What are the likely Target IDs for gold on the X-TERRA 70/705?
Generally speaking modern gold coins (such as those found in Europe that are less than 200 years old) are smaller and will likely produce a mid-range Target ID. Typically, smaller gold coins will usually have Target IDs in the range 13-19. Medium sized gold coins will usually have Target IDs in the range 20-29. Very large gold coins can have Target IDs of 30 or more. Some very small Celtic type gold coins have been found with a lower-than-normal conductivity and as such can have a Target ID less than 10. When detecting allow experience to guide you since you may experience some variability due to your choice of X-TERRA model and coil. With experience you will find the sound of gold is fuller and more rounded. Take account also of the tonal response of all targets. The value of experience lies in the ability to assess the signal tone and sound in addition to the numeric display when specifically searching for gold coins.
