A Fisher 1280x hits a small 1.5g 10k golden ring at 7" - 8" in the air. The Pirate is a very similar machine. Put your discrimination no higher than 2. However I really have no idea how it would react to gold in the water/sand, I have found quite some coins with it but no gold in the water - at that time I had not had a proper sand scoop. That ring was found in the dry sand below a layer of seaweed and some sand.

What number does your metal detector ground balance at and where are you located and type of metal detector. Thanks. TN_INDIAN Coinshooters and Relic Hunters 18 01-23-2013 10:41 AM
