F-75 LTD--what settings are best for just finding gold rings?

[Gilligan]

I am just curious and would like some advice from some seasoned F-75 LTD owners. If you are just looking for gold rings mainly, what settings do you personally use and what kind of success have you had? I know there may be a difference between beach hunting and land hunting. I am mainly concerned with land hunting and parks and the like. I also know that you will expect to dig alot of trash too. Thanks for your input.

There are no settings that just find gold rings. Many gold rings are in the same conductivity range as many pull tabs so if you disc out the pull tabs, you won't hear the 90% of the gold rings. The other 10% of the gold rings are in the foil and silver range and I have had a few of the ladies white gold rings ring up in Iron too. Since gold jewelry is alloyed with all kinds of metals the ID numbers will be all over the place.

Best I have found is turn descrim up to 15 and dig all foil and pull tab ID's. 2f tones dig all repeatable tones.

I'm pretty close. I run at a discrimination of 6 and 2F tones, and, like Stoopstroop said, dig anything near a nickle reading. Foil usually falls apart pore if you "X" the target. But, a gold ring on edge or with a large head may also. There is no free lunch for digging only go rings and no foil or pull-tabs.

Thanks for the responses. I will take the advice. Just have to dig, dig, dig.

Don't know if it will help you, but I just got my F-75-black from Big Boy's last Friday, so I am real new to it just coming off a MineLab Explorer II.
I got called out to find a gold ring for a guy tomorrow, so I took 3 gold rings out in the yard tonight. Two of them 14k and one 10k. I was using the factory settings and one 14k and one 10k both rang at a solid 28. The larger 14k was bouncing all over from the mid 20's to mid 50's.

Like I said, I am new to this machine but thought it might help.

Thanks alot. Guess I have been too lazy to gather some gold rings and do a test myself. I was just thinking that you could knock out the high and low numbers, like bqased on what you said, knock out 27 and lower and 51 and higher and just dig everything and come up with some more rings and not deal with anything outside the range you set....I know you would miss some good stuff, but increase the odds that you will find more jewlery....Thanks for your input!

This may be a stupid F75 newbee question.

I read above Stoopstroop comment:

Best I have found is turn descrim up to 15 and dig all foil and pull tab ID's. 2f tones dig all repeatable tones.

My question is, if you are looking for stuff like "Gilligan" is, using Stoopstroops settings, would it be best to be in the "Je" process ? or does that make any real difference ?

That is a good question

JE turns on a special "boost" process or higher gain. Gets more sensitive.
