[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 1552859, member: 16269"]Cool finds! The trick with finding gold is to dig everything. Gold, being an alloy give a "scattered" signal response which sounds like junk. If you have a digital readout on your detector, gold will fall anywhere along the scale depending on the karats and the size. I've found thin gold chains that read as foil and the largest ring (my avatar) read as nickel. There's no real easy way to find gold. As I said, you have to dig everything and listen and watch the responses on your machine. Here's a few of my gold finds: A large 10k ring: [IMG]http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/newavat2.jpg[/IMG] A 14k watch chain: [IMG]http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/aep17chn1.jpg[/IMG] A 16" 22k gold chain (tested as 22k - sold it for $1,000 as scrap)- [IMG]http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/nov16gldchn1.jpg[/IMG] An 18k ring: [IMG]http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/nov21rng1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/nov21rngkk.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
