Silver works but gold is better!! Have you tried it on some different gold rings to make sure nothing is discriminated out? Hope you see some yellow soon.

I want to see some quality pull tabs...

Anybody can find gold, but a '63 tab- now that's a true relic.

Yep, the CTX LOVES silver, but it will find the gold too. Just be sure to dig everything from CO-01 and up!

I have been a person of "no change" once I set the CTX up. Today I changed from auto 3 to full 30 in manual and put it on ferrous coin. Got a few things that I may of missed other wise. Tomorrow I'll hunt once again. Cant seem to grasp using relic mode. Tones are just plain weird. I usually hunt in beach/low trash/auto 3/ full vol/saltwater on/deep on/fast recovery off/pitch hold... gold tones and silver are high pitch/pennies and aluminum are low tones. Then I just pull based on numbers.
Trying to play with different settings to see just how sensitive and how deep I can get her. She already goes deeper than I really care to dig. I can pull a bobby pin in wet thick clay at the beach at 24"....
