Been detecting a just over a year now. Bought a GO-FIND 20 and that's when my luck changed. Pre decimal coins started flowing. Lots of silver rings, silver coins, silver necklaces but no gold ones. Then after a lot of persistence and learning the machine, I found my first gold ring, 18kt spinner ring. Since this, I upgraded to the GO-FIND 40, and on my first trip out found another silver ring. Patients and I'll see some more gold..
