If salt is 0, then the negative numbers can't be the ferrous range, since salt reads higher than a lot of small non-ferrous. So wither salt reads higher than 0, or you better be digging down to around -20 minimum to be recovering small non-ferrous.
What would be the advantage to having a negative 99 ID range? I've never hunted a saltwater beach with the Nox, where does salt read or does it?

Just read something interesting Tom Dankowski just posted on his site. "Something I want to clarify.... that Mark Lawrie stated in the YouTube video: The ID system is on a scale of 99 points. So is the scale of iron ID range! -99 to 0. (Negative 99 to 0). (((Salt ID's as '0'))). This is to say: Nearly a 200-point ID span."

Looks like it's using the GPX 6000 Headphones
I hope they include a headphone module, I use earbuds 90% of the time.

Evidently Minelab USA in Chicago has no knowledge of it?
As a 25 yr dealer and yet not a word from USA or our managers or our Marketing folks. Wow has things sure changed....😒
Minelab Australia really did a good one.
They sure kept the lid on this mighty tight.

Looks like Minelab has labeled it Multi-IQ +, what do ya'll think?

I appreciate everybody's time and input concerning this matter. Here is an update. I wanted to clear my conscience and make a concerted effort to reunite the ring with its rightful owner. So, I contacted A&M again. I was told by the person on the other end of the line that they had sent multiple emails and they had tried calling the number on file. The lady said that they were getting a voicemail full or not set up. She suggested that I send the ring to them and they would hold it until they were able to make contact. I told her that I wasn't willing to do that. She asked me why not? I told her I wanted to make personal contact with the owner and that that's the way I've done it with other rings that I found. She didn't sound too happy about that remark. So on my way to town I got to thinking, why haven't they tried sending the guy a text message. So I called back again, and asked the lady if they tried sending him a text message. She said no they were unable to send a text message because all they had there were landlines. In my mind I'm thinking, you guys are college graduates and you can't figure out to send a text message on a personal phone. I told her I wanted to text the guy and ask her if I could have the phone number. She gave me the phone number and I tried making contact and got the same results that they did. I sent a text with no response. On my way home I got a phone call from A&M, come to find out they were able to get a hold of his mother and he had a new number. I sent a text to the new number and within 20 seconds I got a phone call from the owner. The guy was over the moon that I had actually found his ring. He gave me the story and he told me the exact park where he was and the circumstances in which the ring was lost. Come to find out they were sending emails to his college email which he never uses and he had changed his phone number. The ring is now on its way back back to the owner, case closed. I damn sure am going to use a little bit more discretion next time I find a massive ring like that. Lesson learned. -
I figured I would come here to get y'all's opinion on what I should do about a ring that I found. 5 weeks ago I found a large Texas A&M University class ring. I spent three days searching the internet trying to find the owner. I came across a department at A&M for lost and found class rings. I sent an email with all the pertinent information first. After 3 days I went back to the website and found a phone number. I called the phone number and talked to a lady there and gave her all the information again and she said she would do what she could to find the owner. A week later I received an email asking for some more information. It's now been 3 weeks since I had the last contact with A&M. What is a reasonable amount of time to wait before I declare the ring unclaimed? My wife says that in her opinion they weren't able to contact the owner. It's a huge 10 karat class ring. I appreciate any and all opinions, thanks.

This is how I tell the difference 🙂 Didn't find any gold last hunt....
-
The only way to tell is dig the target.

We have been at 112F for the high most of the week here in Texas along with drought conditions......I still go out and hunt until I give out.

Man, that was a nice productive hunt. Congratulations on hitting a handful of keepers.

Just a heads up if you can't find the owner and decide to melt. Send to Mid-west. The reason is they buy gold out right if you send in less than 3oz. So no matter what "K" you send in they pay you for 12k. And I believe they charge 5% for the service. I found out after a few send in's.. So the melt on 33 grammer is 12k/.500 (Not 10k as stamped)
Also, Great hunt!! Wow!
Awesome, thank you very much for the information!!

Great hunt with some very nice finds for your trouble.
Just how hard is it to locate the rightful owner of the rings, and what do you do with them if nobody claims them.
Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there.
Thank you very much for your kind words. It's rather easy using Google and Facebook to track people down these days. I've had a couple of class rings that I just could not find the owner. I usually sell them for scrap gold.

With the weather extremely hot and dry here in Central Texas. I've been hanging around the rivers and the lakes taking advantage of the low water levels. Last few times out I haven't had to get into the water because there's so much exposed ground to hunt. I hit two different swim beaches yesterday and they both paid off in a big way. First place, I wasn't 30 minutes in when I got a 25 on the equinox. I was expecting to dig either a copper penny or clad dime. I almost fell over when I saw it in the sand. This was my second class ring in 2 weeks. The first one was tungsten or stainless and I was able to return it the same week that I found it. This one turns out to be a Texas A&M college class ring weighing an impressive 33g. I should be able to track the owner down fairly easy. The second beach I had to spend two and a half to three hours before I finally found a 9 g platinum ring. which rang up at 10 on the Nox. On the inside it says My Forever 11- 10- 18. I was able to add a little silver to the day by coming across a Mercury dime. After 7 1/2 hours in the heat I finally had to give it up and head back to the house. I dug a lot of holes but it was very rewarding at the end of the day. That cold beer never tasted so good 🙂

Thanks guys!!!!

Was able to get out yesterday and hunt a couple of different rivers. I had to pay my dues today though. I dug a lot of trash for several keepers. First place I dug up a lot of lead and a silver toe ring. On the way home from the first stop, I hit a crossing and was able to come across a 14k wedding band and a pet crematory tag which is a first for me.

I'm surprised EMI was a problem with the coil underwater.
I have the same problem with the Equinox at this spot. There are high transmission lines on either side of the river. Even running a single frequency, I still get some chatter.

Dan, a great water hunt. It's nice getting in the water when it's hot out and even nicer getting gold & silver too.
Thank you, we've been running at 100+ for the last week or so here in central Texas.

With all this hot weather, I decided it was time for my first water hunt of the year. It turned into a very productive hunt
I was using the Legeñd with my Blu3 Nemo setup hunting in chest deep water. The first hour and a half was the usual, bottle caps, pull tab and a little bit of clad. All three rings came within 15 minutes. 
. First one was the big silver 925 with a fake stone. A few feet away, I dug another ring, 10k. I swung back over the spot and got a real funky signal. The target was a broken 10k ring. I could not tell you what the signals were in the water because my control pod was underwater. The silver ring rang 46 and the two 10k rings hit at 15-16 on the Legend out of the water. I hunted for another 30 minutes and didn't come up with anything but a couple of pieces of trash. Running 20Khz due to bad EMI, 2 tones , tone break at 9, sens 24, all metal. Bottle caps were giving a low/high tone, I could tell it was a junk signal, but I dug it anyways just to be sure.

Curious if you put the Legend's audio to max and turn down on the headphones, would that help?
No....It doesn't make a difference, something is wrong with the threshold.
