can it be used to find missing gold ring?

Sorry for delay -I was overseas, and had to test. I used my 14K wedding ring, and the scanner could pick it up from about 1" away. I suppose it would matter where you lost it, but it will detect.

You should be able to but gold does not get green if it is real gold. If it is an alloy the cleaner should work. T

No. You can't accurately test in settings. It can give you false negatives due to the metal. It is however very accurate with loose stones. Only issues I encountered were with black diamonds, and synthetic or natural emeralds, rubies and sapphires.

Yes this would be an excellent choice for that. I use mine for metal detecting and it picks up all coins and even foil. Good product good price.

Yes, both gold and silver but sometimes it detects aluminum and tin as silver. Not a bad detector for beginers.

What you suggest then to find a lost bracelet in a home if this item is not suggested? I'm on the same situation. Thank you

No. It doesn't find gold underground. It is a radiation detector. My daughter just returned from Japan with the instrument left on in her baggage and recorded a max of 694 micro-Sieverts per hour.

If close enough, it will alert to metallic presence. Not the best choice thou for searching larger areas, as you must be very close to the object you're searching for.

It is good on gold rings, but if you are looking for gold targets less than 1-2 grams, I would use another detector. VLF gold detectors like the X-terra 705, Gold Bug, AT Gold, or even an $150 Tesaro Compare will find gold specs better. Gold chains are detected no better than there biggest link by any detector. If you are gold prospecting consider a PI detector, instead of the VLF detectors above. The ETrac is tuned for finding silver coins 2 grams or larger and is one of the best at doing so. Nuggets under 1gram and a most chains will barely sound off if you rub them against the coil.

Personaly I have not found any gold. But it says that Bounty Hunter LONEGWP Lone Star Metal Detector will detect gold. People have found gold without buying another coil. It's a very good detector for the price. Hope this helps.

It detects quarters, pennies and dime and nickels very well... I have not had the opportunity to find gold yet. But I am sure it will! Do you know of a place I can try?

No, but it would probably do a great job. There is an extremely small ring that would probably be perfect for it.

no...just metal. if you know where you dropped the diamond your best beat it the get a fine screen and sift the dirt.. you will find it.

This detector wont be able to tell the difference between gold and nails in your floor boards. Gold and iron are similar based on how the detector works. As far as trying to find a bracelet inside your home with one, that part im confused on. Do you think somehow it fell in duct work or in a crack in the hardwood floors?

I did not order the rings with it so I am not sure, I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I have found gold jewelry with it, but have not had the chance to look for raw nuggets. As far as easily, no gold is easily found, but if the coil goes over it, the machine will let you know. If it was easy everyone would do it! Don't quit your day job haha! Great machine for the price!
