ace 250

I`m thinking of detecting around the creeks near reeds gold mine in NC around the 4th of July, does anyone know what the detector will register when it finds pure gold instead of 14kt.gold / Nickels?

depends on size and depth

The better quality the gold it should register higher on the meter. I'm not sure exactly, do some tests with different jewelry if you can and you'll see what I mean.

Mostly around pull tabs mine registers pulltab for 18k higher for higher karats lower for lower karats

MD is right on where gold would register on a meter. If you aren't getting a sound on pull tabs, you won't on gold either, even 100%. But a lot depends on depth too. For finding nuggets an ACE 250 is a poor choice as it has not adjustable ground balance nor gain control. Larger nuggets are not out of the question and would be found with an ACE.

Good Luck
