Yesterday I put my 14KT gold chain on the ground and passed my MD over it I got. A sold 45 with the chain stretched out in discriminat mode and nothing with it all ballad up but a 15 to 25 I all metal mode . So of I go to the beach looking for jewelry I need to be in all metal mode ? what do you think is the best way to search for jewelry like chang and rings

dusty, if you do forum-word-searches on "gold chains", you will find other posts on this subject. Finer/smaller/thinner gold chains (especially tinsel-thin fine dainty ones) are a bear to pick up. This is because the machine is trying to see them as individual links. You'd have to scrunch the links up REAL tight in a ball (or melt them all together), to have them read as a singular solitary object.

It depends on the size and weight of the gold chain in question. You want to post a pix of it? Because bigger "Mr. T" style gold chains won't give as much problems. Because the individual links are sizable enough. But yes, for dainty fine chains, you might have to go all-metal. Gold rings and such don't pose the same problem.

That's why a lot of people dig all signals, the small gold doesn't read very well sometimes.
