At Pro discrimination numbers?

[WickedLife]

I was doing a test today as I am trying to set my ATPro to only alert for gold, silver and platinum. I set the disc. between 35 and 55 for gold and 80-99 for silver. I do not have anything platinum on hand to set the disc to. Does anyone know what range platinum shows? I did the test by moving different KT of gold charms, rings and necklaces to get the gold numbers, between 35-55 was the sweet spot, did the same with .925 silver and silver coins to get my silver 80-99 numbers. Any help would be great.

You are going to miss a lot of gold doing that I know some 18 and 22k come up in the 70 range.

I tried all ranges of KT gold from 10k-24k all came up between 35-50.. Would size of the gold item alter the disc? Say a small 14k charm at 40, but a 14k ring at 70 even though its same kt?

Platinum will normally show as foil.

Well, only for modest/smaller size ones. But for a big chunky fat man's platinum (or a bar or ingot , etc...) it will read high. In the same way that if you got a big honkin fat man's gold ring (like a college class ring, for instance), they will read up near zinc or penny. Contrast to a small dainty gold ring, which can read down at foil.

So you can't say "gold" or "platinum" reads "such & such way". Because size plays into the formula for ANY type metal.

For example: What does a tab or snippet of an aluminum can read? Down near nickel or tab, right ? But what does an entire aluminum can read? Up at dime or quarter, right ? But notice that in each case, the composition remains the same: Aluminum. So what changed? THE SIZE. The same can be said of gold and platinum.

Well stated.
