To all wandering about VDI on gold coin.

Hope your wife recovers ok and fast. It is stressful when your spouse has illness or surgery. I went through that and had to manage lot of different meds and pain pills. It is a complex thing to deal with for the care taking spouse. I would get so upset with myself when I forgot to give some meds on time. Bless you and your wife.

Truth, wanted to show you how an E-TRAC reads a $1 Gold coin. 11(ferrous) and 11(conductive).

Reads exactly the way a beavertail from an old pulltab reads. Bet I dug thirty beavertails and over one-hundred pulltabs this week. I look at it this way, the fact that I am at a location that is littered with pulltabs tells me that I'm in a good location because everyone else has discriminated these out.

Here's a target from two days ago that read 12-25, just like an old pulltab with a beavertail...

Why were fidget spinners a thing? People drink their drinks, talk with their buddies and fidget with the pull tab until it breaks off. It takes a few seconds and most do it without thinking about it, probably.

Some charitable organizations actually collect the things to be recycled at the aluminum scrap metal rate. There was a false rumor running around that collecting a gallon of these things would get someone an extra hour on a dialysis machine. Not true, but the rumor persists. So that encourages the practice even further.

Truth - hoping your wife recovers soon and successfully from her back surgery.

Also, when trying to get a reference VDI off a coin in a card mount, be mindful of the effect of the card mount staples on the signal, especially for small and/or mid-conductive coins like the gold piece or trimes.

No gold but 2 relic bucket listers hit the collection. Old pas lock and my first silver fork. IMG_0454.JPGIMG_0456.JPGIMG_0457.JPGIMG_0458.JPG
 

Very nice digs, Truth!

I will pray for your wife's recovery; meanwhile, don't beat yourself up. It's hard work caring for someone, even when it's someone you dearly love -- and it's clear you do! ;)
