can it detect gold coins

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?

Yes. There is a button that let's you cycle between total coin count and counts of each type of coin.

I would buy a better metal detector. ... this one is very cheap. ... u need to be really close to the metal in order for it to detect.

Not sure about the question. My detector was returned as it was defective as it kept saying 'service required'. I do not recommend this device or the company.

if your in a known gold area, and you know how to use this detector it will. not flakes but pickers and nuggets. make sure TO ground balance

It doesn't count money, it scans bar codes. It usually just scans saying 99 cents or 99 dollars - not the real item price

There is i would say but don't know it's got 24 k gold on it so can't see if it does

When you get the machine to work at all it will "help" locate metal objects including gold. I was not able to get mine to work regularly. When it did work I was able to locate metals without distinction. In other words I could not get mine to only hit on gold. It would either hit on metal or nothing. I would suggest looking into a better machine if you want to locate only gold/silver. If you are looking for a toy for amusement only then this item will probably work well for you.

Well.., this scanner can detect all metals, behind ceramic too, but sometimes make mistakes. Only in metal mode can use to that work.

I think the F2 is designed mostly for coins and it is an excellent machine for coin shooting. I have used my f2 on wet sand and underwater and it seems to work fine, but I found coins, not gold. I haven't tried to find gold with it.

Absolutely! You may need to gently scrub the coins with a soft toothbrush, followed by buffing with a polishing cloth. Gold doesn't tarnish but the process will clean it.

It can do it, but you have to select the value. For example, you can select the $20 value put 15 bills on top it'll tell you the total is $300, then you can change the value to $50 and put 10 bills and it'll give you the total of $800. So it does not detect the value on its on, you have to set it by hand and it'll tell you the total. Hope that helps.

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.

It would depend o the scratches and type of metal. I can tell you that it will remove a gold plating of any strength and restore the object toit's original finish.But don't know about the scratches.

Yes, its a totally digital signal over fiber optic. The gold plating would do nothing for the signal only prevent oxidation. And it looks cool.

yes and no. I use it to help on some coins which are borderline but as you may be aware, silver coins often have such a brilliant reflective surface that the built in light can be too intense. In those cases, I recommend turning the light off (there is a switch) and using background lighting. Fortunately, it connects to most computers with a usb cable and allows you to take pictures. I find that the photos allow you to grade coins better than the "live" picture since most photo programs will allow you to manipulate contrast, etc. to make a better call. I use mine primarily for mineral identification and it is superb. yes and no.

It has a magnet on the tip. I don't know if that will work on coins. Should pick up paper money ok.
