Dances With Doves Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I am doing the same test as I did with GMX and NOX. The first test I did was with the infinium with a 8' mono coil and I got nothing.I did a test one time with the same size white and yellow gold rings, and the yellow gold gave me a dig me hit and white gold nothing.This machine does not like small deep white gold rings.I bet the new AQ would hit it.I then tried the X-terra with the 6'' 18kz dd coil.I did it in prospect mode with max sens. and got a very soft signal but repeatable. This is max depth for this combo.I then tried it in coin mode with every thing open in 1 tone and I got a very soft hit with -8 and 48 as id which are iron wrap around #'s. The infinium did hit the 9" nickel I buried 8 years ago with a nice soft signal.This machine likes deeper yellow gold better in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less then a gram and barely fits on my pinky.That may be to small.A white gold engagement ring would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beechnut OBN Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Couple possibles white golds...., I air tested a lot of gold just to see if I can get any details on the audio signals.I know the "AQ" loves small gold rings...Not sure on the white gold but we will see... Ring #23 was airtested..small but still hit at 11 inch's..My guess it would hit about 13 in the sand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 That.49 ring would be a good test and so would the 1.36. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beechnut OBN Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Just (AQ) Air test to see if they even hit...Compared to the yellow gold I can see why I don't find a lot of white gold rings. Seems the smaller the gold target....the less they are affected by the reject modes...Tones/Mute....Also from testing the machine I can almost tell you how they will hit in the sand..just add one (inch) for the small gold (.49) and (maybe) two inch's to the (1.36) but I will test and see.. Have to check my video's and see if I have any of these on video being found with the Excalibur.. MY GUESS IN THE WETSAND... (.49) 5 inch's.....................(1.36) 9 inch's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 With the infinium I barely ever found white gold.Only when it was a big and shallow wedding band did I usually come home with white gold.The At gold was much better on the white gold to me even with the little 5by 8 coil. Small and deep ones would give you no sound or a junky signal. I imagine platinum is about the same.I have only found one platinum and it was on the clay with a couple inches of sand in 34degree water when platinum was over $ 2000 .I did get one small and heavy white gold ring digging a very faint signal also in cold water just because I was digging heavy objects and digging kept we warm with infinium.I think it was the Garrett 2006 catalog that I was in for the infinium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
