You have a metal detector that detects the presence of gold, copper or silver? Cool. Mine just detects relative conductivity and can tell is metal is ferrous or not; but not what it is.

A picture would help.

Pottery glazes contain metal: cobalt blue, iron oxzide gives a shiny brown to a red color (copper gives an orange/red), tungsten gives white. Adding lead makes it shinier.

This is an antique jug that uses lead and iron oxide for the glaze.
