That 750 stamp usually means 18K gold. 😎

Yeah!...

yeah when I lose a target I dig a few more scoops just to check if I buried it. I exclusively use the legend as it's the only one I have. 
Are you out in the wet often? I can't go too far out because all I have are knee high boots. How often do you find good stuff if you are searching in the surf?

I live in a costal town on the shores of the Mediterranean  Sea. I do Wet sand, wade, surf and snorkel.

How often?...Depends, detecting in winter is not the same as in summer.

The last ring, last night.

I have three gold pieces since 3/27 with X-Terra Pro...😁

...second gold ring!

Why low recovery speed, Also i guess i better turn some things off and try it out. The beaches have been terribly sanded in and it's really difficult to find much of anything really.
For me gold always rings up the same as nickels, and most if not all the time they were quite clear. Never really found any deep gold yet, and all iron sounds i've dug have been just that: iron.
I dig everything that sounds good so i'm definitely not missing much tbh, just poor luck of the draw on gold!

Hi, two things:

- Why low recovery speed? Because in the water your swing is going to be lower than in dry sand and you need more deep.

- Iron sounds like iron, but in the end of your SMF (more 12' inches deep) your detector can't know what is...

You can see negative ID's and that sound that you know in 90 degree...just dig It.

Positive attitude!!!

One more tip:

- Threshold, this was taught to me by an old man... I use in 9-12 in Minelab detectors (Legend it,s bullshit). When the sound stops, dig a couple of scoops. Probably you got it a good target under your coil...

Another day, we talk about gold  chains...

Not so sure about that one .!!! Not saying it is because it's not in my hands or tested it. But EVERY ring that l have found that looks like that is brass. FAKE. But it will show up in that diagram ya got there.

Every?...bad luck.

I found a lot of junk jewelry too. This Big one sound a little bit more...ID in Nox 800 20-21, because got It a lot of Cooper. Usually 9-10k, rose Gold.

If sounds higher (near to 30-32): Junk! No dig It...

If you find brass you are near of gold. Be patient...

The rocks really do trap gold near the surf, but there are times when the rocks get washed up and the heavy gold with it. It also doesn't help when things get sanded in; rocks and gold just get buried beyond the range of my detector. 

Exactly.

Learn to use your detector. Listen to their language. Low tones, all metal, threshold...

Low recovery speed, no iron filters, no bottle cup reject, go down your break tone...a world of things! Take your time.

Deep old gold sounds like iron, you can see negative ID's ... don't worry.

Trust your ear!!!

Your Items: old/green coins, fisher weight, iron, perhaps silver...

Easy.

😉

...Gold is everywhere! Just, go out and dig.

There's no pattern to follow. Specific weight is high, that the only guide.

Study your beach, winds, tides, bathing areas. And a little luck!...

Welcome, StarVatrex!  Modesty is commendable but with 6 years and over 2000 hours experience I have a feeling you know more than a little.  Either way, I look forward to your contributions.  Oh, and nice finds!

Many thanks.

Over 2000 hours with Nox, but I discovered "the game" with Nokta Makro Anfibio Multi. That crazy screamer taught me a lot...

Location, patience, perseverance and good headphones.

When in the solitude of a dark beach you look Gold in the eye, you are lost!

One of my most valuable pieces. I had to sit for a while and breathe...

Yellow is in the water waiting...😁

I use them wired up. Cheap.

Yes, cheap and easy!

But the question is...is It REALLY a single frecuency ?!? How Minelab get that stability on beaches?...

I used one Quest X5 (SF 8kHz too) for a summer, amazing with coins and silver...but no gold.

After 10 hours with X-Terra Pro and on "my beach" (beaten a thousand times with Equinox and Legend, Spring has just started after a long Winter). Two Golds !!!!!

Last one, dry sand, used Park 2, 15 kHz, and a less recovery speed (1)...0,29 Gr.

Awesome !!!!

I keep saying...sounds like Equinox 

I'm using my old wired ML80, they can't paired...

My AUGUST EP650 can't be paired either.

;(

Yes, Beach has 2 default tones too.

I was using 2 tones for a while on my Equinox, it's easier at first.

Now The Legend works in 6 tone too. I love the howl of the silver.

Target ID 1€ 41...pretty sound.

Thanks Steve.

This is one of my best finds...

Deeper than 12 inches, waves, wind.

It took me sometime to get It out. And finally, heavy woman's wedding ring.

Dated 1957...

Many thanks.

...this one has treated me well too.

😉

...and It works on the beach with yellow!

First day, beach 2, original settings; as I said in "Meter & Greet".

Sound like Equinox.

Hi,

I've been visiting the forum for a while and I've decided to register and contribute what little I know...
I dedicate to the search for gold on the beach, only beach; and I have about 6 years. Several VLFs have passed through my hands and I currently use an Equinox 800, a Legend (underwater) and I have just purchased an X-TERRA Pro. And it also works, a heavy "750" gold ring on the first day of use!!! 6.65 Gr.

Low tide about 6 inches deep...
That sound...mmm...very Equinox-like...
I must have more than 2000h. from Equinox.
