Good post, Digger. Every time I am tempted to skip a "zinc" tone, I get a gnawing thought in my head that I could be skipping something very good!
Well, I've seen several posts of rings appraised at over $10,000. I can wait a little longer. These heavy rings fall in this category. Also, if you set your disc. at pulltabs, it's probably the ONLY chance you'll have at gold.How many pennies do I have to dig before I hit gold?
alot

About 40% of rings fall in pulltab territory.I thought Zinc was Gold? Now you are saying pulltabs is Gold?
Now I'm worrying what I passed up yesterday as I thought my machine was being weird when it said 97 a couple times because no heading was coming up, but I read last night somewhere that something that high can be silver jewelry or Kennedys. I have fairly good idea where the 97 was so I think I could find it again if I can only perfect my digging technique as it said it was down 11 inches. Which probably means 7-9 inches because my machine reads depth weird it seems like as it was calling 1/2 inch hits as being 4 inches under. I wonder if the type of soil has something to do with that?

Just wait'll you hit that class ring, which is EXACTLY where they fall.Digger, I went out today and took your advice and dug up zinc VDIs with my AT Pro. Most were pennies but two targets I dug were solid 80. The photo below shows what they were. Needless to say, I was very surpised and happy!

very informative, thanks! i always try to dig the zinc, sometimes i get bored of it though
Question, is there trash that has a vdi in the 90's? Not according to the White's chart other than a hot rock.
Also, can you tell me what a hot rock is
MUST dig the penny/zinc signals. Tons of good stuff there plus the pennies do add up. I've never found anything good in the foil range though. On my ace in trashy areas I have to notch out anything under nickel. Or I literally can't hunt period. If it's a non trashy area I dig it all.
