cjc Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 For sure a good start 22k 7.3 gr. Being told the emerald is dark and of good quality the type worn in the North of India Deli area and would belong to a "big family" owing to it's value. Very nice signal on the AQ sounding bigger than it was and very clean --really got a sense of the machine's optimization with this find. Also getting the hang of this "setpoint" type of Discrimination never really use my TDI Pro in the GB mode. Now to figure out the two Discrimination models (reject vs SAT). In the tone mode Im still a bit concerned about it "squelching" on some big 22k such as a bangle and will need to do some more testing. ...and a garbage heartstopper chain certainly looked good for a nanosecond... cjc clivesgoldpage.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How deep was the ring? ...I would say 15 to 18--inches that is-- about the third scoop with the big Stealth 720. I learned more from hearing that one signal than from all the rest of the time with the AQ. Nice optimization almost like my beloved 'Cuda... I can see that this detector has a narrow optimal range--aluminum and gold but the aluminum sounds weak and not as "elastic" as Denis put it...more centered. I know from running my GQA2 and CS6PI for decades to listen to the "sides" of the signal--tells you everything. cjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LE.JAG Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Very beautiful ring Clive, very yellow gold !yes, gold always gives a sound that stretcheselastic is a good definitionthe sound of aluminum, suddenly falls to himyou have to get your ear / you must already have it :))how much weighs, the big bracelet 22kwho is the problem ?we have not done any test, with jewels over 50 gr monobloc (gold)not common to find ..there is surely a tipping point / determined by the weight of the goldbut it remains, really special and rare cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoolofhardNox Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Great ring!!! I wonder if the owner actually found that stone? It seems he had it hand mounted as best as he or someone could. Very crude setting. Who knows how old it is. I'm assuming the signal was fairly quiet but wide and steady? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beechnut OBN Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Congratulations on the old 22k, a real stunner! ☠️ 22 hours ago, cjc said: Very nice signal on the AQ sounding bigger than it was and very clean Good report Clive! I like these words above.. I've been digging (AM) faints only at this one spot. Yesterday the faints were rare to find so I started digging..... (thinking) less shallow targets that gave a good response. Several of those targets were deeper then I thought and good targets. I put a audio cut off on one of my battery systems and the audio on shallow targets are so strong (loud) I can still hear them faintly when the circuit is open (disconnected).
