You know I've come to place where finding clad is not really challenging. It's FUN THOUGH. New plan to find gold in parks. Don't dig the high tones just the mid tones. On ATP I heard gold rings up from about 45-75. Now I've never found a gold or silver ring but that is my next order of business. With only limited time to hunt, I'll have to pass up those high tones.But passing up those dimes and quarters is hard. I see all these you tube videos with people finding rings in parks. It seems unbelievable... Any one else hunt this way?

The only person you have to satisfy is yourself.
Your plan,,is worthy,,if you don't mind leaving some higher conductive targets in the ground.
This park you are talking about,,anyone else a hunting,,and if yes,,do you know what detector and their experience level using it??
I bring this up,,because a person if they know this info,,,can capitalize.
What am I talking about???
Knowing a detector models strengths and weaknesses,,,if a person knows,,very possible for a hunter to use this info,,,and try and use their very own detector to capitalize on these detectors weaknesses. It might help too,,if you have an idea of what kinds of targets folks like to dig,,be it higher or lower conductors.
Let's look at one example here to illustrate.
Let's say a park close to you you like to hunt,,,,a person there hunts a lot using Minelab Etrac,,,and you talk to this person or have knowledge they like to dig coins.
If I had that data,,and was going to hunt with At Pro for example,,,,I would when detecting if I saw a solo sitting target,,reading higher vdi,,,I would pass on it,,,thinking etracer has done swung over and looked,,and they passed as well.
Etrac has a very good TID system btw,,especially on higher conductive coins.
So give the higher conductive solo sitting targets,,no dig decision.
But what if you get a mid or lower donductive target,,,this here etracer may indeed did hear,,but passed.
What about any target really nonferrous,,,before you dig,,you circle sweeping,,and pinpointing,,and you notice the target is close to iron,,and or nail(s),, or even another nonferrous conductor. This IMO would be a good one to dig,,,etracer might have been fooled,,or just heard lower condcutive and passed.
Does the park have any trashier areas,,or places with above average iron or nails,,,these areas,,,deserve special attention. And parks usually are more open,,and beleive it or not,,,many folks can't seem to let themselves run smaller coils.
Big mistake here IMO,,,find the worst areas of site(park) and try a smaller coil.
When you are at the park,,,pay attention to where folks seem to detect more,,and detect less,,,,then try and determine the reason(s) why by yourself doing some recon with your detector,,,or if you are lucky maybe some folks will tell you.lol
The sky is the limit,,,a person does need some strategy a lot of times,,especially detecting public places.
I have hunted a few,,,and what I talk about above,,,I've done and got some good finds,,,not a whole lot,,,but very worthy for areas in question.
Even a gent who lives around 35 miles from me,,,I've spoken to him,,,he's been detecting since '75,,, and when I told him what I found,,he said it was very good.
I just told him the town,,not the exact place,,,but I had first hand info,,this gent had been in these same sites a lot over the years. (He's a fbs SE pro person big time)
Good luck on your golden quest.
(why would anyone want to "pass" gold rings and old nickels in junky turf ?
