@GrommyLommy6 жыл бұрын
Haha, no costume jewelry in that lot. Most of them have been straightened/polished at a jeweler and some of them have even been sized to fit my finger. My wife's wedding ring is 18k and comes in at about a 46 on the AT pro. A small piece of aluminum comes in in the 40s - 50s (canslaw and pulltabs) but an entire aluminum can will be up in the low 80s. 82-84 is copper penny or a clad dime on the AT pro and I've got some silver rings that come in around that range (82-84). Your 18k ring that comes in high might be an unusual alloy but the numbers I've shown are pretty consistent with other videos like this (people running gold under their AT Pro coils).

well, I'll believe my jeweler on these particular rings being real but most also have easily researched makers marks. I do find my share of plated stuff, even one marked 18k on the day I found the sapphire ring. If they've been in the ground long enough it's not really hard to tell that they are plated, even gold filled rings look really bad after being dug. Plated jewelry wouldn't really survive being resized either. The tiger eye ring is 14k and had the band repaired with 10k when I found it. When I got it repaired I had the 10k bit replaced with 14k when I got it sized. I do ID the fake rings and there's a separate video showing many of them. I just don't agree with you that the only way to ID real gold jewelry is by destroying it.
