Looking to make some test targets to bury, I have a GPX-5000 for reference. What coins could I use to best emulate gold? Nickels? Aluminum tabs?
I'm with Terry. Lead, for a given weight, is much closer to gold, for size, than aluminum. It's also close enough as far as conductivity. Nickel is good, too, though the density problem is still there.

With the power induction, it's the cross section threw the changeing magnetic field and the resistance of the conductor what metters, rather then the density of the material the conductor is made of.
