Finding Gold w/BH Platinum Detector?

Greetings!

Bounty Hunter Platinum users. Has anyone found a way to tell if & when a gold target has been found? Will a gold item trigger a 2-digit numerical number & hold it, i guess what i'm getting to is, when you find trash, the 2-digit numerical number can fly all over the place. From Iron to Zinc sometimes. These hits' I've been ignoring.

Any tips would be much appreciated as I become more comfortable with my new BH Platinum.

Thanking you in advance,  Larry...

The only way you can tell if something is gold is to dig. Because gold comes in all sizes & shapes, often mixed with other metals in the case of most jewelry, almost any number could be a gold number. From foil to nickel to pulltab mostly. Some larger rings could read higher.

As to if a gold item stays fixed on a number, that would depend on if it was strong enough in relation to the ground minerals. Most detectors can beep to a greater depth than they can ID accurately. Best wishes, George (MN)

We had our club hunt yesterday and I checked 5 guys gold wedding rings. they all read in the S-Cap range 65 to 78, mostly 68. Hope this helps
