The sweet spot on the detector coil is at the tip. When you have it in pinpoint mode and you go back and forth, as soon as you come off the target, that's where the item is. Also, a solid 12 is a nickel, 11-12 is beavertail, 13-16 is pull tab, 21-25 is copper penny, 17-18 is bottle cap or can be junk jewelry. Low tones like 5-10 can be gold but 8-10 can also be foil or can slaw.
Love the socks

Great to know thanks! I’ll be taking it back out of the closet for summer detecting so I’m excited to practice again
hey wildez its osh, nice hunting
On the beach I would use it on jewelry mode and yeah I would dig up the low numbers for sure because sometimes its gold 14 and lower
Thanks for the tip!
7 to 11 is kind of a sweet spot, but gold can be on either side those numbers depending on what metal its alloyed with
@@daviddavey1727 I see I’ll keep a keen eye on 7-11 for the sweet spot, thanks for the tip!
