Ok ... Found thru experiments in my test garden

All rings tested at 5" - clay / sandy loam
Dry and damp conditions

Settings :
Sensitivity : 88
Ground balance auto set then two pad button pushes (+) positive
Disc set : 50

Ring 1- thin gold band (size 8) 14k
Ring 2- med. gold initial ring. 14k
Ring 3 - large class ring 14 k

Dry with grass

Ring 1: target id (39-40) solid to one pass tone ( target engaged when 90 degree resweep)
Ring 2 : target id (57-58) solid lock
Ring 3 : target id ( 80-82 ) part lock but stable

Wet soil : I purposely watered soil then waited 2 hours before detecting area

Ring 1 : ( 45-48)
Ring 2: (58-59) very close to lousy pull tab lock id number

Note: when target signal is very clean sounding (from all angles) I dig in this range

Ring 3: (84-85) some (90) locking...... tones change a little but repeatable

Forget waving rings in front of loop , check in the ground.

I buried these rings a year ago and put my machines thru the paces,nobody knows where they are except me. :)

I like your test , nice to see someone posting some data on the Omega,I normally do not dig the 40's that the foil range if I not mistaken.I may have to rethink that but there is so much foil in the ground.It becomes a real pain.Anyways nice to see that ring 2 and 3 do fall in to the range I do normally dig. Keep on posting.
