MXT and gold rings

[jrcjrc]

I have the mxt and the eclipse 6X10 coil. When you guys find gold rings is it a real solid hit and what numbers do you normally get on the VDI?.

Most of mine have read as a nickel. 18-20 VDI.

Thanks for that info. Does your display bounce around between numbers when you find one?

With the V3i which has the same VDI's the gold rings I have found have all hit on 22, all 3 frequencies lined up perfectly and a solid hit. All 3 rings were also the approx same size. Anyone find a large gold class ring with a Whites? What VDI does the big gold usually come in as?

The VDI is pretty solid like a good coin hit however the VDI it comes in at depends on the size of the ring and what karat the ring is 10,12,14,18, I dug a thick 10k band last year that came in at 50VDI which I was discriminating out the low numbers at the time and dug it thinking it was an IH. Like said most will be a lower VDI as most aren't very thick and I'm sure being 10k made a difference with others metals mixed with the gold to make it 10k and it being that thick of a band. HH

Found a nice gold ring this year in the 13-14 range, I also found a small silver earing in that range last night. Mi girls gold ring is in the singal digets, so you never know till you dig.

Thanks everyone for your input on gold rings. Dig em all I guess is best. Practice makes perfect. With my MXT I am thinking about a bigger coil to cover more ground. I have eclipse 6x9 and the stock 950. I don't really know what would be best but don't want to miss gold rings. Any input on this?1

Both would work fine. Larger coils have better depth, smaller coils have better separation in trashy areas.
