1952 gold ring, silver ring and earring April 26, 2014 09:31PM |
Used noise cancel #11, audio gain = 30 with the 18”x15” SEF coil, 13” Ultimate coil, Pro coil, and the Minelab 8” coil. Sensitivity level varied depending on coil.
Got in 3 days of detecting, 2 days at the beach, and the last at a park.
The 1st day, went to the beach and got a silver earring in the sandy area. The rocky area produced a lightweight 10k gold ring with the date “6-20-52”. It’s probably been out there for a while because of the typical 10k green blobs around the “eaten away” solder point at the back of the ring. At manual sensitivity of around 25, the ring face gave a strong signal in the rocks.
The 2nd day, hit the rocky area again for some more recently washed-in light weight gold jewelry trapped around the rocks. Wound up with 5 corroded wheat pennies and some other stuff.
On the 3rd day, went to a trash filled park and pulled out a silver ring.
Here’s the 10k 1952 gold ring, the silver ring and the silver earring. Too bad the stone isn’t real.
ID = inner diameter (in millimeters)
Procoil auto-sensitivity = 16
Rings air-tested with ring parallel to coil, unless otherwise noted
Here are some of the before and after cleaning photos.
Here are some of the not-so-glamorous finds.
Detecting since Feb, 2010
E-trac with 18"x15" SEF, 13" Ultimate coil, Pro coil, Minelab 8" coil, 4.5"x7" SEF, Sunray target probe
CTX3030 with 17"x13" DD coil, 11" DD coil
