Default Anything specific to gold coins?

I got a GREAT place to hunt gold coins. Are there any particular hints to hunting gold coins over any other? Keep in mind I have a BountyHunter Quicksilver..so I might be doing alot of digging lol :)

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Dig anything in the from foil up. Because they are round like silver coins, they will also hit as silver coins at times depending on depth and soil. So dig it all!! Good luck!

S-
Dig everything until you know what you machine is telling you.
I'm a fellow BH user myself (QD II).
I do mostly beach hunting, but it's a great machine.

Have Fun & Happy Hunting!
