| More Keen Info:
General Rule of Freq is the :
Lower will penetrate Earth better. Responds to larger or More Electromagnetically Conductive targets better. (Silver, Iron Ect) Better Depth.
Higher will be Adsorbed or Impeded by Earth. Responds to Smaller Less Electromagnetically Conductive targets Better. (Gold, Aluminum, Ect) Not as Good on Depth.
Gold Rings / Chains!
Take a brass washer and do a air test and check were it will be detected.
Now Using a pair of wire cutters, snip the washer making a clean cut in one location. Insure the cut is separated and ends are not in contact with each other. Open end and Washer is no longer a ring.
Re due the Air Test!
What happened to your detection distance?
A closed loop or Ring of metal will cancel a portion of the returned signal produced by your transmit signal.
Chains are made up of small rings linked end to end and react the same way.
Most detectors will pass right over a fine gold chain and never produce a response.
Higher Freq do do better at them!

Good info Home Fry.
I have gone after chains. Sometimes I may
find 3 or 4 in a single hunt.
Any small chain may be hard to detect.
Tesoroes are fair to good at finding them.
They vary in their response a lot.
Some of the links will have continuity with
others that they touch. But there seems to
have breaks. It can make a weak and very iffy,
sometimes to the point that it sounds like
ground noise.
If the chain is bunched up, it will give a much
better response.
Depth is very hard to get on a small gold chain.
But they do not sink very easily. So they are
findable. But you have to change what you
think of as a diggable signal.
Happy Huntin,
