you would have had white gold, 6gr
but perhaps not the other two, at the limit of G5c

it is necessary that I keep one step ahead :D

Thanks,
everything depends on the sand, some are harder than others
especially the black sands
the deepest of the three was the small alliance Yellow Gold 2 gr
approximately 35 cm
I have already made big signet 15/20 gr Approximately 45 cm, with a 15-inch coil

between 40 and 50 cm represents the current limit of the best PI
on a gold ring
but they'll probably get to see better in some time, with a new generation of more powerful detectors that everything that exists ;)
