Most white gold will come in in the Iron range depending on what metal they are alloyed with. So ya gotta dig a lot of hair pins and foil. Minelabs like the Excal and Sov GT don't do that but of course they are more $$$. Some Iron will be correctly id'ed with Iron Audio turned on. My AT Pro doesn't do this and thats another reason I won't use it. Also it can't see earring backs or studs.

Smaller gold can ring from the low 40s to 60s on the At Pro. Depends on the karat weight, size of band etc. I've dug most of my gold in the high 40s and high 50s.

Thanks man ima start digging em then

I dug a piece of what seems to be gold plated jewelry 12-24-12, it looks like a lawn mower got it at some time, it rang in the 40's @ 4in. now this was small about 1/8 wide and 1/4 long, when I finally separated it from the dirt it looked like gold, further investigation seems to be gold plated, also I found a piece of brass very small a few weekends ago that was the size of a small needle bearing, I have one of the newer AT Pro's, it is my understanding from those who have or got the older one's , are not satisfied with them and I can not blame them, it's like buying a car without a motor, but running this thing in Pro mode either custom or I prefer zero mode, it is sensitive, also when I ground balance in Auto, I'll back off 5 points or so, I'm still learning, so this is not professional advice at all, I can only speak and testify my experience so far...but it does ring in small objects,, also I use the 5x8 coil....

The only gold ring I have found with my AT Pro (have had it since July 12) rang out at exactly 50. It was a 2.5 gram 10k ring.

Very nice wher did u find it

 

[lookindown]

Ive got a 7 gram 14k white gold band that reads 52...I found a 5 gram 14k yellow gold cross that reads 42...the lowest gold Ive found is a 0.7gram hollow earring that reads 38...Ive got a 9 gram 10k yellow gold band that reads 76...gold has a wide range but most medium rings will be in the 50s...Ive got a handful of stud earrings found with the AT.

Anyone ever use their AT Gold/Pro to detect black sand? I've been doing a lot of thinking on this, and it seems legit that you could use the "Iron Audio" function to let out a nice low drone scream when you run over a thick wad of black sand. I know White's GMT lets you know, and I think the Gold Bug 2 does as well, as one of their functions is made to let out a holler when black sand's a foot.
Let me know what you all think, I'm very curious and will be checkin' back soon for answers!!!

It seems like it should. I've got the ATG. I'll have it next week and I'll try a wash that's got black sand in it. I'll let ya know. Makes sense that if concentrated black sand it should register. Has anybody ever tried this?

Dont be fooled by the atpro numbers or numbers from any machine for that matter, in the mid range. Which is to say, don't worry about numbers if you want gold rings. And quit trying to find gold rings, if that's your game. Not gonna happen but rarely. Unless you discover a long lost virgin beach or swim area, which is rare as hen's teeth. Stick to deep silver and copper, much better chance of that. If you insist on gold rings, dig it all, you might get lucky now and again, but numbers will have little to do with finding much gold.
