This is why you need to dig everything. A solid 40 on the vdi this is the third time I've dug gold reading between 30 and 40. I didn't believe it at first the clasp was to big to be gold turns out it's marked. My normal cut off is 45/47 ish this was solid 40/42 99.99% of the time foil or one of those plastic metal seals that read a perfect 41. If u want to find gold dig well below a nickel signal.

Point taken. I usually ignore most below 42 because its always been trash or iron.

AMEN MBC, The older I get with my ATPro, the more this is true. Then those 40's tones are solid and without a "buzz halo", you should dig the item. I have found several gold rings now in those signals! Congrats on a nice pile of gold. Sub 8-)
