GTi 2500

[shibumi]

Hi everyone I am new to this hobby and love it I have two detector ace 250 and gti 2500 on sunday I found 2 wheats 1917 D and a 1937, 1906 indian head penny,1918 buffalo nickel,1912 V nickel, 1919 S merc dime, 1907 lib quarter, 1918 D standing lib quarter,and a 1863 larger british penny. Best day I have ever had hunting. The site is a old farm house built in the 20's before that there was a old mansion that burned down there. I was using my GTI 2500 in coin mode and the custom mode set to accept 3-12 sensitivity at 7.5. Now because of the time frame of the current house and the prior one there could be gold coins floating around the property. Has anyone ever found any with there gti 2500? If so what should I be looking for on the display number wise and on the size guage. I normal dig B, and C targets. Any advice would be helpful thank you very much.

i have never found a gold coin with my 2500 but i would imagine that a really small gold dollar might ring in as an A size target. most gold coins are rather small. as far as what it would ring in as, im fairly sure it would be in the pulltab, foil range.

Right you are HollowPointed. Most older coins can ring up anywhere on the screen depending even on their orientation in the ground or if they are very near another target. The gold coins your likely to run across would read where foil and pull tabs would read.

Trust the meter, lose some goodies.

well guys thanks for the insite I apperricate it. Sorry that I dont have any pics. the camera I use show the coins very distorted. I detect at that site on sunday ond one near by it on saturday and now I can add a 1911 canadian silver 10 cent coin, 1881, 1900, 1904 indian head penny, 1916 D and 1941 wheatie. I bought a 5.00 lib on saturday it reads at #6 on the scale so you guys know granted and it would flucuate between b and c granted it might be quit different in the ground after a 100 years but just thought I would mention that. By the way it was a 1899 S cost 185.00 the lady behind the counter didnt see the price because the pencil marks were faded. So I did the right thing and told her that it was 185.00 she was happy thanks many times for being honest. I didnt want to seeher have to pay for it or get fired. Not to mention the bad karma the metal detecting gods would rain down on me. Thanks for the info good hunting.
