There are the numbers as of May 1 2026. Using hf2 coil select digging for nickels and potential junk and gold rings.

Alight,
Here are some numbers.
Using the ID behavior and using tone break feature behavior to call targets before digging.
These targets were all reporting in gold ring range using 29 kHz channel 0 (one hunt I used channel 1 on the detector.
Areas hunted were 2 parks, 1 playground adjacent to freshwater beach, 2 church yards, 2 house yards.

I rewatched all video last night of the in the wild hunts using this process calling targets as digger or no diggers.

A total of 201 targets located in gold ring range. Super high percentage of these targets were giving rock solid id when sweeping using the 29 kHz MF band.

156 of these failed. Meaning I called them no diggers for either a nickel or potential unbroken gold or junk ring.
No gold rings were found of these targets that failed. No junk rings were found either. Some partial corroded zincolns part of the failed targets.

45 passed.
I junk ring passed. Some square tabs, some pull rings with and without beaver tails.
Of all the nickels dug they all passed. Some can slaw was dug. One nickel that was dug was a 1943 war nickel. There were other nickels dug as well.
No gold rings dug.

Special note.
One Nickel was dug but failed yet ID behavior suggested possible nickel by way of id behavior. Use of single freq suggested possible ferrous masking hence tone break test failed. I showed this in camera. There were a few other detected targets I couldn’t rate due to potential masking as indicated by detector, these targets are not part of the 201 targets listed above.
A square tab was recovered where it failed due to masking exposed using singe freq. this tsrgrt could infact have been masked gold ring.

Could a person have used another model detector and did what I did above over these same buried targets? Hmm
IMO No!

PS
List above doesn’t not include targets outside of gold ring range.
I did dig a few higher conductors.

The videos the data is based on is available for all to watch.
Also keep in mind I did do some videos earlier only looking at ID behavior. This is before I discovered this behavior with Deus 2 using tone break using Multo tones. The targets located do this alone are not psrt of the targets listed above. Although I did like what I saw using just this process alone. Just not on square tabs and pull rings.
