Pull tab to gold ratio will vary with the likelyhood of location to hold gold. I don't bother to run low tones in unlikely locales. But with an increase in likely hood like at beaches or playgrounds I will run low tones. other good locales is old homesteads, mountains where gold has been found before, Places that have yeilded allot of silver. These places that have already yeilded allot of silver indicates virgin soil and I will switch to include low tones after having cleaned most of the site. A gold coin is still on my want list after many years of this, but gold rings are pretty common, although not as common as I would like.

Years ago I kept detailed records that show I was getting a gold ring for every 1,000 pulltabs on average. Most of this was inland, with maybe 5% digging at the waters edge locations.

I wish they never invented the pull tab in the first place. Years back Coors came out with a push tab that was like a button you pushed down to open the beverage. I thought what a fantastic idea no more pull tabs some day and it worked perfectly; what happened it never caught on. The new pull tabs have me perplexed; You have to work at it to get it off and people still throw them around. Mindset? Piglets?

That's alright Chong2, I've never in my fifty years been able to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop !

Ok here's a shot, I just started detecting about a month ago. I have since dug 32 pull tabs, but like so many other newbs I started walking right over them when the X-70 showed a garbage number on the Target ID. I haven't found any gold rings yet either, but since reading all of the posts, I have decided like chong to dig all signals that are solid in the pultab range. I will try to let everyone know how it goes.

Awesome, with a newbie doing the challenge we'll have minimum number that has to be pretty close to accurate. No offense Keverett, just mean if you as a newbie find gold after say 500 tabs then we can expect a more experienced person to find gold at say 300 tabs.

I'll take a crack at it too and let you know what I find out. I don't get out very often but I'm determined to find gold. So I'm going to start digging all of the pull tab and nickel sounds as well as the higher end 14k gold sounds (which I haven't heard in the field yet). I've dug about 20 pull tabs so far but could have easily dug more the last time out. I got frustrated and decided to go to full discrimination so that I would only get signals on coins. After doing so I found one quarter and five bottle caps!

But I'm up for the challenge! I'll let you all know how it goes. Being a newbie I'm starting with a clean slate. I'm going to keep hitting the same site until I find something of value.

It might be time for you to consider doing at least a little "RESEARCH" ! After all you can't find it if it has never been there. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,119023.0.html

BTW just so everyone's clear any gold will do, rings, coins or even nuggets or dust.

well with my ace 250 it took me 2 months of dig it all going every week end for 2 -3 hours before (say 8 weekends at 3 hours --24 digging hours--god know how many tabs / trash items )--- finally I hit a tiny paper thin kiddie ring "marked " 10 K mexico ---at a play ground area--it came in under foil ( honestly wasn"t expecting gold I had found some change in the area and was cleaning up the trash stuff while looking for coins ) --- gold is hard to find gotta dig lots of trash normally to get gold due to the overlap -between gold items and trash items -conductivity wize

Re: how many tabs does it take to get to GOLD? lets find out 03/10/08

With the take this weekend, the total is up to 65 pulltabs with no ring yet.

The second target I ever dug was a gold necklace. The first was a penny. So, it takes two times to find gold! Of course I thought this detecting was going to be easy money. I musta' dug for another year before I found a gold ring and it was at a beach! I don't think you can do it this way! Monty
