Found a small gold signet ring "D" in my parents yard in house I grew up in from 1969-1987. The ring is one my mother bought me to give to girlfriends when I asked them to go with me. We all remember those yes no Maybe notes of the early 70s. Found it 5 inches down by the driveway read 37 on the legend. What memories.
IMO, it's perfectly acceptable to notch out a prevalent local "pest", but only if it always reads the same VDI - not a range, just a single number. For example, in my area beaches and tot lots are littered with large foil seals that always read a solid 15. There's so many of them that winning a scratch lottery has better odds than finding a gold ring that reads 15… so I tend to notch 15 out, especially when hunting by ear only. When hunting in trashy virgin parks and fairgrounds for the first time, I also tend to tone break out the midtones up to a penny range, sometimes even up to a quarter. I'll be back for these midtones, but a concentration of high conductor coins is a damn good indicator of where people tend to lose stuff. If I'm finding a lot of quarters in one particular spot (and it's not a parking meter or vending machine), I lower the tone break and slow down.
Jeremy, love your thoughts and insight. To prove your point, 25 years or so ago, I was detecting with my Excalibur on ST Thomas in a small beach swimming area. A local said “you won’t find anything here, I cleaned it out last week”. I got one spot that was non stop digging, never left that spot. I dug over 200 pull tabs then, bang! The nicest gold ring I ever found. It’s so big, it fits over my thumb, have 5 nice diamonds, maybe 1/4 carat each. Then more tabs and bang! A small womans 10k class ring. Fact, if you’re on the beach, land or water and there’s tabs everywhere, It’s impossible for them to get the gold that falls in that range, even if they’re notching. That being said, there’s times when digging 9 million tabs isn’t worth it. Thanks for all you do.
Honestly pay streak, This is the kind of video you put out that I really enjoy the most, and learn the most! From your videos I have learned not to notch anything out. Great information! 👍👍
Thanks for sharing this video! To some it’s new knowledge to others it’s a reminder or a refresher! We appreciate you sharing the tips and to us that put into use will reap the rewards!
Cherry Picking is fun. getting those mid tones pull tabs Bottle caps and Gold Rings..got to like getting the trash out of the way..Thanks for sharing .
This is one of the best demonstrations ever on gold and pull tabs. Thanks heaps man. You should do the same for the Deus and Minelab machines to show how its the same for all detectors. Thanks again.
So glad you posted this one. From aluminum to dimes.. You answered a lot of my questions, and cleared up a lot of my misconceptions. Thanks for doing this video.
awesome peystreak video, very grateful for your advice and I admit I'm one of the pulltab givers. Well, from now on I'm going to say "I left the pulltabs". greetings from Argentina and success in your prospecting!!!
Seeing this makes me feel better about my pull tab collection. Your 1/1000 will be a ring 💍 statement rings true as I found my first gold ring with the Simplex this Summer. Very reassuring. Thanks for the great content 👍🏻😊
With my old Bounty Hunter machine on freshwater beaches I dug pull tab/nickel, bottle cap, and quarter signals. That hit all the rings from silver to gold.
That's what I like about the v3i notch to 0-40 pull all the can slaw and tabs then if the ring is flat, it'll have a nickel and a ring at a mid tone, single 22khz. 6x9
Just learning my Legend. Thanks for all your videos, they are super helpful, and I can't wait to find my first ring! Do you pay attn to the ferrous indicator at all on the midtones to tell if you want to dig the signal or not?
You were saying that no detector can tell rings from pull tabs Deep tech has the Vista X and the other units that when you back off the target the tones go low for tabs or you tap the side of the coil 3o clock position and the tone goes low their gold machines do the same thing and these are the most user friendly detectors on the market
When you do another test like this could you do it with a slower recovery speed and slow down sweeping the targets across the coil I think it would make a difference
i think the best way to detect is just from lerning the tones and the common noises and when you get that noise thats a little rare you can hit it when you have things notched and such you aint listening to the ground your walking over you have to listen to it
I actually use this as a hunting strategy. Listen to the common noise you're getting from all the targets then dig anything that's "unusual". It's a good way to cherry pick those insane trashy sites on days you just don't have the will to dig junk all day. It pays off from time to time.
That’s what I’m working on. I’ve eliminated zinc, small sound with flat middle at ID. I can hear target with whole, hollow in middle. In practice, you can hear the density, tabs have thin sound, gold has full sound. I carry samples, if I lose the sounds, pull samples out. For me, the fun is determining what I don’t have to dig. Square tabs are rough, ID may not change, but tone does slight change at 90 deg. Learning process, but slowly improving. Must test theories.
I know you are showing the difference between pull tabs vs gold rings but whats your thoughts on the Legend i own two Equinox 800 thinking on buying the Legend.
We found hundreds of rings and dozens of gold rings for the year 2023 with the Legend. My buddy just found a big gold pendant yesterday with his legend. Legend will not leak and the coils will not fall apart.
You forgot one important thing Jeremy and I've been doing this for a long time probably the worst thing in the gold range is canslaw I think its probably more frequent in the ground than pull tabs,, I don't mind notching out some of the pull tabs you will still find gold in the nickel range it's the canslaw that makes it more of a pain,,
@@PaystreakSuperfreak only 2 here breaches very clean last big blow got Jack parks more caps steel. Last hunt old cricket field heaps of old silvers 92.5 % round 50c coins 80 % silver 🥈..
My wife asked me why I bring home so many pull tabs and bottle caps and trash from the beach if your machine is so good. I told her,you gotta dig to find!
pretty sure it was an older fisher machine CZ? posted in a forum they used for testing 255 rings 36 % of the rings hit from foil to nickle and 46 % up to screw top ( 0-45 )so a huge issue being with newer machines running such a short scale (0 50) or 60 or -whatever bottom line something with value could be left behind playing the disc/notch game.pretty much better to just base your detecting on i have this much time, go enjoy yourself...find lost metal objects which these machines are made for!
Does anyone out there in UA-cam land know how to update the legend with a Mac? So far huge pain in the rear. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Love ya Paystreak
Lol 😂 pull tabs here only 2 types vdi 14 new condition old type 15 vdi. As for rings last 2 years have over 400.. so picked 💯 out 63 of them came in at vdi of 12.. 8.. 10.. 22 came in at. 9... 18 rings solid 11.. detector used 800 nox. And on program field 2 also add. 15 18 just in case for pure gold sovereign's half is 15 full is 18. Summary park beach 🏖 wet or dry vdi are the same rock solid even 1.00 2.00 coins are 21 or 22 6% aluminium so must be the shape of pull tabs but I can not bitch about 800 that's 7 vdi numbers in on notch that will pick up 60 plus rings and pure gold 🥇 😂.. me that detector ya had would get the axe lol 😂 best of luck with your pull tabs outa 💯 rings only 15 came up 28 vdi most were silver ..
@@PaystreakSuperfreak iron is masked even on light or fine chain comes in at iron grunt any way but vdi either 3 or 4. On target tone advanced t2 = 18 or 20 t3= 16 or 18 t4=22 t5=25. Never miss avh depth per 100 🎯 = 5 ins Max never found one deeper.
It kills me every time you put a monetary value to some of these silver coins … it may not mean much to you but a lot of them silver coins are bucket listers to a lot of digger . Just because you and your buddy’s hunted all your parks out . Don’t down play the guy that’s looking for his first SLQ that’s a big deal for most buddy . I just had to say it happy hunting.

Good to see you Jerry😎
Going further back in time can you imagine a Deus 2 back in the 80 s in Hawaii. Pi 1000 was my best machine back then!
Wayne, imagine being able to notch out coins back then and focus on just gold, oh well!
Honestly pay streak, This is the kind of video you put out that I really enjoy the most, and learn the most! From your videos I have learned not to notch anything out. Great information! 👍👍

You are absolutely right buddy you got to dig out the pull tabs if you want to find gold rings that's just how it is

Great demo Jeremy
Thank you to remember me that "Ars longa vita brevis" roughly meaning, "skilfulness takes time and life is short"
At the end of the day He who has the fattest bag of pull tabs has the most gold! I like it sir!
You got that right!
Very helpful video, thank you!
Very comprehensive thanks
Good information. Thanks.

You're a genius

Cool size and setting changes things.
What were your setting on this video ?
Just learning my Legend. Thanks for all your videos, they are super helpful, and I can't wait to find my first ring! Do you pay attn to the ferrous indicator at all on the midtones to tell if you want to dig the signal or not?
The ferrous indicator does not work in our mineralized soil. We dig the tones.
Red Bull pull tabs are prolly my fave lol, at least the ones with the logo in a hole idk if all like that I not drink ot
Grazie del consiglio, ne faro tesoro.😊 👍
I'm going to be digging a lot of ring pulls again!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
N1 movie ❤
Pulltap" 1 inch ground "problem" i😂
Goldring 2 and more inch in ground... That's a good indicator 🎉😅😊
great info ! thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Simple test but it reveals a lot.
Question please: for gold nuggets in streams,etc which machine would be your choice?
You were saying that no detector can tell rings from pull tabs Deep tech has the Vista X and the other units that when you back off the target the tones go low for tabs or you tap the side of the coil 3o clock position and the tone goes low their gold machines do the same thing and these are the most user friendly detectors on the market
I don't mind digging pull tabs. It's the gum wrappers and such that kill me. With simplex I dig everything above 17.
Pull tabs gotta come out of the ground!!
can you do a review on the Nokta impact and the Nokta gold finder 2000 ?
When you do another test like this could you do it with a slower recovery speed and slow down sweeping the targets across the coil I think it would make a difference
i think the best way to detect is just from lerning the tones and the common noises and when you get that noise thats a little rare you can hit it when you have things notched and such you aint listening to the ground your walking over you have to listen to it
Notching makes the detector give broken tones. Much harder to pinpoint when tones are broken

I never notched pull tabs out... They usually ring up as nickles.
Hello from the Netherlands
Hello from Oregon!!
She got first pick of the 35 rings last month and the 27 so far this month. She has ring on her fingers,rings on her toes!
I Dig to Find.
Nice 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Dig to find.

We found hundreds of rings and dozens of gold rings for the year 2023 with the Legend. My buddy just found a big gold pendant yesterday with his legend. Legend will not leak and the coils will not fall apart.
There was an older detector long gone that could tell the difference between pull tabs and gold rings….audio tone.
My best rings rang up as zincons
High resolution, the new frontier.
You forgot one important thing Jeremy and I've been doing this for a long time probably the worst thing in the gold range is canslaw I think its probably more frequent in the ground than pull tabs,, I don't mind notching out some of the pull tabs you will still find gold in the nickel range it's the canslaw that makes it more of a pain,,
1 soda can can that gets mowed can be shredded into dozens of pieces. Canslaw is evil!!
How do you compare the Legend to equinox 800 and Deus 2
All 3 are metal detectors.....how much are you willing to spend?
Pull tabs here beach 🏖 park 14 vdi same for lol pull tab button hole on it is or has a square edge on bottom of hole. Never seen another type.
We have lots of different shape of pultabs here.
@@PaystreakSuperfreak only 2 here breaches very clean last big blow got Jack parks more caps steel. Last hunt old cricket field heaps of old silvers 92.5 % round 50c coins 80 % silver 🥈..
Do you only use 2 tone then?
I use 60 tone on the Legend. Tonal ID is so much easier in the trashy areas. 2 tone is if you want to go super deep.
what is your pull tab ratio to rings
Every site has different ratios. I would say close to 1000/1
why can't detectors exclude aluminum?
Conductivity of aluminum is same as gold and some coins.
Did someone say GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My wife asked me why I bring home so many pull tabs and bottle caps and trash from the beach if your machine is so good. I told her,you gotta dig to find!
Good stuff
oh yes there is.............but aint gonna give away the SECRET

hows it compare to XP deus 2 the legend ?
Like Mac and Windows.
Apples and oranges
Does anyone out there in UA-cam land know how to update the legend with a Mac? So far huge pain in the rear. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Love ya Paystreak
Your local metal detector dealer may be able to help you get your Legend updated.
I have downloaded the software and followed the instructions. For me it worked.
Hope you will BE successfull too. 🙏
