Default Gold and the Ace 250

I recently sold my Ace 250 and this got me to thinking about the good ol' days when me and the Yellow Wonder tore through our city parks.

I didn't know at the time how unusual it is that to the Ace 250, a lot of gold sounds like a 1 cent coin (giving the bell tone/high tone)

I hunted only on the Jewelry mode with sensitivity set to 1 below max.

Here is a small gallery of the gold items that gave a 1 cent/bell tone signal (not pictured are very many gold plated rings and chains)

In fact, to get a pull tab reading on gold with the Ace 250, the ring had to be a very small, .8 gram baby ring
