gold coins [ american]

[michmark]

not that i would ever scan across one but what are fe co numbers on an e trac for members of the eagle family my guess would be pulltab range anyone know

 

[Tony Two-Cent]

US Gold coins will fall in these ranges on the E-Trac:

$1 US Gold = 12-10, 12-11, 13-10, 13-11
$2 1/2 US Gold = 12-22, 12-23, 13-22, 13-23
$5 US Gold = 12-30, 12-31, 13-30, 13-31
$10 US Gold = 12-38, 12-39, 13-38, 13-39
$20 US Gold = 13-43, 13-44, 14-43, 14-44

ok so its only the quarter eagle that falls the hardest in pull tab range the rest are close to other coin numbers thats good to know

 

[Tony Two-Cent]

Yep, the quarter eagle is the tough one. All of the others you would probably dig anyway.

there probly isnt many gold coins to find but at least i know i might get a prize by digging my normal signals

Great info Tony, thanks! :yes: I have given up (at heavy trash park sites) digging 12-22/23's because I have dug enough beaver tails to melt down and side an entire large city of buildings. :cheesysmile: But it's nice to know that the larger denomination coins signal into the 30's and 40's FE which I always dig.

<} rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl lol lol lol lol lol

Me too! Those tails get me ALL the time. I should probably keep them and sell them for scrap..I'd make a killing. Probably more value there than all the coins lol

:crazy: I didn't know what you meant by beaver tails, then I figured it out. Today has felt like the second Monday this week...

Anyways, I dig those numbers all day in a field, but a park is another story.

 

[RobW]

Oh, Chief...other than a sore back and knees, you don't know what you're missing!!! I score a lot of Buffs, Vs in that range...but it can be frustrating >{ >:#

Did somebody say buff

 

[RobW]

Did somebody say buff

I didn't say I WAS &quot:beerbuddy:UFF...... lol

 

[Beefcake]

I have a 1908 $2.50 and it comes in at a solid 12-21 on the Etrac. Haven't tried it on my CTX yet.

 

[michmark]

thats good to know but to be honest i skip 12-21s unless there really deep 500+ pulltabs later im sick of digging that number range lol
