Nice find. I'm surprised tdi is 1. tdi 1 is in iron range. It's worth digging tdi 1.
Foil is 4. I haven't tried tiny foil.

Another killer day with the M8...
EARING 0.63g TID 1/2
PENDANT 1g TID 2.

Your killing it on the gold. M8 is doing an awesome job. It is hot on gold. Harder to hit those broken rings on a lot of detectors.
Can't wait till it warms up here and ground thaws. First place I'm going with my Manticore is a Lake Michigan beach. I'll being be digging those low numbers too. Hope I get some of that gold.

You guys are doing great on gold!
Yes...... most (lost jewelry/gold) ID's a '01' on Manticore. You would NEVER know this ..... with any other platform.......because....... they simply do not detect it. Manticore with M8 coil (and Sens on 30) just barely starts to detect micro-gold..... in a wet-salt environment. First ever...in history.

Working the sea grass,the M8 glides though,without falsing,even though it's hyoer sensitive..
Big earing TID 04 2.25g
Small stude 18K TID 04 O.65g.

David....... GREAT capture!
Fairly easy to explain.
First....... All Terrain - Low Conductors will be MUCH more resonant/sensitive to that small (low conductive) gold ring.......wherby...... the signal strength to the gold ring may/will be somewhat stronger than the nail.,.,.,.,., especially as you pull the coil away from the nail; yet, still have the coil over the gold ring.
Second.... All Terrain - High Conductors. The signal strength of the Ferrous nail is OVERPOWERING......... dominating the audio output . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . even though you have a nice strong/solid/high-definition black dot where the gold ring is hitting. In this All Terrain - High Conductors Mode....... the nail is SO much stronger than the gold ring........ due to the lower Freq's of High Conductor Mode......which weakens the signal strength of the gold ring; yet, ALSO increases the detection/strength of the nail.......(a double-whammy!).

Thanks Tom.
So I learned something about Manticore.

At one point.....we were trying to capture this...audibly.,.,.,.,.,.,., through polyphonics.
