Gold at CTX 12:37 or 12:42/43?

[lawsonland]

Just curious has any CTX user ever found gold in the penny numbers 12:37 or 12:42/43?
If so what type and do you have a photo? Tired of digging pennies.
Thanks

Me personally no but I have seen a few large gold class rings found that hit in the 12-37 range. This is only my personal preference but in the water I dig any and all targets that are above iron except bottle caps as the CTX is great at identifying those.

Yes, large men's gold rings in the zinc cent range.

I found a gold ring at 12:35 but it was a soild 12:35 and lower (12:03) - just found a nice one at 12:10.
Never anything good at specificly 12:37, 12:42 or 12:43. But if someone has I'll keep diggin them.
Thanks

It's the nature of the beast, gold jewelry that is. It can be mixed with a number of metals and in various amounts, i.e., 8,910,14,18, etc. So in many cases the other metal can be the dominate metal, the item's shape, depth, angle in the matrix, and even halo effect also effecting returns. Those who are trying to cherry-pick gold items probably never have found gold items out of their targeted ranges for that reason. Gold can, and will, register almost anywhere on the scale.

I never used to dig in the penny range until one day when there were very few targets. After digging several pennies I got a 9 gram 14k band at 12:37. Makes me wonder how much gold I've skipped over. I dig the penny numbers now.

I agree 100 % with bigscoop…… Gold on land or in the water, can ring up almost any number depending on K, size, shape or if near another metal...

Some days ya just gotta dig it all.

Unfortunately, VDI is only useful when there is some consistency in the targets being pursued, such as coin shooting where there is consistency in shape and alloy content, and/or when hunting permissions where holes have to be limited. But with gold jewelry there just isn't that consistency.
