Have only heard one person using the BIG, and he says he found a CW Bullet at 19 inches.

I may have to order one myself.]]> grumpysrb Garrett AT Pro & AT Gold ForumSat, 25 May 2013 12:57:13 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?79,1915250,1915250#msg-1915250 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?79,1915250,1915250#msg-1915250

there were courts tucked in the back.
I hit it for a little while just before and I don't think this place has ever been
hunted before due to the little stuff I found! I didn't even make a dent in this place...
Feels promising, we shall see!
The little nose ring and clasp are Silver I believe...

If so why? Were the new brands expensive? Large cuffs, small cuffs, duel volume controls? Were the other brands much better? What would you suggest?

Yes, those are washers, for playing Washers!! Those about blew my Grey Ghosts right off my head!! And the ring is Tungsten Carbide, came in at a 71 VDI, if you're interested. Not sure what the blue thing is. It's enamel on what appears to be copper, had a "D" on the back.

Hunted today with my buddy Scott. The ice flows have dissappeared, so we hunted a very cold lake today. The AT Gold did a great job! I used the true all metal mode with the iron audio set and 35 and turned on. When I got a signal, I would just peek at the VDI numbers and make my decision whether to dig or not based on the number(s). I hunted mostly the junky areas, and got most of the coins. That 5" x 8" coil really gets some surprising good depth. The Garrett Infinium LS (PI) worked well in the deeper water, and as usual, got another ring left behind, probably because it was about 10" deep. This water has been pounded to death with at least a dozen hunters. Yet, the Garrett's always seem to find some keepers missed by others.

Here's the ring.....the Lord's Prayer written in Croation. A very nice ring. I also got a shopping cart token, which can be used in shopping carts requiring our Loonies ($1.00 coins)

The Garrett Gals were impressed!

That little coil has always impressed me. After a mild cleaning: Silver Italian 1863 20 centesimi, 1903 Barber dime, 1902 cent, 1910 V nickel, '23 & '24 wheat backs, thin silver ring & a plated ring. One flat button. The Italian silver is comparable to a half dime and rang up at 60 - 62.

A few more odd keepers are still in my pouch for future examination & cleaning.

I also got my first kepi buckle in a very well pounded area. Separation is amazing and it's so simple to use. The lack of bells and whistles makes digging so much more relaxing (I've got an E Trac, too).
I was wondering two things: can I use lithium batteries, and how can I replace the O-ring that seems to bunch up when pushing the coil cord into it's housing. I tried the search but must be doing something wrong, so I emailed Garrett about the batteries. This is what I got:

"Lithium Iron A non rechargeable form of lithium battery that has a nominal cell voltage of 1.5 volts. These can be found off the shelf in the AA size as Energizer L91 Ultimate Lithium. These are acceptable to use, however the battery performance spec shows only a 10% advantage over an alkaline battery when used in our detectors. They do have the advantage of operating down to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit where alkaline batteries fall off below zero degrees Fahrenheit.
Lithium Ion This is a rechargeable version of the lithium battery. It is available in an AA size package, sometimes designated as the 14500 series. These batteries MUST NOT BE USED in the detector. They produce a voltage of 3.6 volts per cell and this voltage exceeds the limit of our circuitry. There is a high probability that a detector will be damaged if these batteries are used."

Not sure I agree with the statement about "only a 10% advantage over an alkaline battery..." and don't really know what "lithium iron" is. Anyways, I'll probably use the Energizer "advanced lithium" batteries I found a while back.

The O-ring issue wasn't really addressed to my satisfaction. The VERY nice gentleman that I spoke with said that I shouldn't really worry since there's further protection inside the machine, should water get passed the o-ring (at least that's what I gleaned from from the conversation). Is there a good place to get replacement rings, or a size that I can search for at the hardware store?

Thanks in advance. This forum has been very informational. I felt very prepared to dig before I even got the machine.]]> kraykepler Garrett AT Pro & AT Gold ForumThu, 23 May 2013 16:41:30 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?79,1913655,1913655#msg-1913655 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?79,1913655,1913655#msg-1913655

Cause if you do turn on iron audio all the low tones will now
become all mid tones right? Would be counter intuitive correct?
