Nice chain Mitchel..I don’t think you missed anything with the 3030 it it disks out caps better then the 800. Remember these are robots telling you what to dig and not to dig.

Yes, but was there a chain or two in those caps I didn't even try to dig?  I know I tested the cap and bobby pin and they were reliable enough to depend on but I did find a couple of cap treasures.  I just can't remember them.  Now that I have this I'll take the 3030 out and test it.  I have not used it since the Nox arrived.

I think now when looking at a larger piece of man made gold and the sensitivity of the Nox we need to be concerned with the other metals in the mix.

The number for this chain is 13.  I know most of my nickels come in at 15.  Copper/zinc pennies come in at 20-22 it seems.  Silver is higher and gold is lower.

This  is the makeup of 14K White Gold: 58.5% fine gold, 12%copper, 8% nickel, 6% zinc, and 4.5% silver

 

Good point.

I went back out this afternoon and nothing much on the beach.  I took the chain with me to test.

When in the dry sand I found a target.  It was a 13 and when I dug it up it was a rusty bottle cap.  I took the chain and put it near and it was also a 13 but solid and not popping.  I put them close to each other with the chain in a ball and stretched out long and it sounded the same.  I pumped on both targets.  There was no negative number or low sound with the gold but there was with the cap.

It's too bad the numbers are so close together.  I wonder what I missed with the 3030 by not digging caps.

Good test.  It didn't have to be balled up after all.
