there is a tonal difference between pulltabs and gold with certain machines -- the ear can hear it --if it knows what to listen for...

I kinda figured that...just haven't been able to put my finger on it yet.

use a old fashioned tracker IV by bounty hunter -- set the toggle mode on --disc mode == lower the disc to "0" --use a pull tab --slowly crank it up until the pull tab falls out of detection then use a gold ring -if the ring come in --fine --if not very lowly drop the disc level until the ring chimes in --STOP -- now wave the tab --it to will most likely ring up but he sound will not be crisp or clear but rather fuzzy or crackly .. the crisp and clear vs fuzzy and crackly is the sound difference hear..

Ok, now go get a smaller gold ring and see how it's totally blocked out. Go get a bigger, or different shaped pull tab, or a bent one and see how it comes in different from your first test piece. You CAN NOT ignore any low-conductor without blocking gold too.

I am going to air test 16 pieces of Gold i've found and look for VDI variations also.

Thanks for the 'fine tune' man!

Then disregard air testing and bury 16 types of gold at 16 different depths then with 16 different mineralizations and do the same with tabs... Might take awhile as 16 to the power of 3 x2 is gonna be a lot of holes. And I'm no math major btw.. 8192 holes if my dumbness doesn't prevail. Or just pull those damn tabs.

Or just dig them. I'm trying to think of pull tabs that I've found deeper than two or three inches and I can think of a few, but only a few. That's seriously a 10-20 second recovery, if that. For me, it takes longer to properly evaluate a shallow target like that than it does to get it out of the ground, so I just dig it up to save time. (Disclaimer: I'm only 38, and while I have my share of joint problems due to a somewhat impetuous youth, I can dig holes with the best of them.) Admittedly I tend to dig unless I'm absolutely sure that it's trash, as my main concern is ground covered/targets retrieved vs. time spent, time often being an issue. Not everyone likes to hunt this way.

Well said. I'm VERY much the same way except 41. 4 left knee surgeries, wrist, shoulder and elbow. .. I was a wild 20 yr old putting it mildly. .. We are at the park to dig so unless it's a clearly garbled signal DIG IT

 

[ivan salis]

good signals vs "crap signals" --- granted oh digging 1000's of crap signals will once in awhile turn up a nice a nice gold target but is it "time effective "-- if one ignored the crap signals and only focused on good signals --how many of those 1000 pulltab ---vs the say 800 good signals you have dug instead--- digging lots of crappy signals vs digging less but only good signals which will produce better finds in the long haul --time wize..?

 

[cudamark]

Possibly, but I've dug some small gold and platinum rings with BIG rocks in them that were down in the low foil range and scratchy. A few of those can really make up for digging some tabs. Now in a park, I agree, it's not worth the effort digging those thousands of "below nickel" signals, but, at the beach, just scoop and go on to the next one.

Gold? Gold is where you find it. Sports fields - Baseball; Soccer; Frisbee; Football. In parks near swings and slides where Mommies lose them playing with their toddlers, and in large open fields where folks throw and catch stuff. Jogging and walking paths where folks take off gloves, shake out their hands and lose necklaces. Private homes in back and front yards. Remember, gold is precious to folks so for the most part it is lost the least.
