Cleanup

Hey, you never know what you will find, other jewelry, coins etc. and you clean up your yard of any aluminum or pop tops.

set up

Set it up like Radio says. Gold shows as aluminum, nickels and pull tabs. You will not have to dig any holes since you just lost it, that saves a lot right there.

froto,my advice...set it to

froto,my advice...set it to the most basic setting so that it detects everything. in my experience, gold will ring up as aluminum and sometimes as coins. keep it basic and start a systematic search. you don't need a fancy machine to find your ring. you do need determination and a good search pattern.
