Last one I dug was a hefty sucker and it was 2-3 VDI, if I remember correctly.
Tom has it right. Chains are, by design, a difficult target unless the clasp is large and you get a fix on it.
Good luck on the find and return.
Sheesk, 2 to 3 on the Nox scale is whispy super low foil ! And yes, a gold ring of the same weight would be a bold higher signal. But chains, despite some being heavy, are difficult targets.
I'm not too familiar with the 600 and 800 (ie.: the meaning of "park 1", etc...), but will say this :
Since the lady says it's rope gold, then be aware : Even a rope gold that has a heavy composite total weight, can be a difficult target. Because any time you're talking about necklaces and bracelets, with individual links, the machine will try to see each as an individual target. Not the composite weight.
A buddy of mine recently got a heavy rope gold necklace, that .... once we investigated the signal with our machines when it was out of the ground, found it to be an iffy signal. Ie.: scratchy and barely above iron. Ie.: You'd need to have had your machine to scream on small foil, to get the conductive hints.
So it will sort of depend on what she means by rope gold. If it's super thin strands (all woven together), then as said: The machine will try to see all the strands as separate. EVEN IF THEY ARE TOUCHING and wadded up.
So set your 600 for whatever is optimum for micro-jewelry, just to be safe. And hopefully her garden is not filled with ttteeennnssyy little foil turds and junk.
beg,borow,or steal a tesoro compadre,or a tesoro Mojave with either the 6 concentric coil,or the the 7" precision concentric coil.......
Use park 2. VDI will most likely be in 1-3 range. Go super slow
