    New to nugget hunging

    I would like to do some detecting along the middle fork of the Boise River this summer with my new AT Gold. I've been told that the entire river is claimed up. So, my question is how do I identify a claim so to avoid violating somebody's mineral rights. Also, I've watched plenty of YouTube...

    Kudos to Garrett customer service

    I emailed Garrett when one of the ears on the 8.5 x 11 search coil broke. I was asking if there was a fix to save the coil. Their reply was, " send us your address and we will send you a new coil"! Now, this coil had seen some serious use for just under two years, but they asked no questions...

    Flying with detector and scoop

    On an upcoming flight to the gulf coast I was planning on putting my scoop and detector, broken down, in a duffel and carrying it on the plane. It all would fit in the requisite max 9.5" x 15.5" x 24" bag. My worry is the security people might see the scoop handle, 20", as a bat like weapon...

    Woe is me

    I just posted a wanted ad in classified for an AT Pro. Sometime between Wednesday noon and this morning it disappeared from the trunk of my car which I always keep locked. Insurance is $500 deductible so I am up a creek without a paddle. Believe me, from now on when I have valuables in the...

    detecting the gulf coast

    I'm a Northwest guy who has done some beach hunting along rivers and lakes. My gear is an AT Pro with the 8 1/2 x 11 DD coil and a plastic sand scoop. Next month I'm taking the detector to the Florida panhandle for some beach and surf detecting. I have questions some of you may be kind enough to...

    Oh, Woe, Arm Cuff Broke

    Yeah, I was out swinging this afternoon and the arm cuff snapped off the ATP's shaft. Took me by surprise just as I was getting to some prime real estate, of course. But, the silver lining on this cloud? I got home in time to get the coil, housing and broken cuff packed up and to the Post...

    Batteries for the ATP

    I originally used Energizer batteries in my ATP, but soon changed to the cheapest battery I could conveniently find; Enercell batteries from Costco. I don't see any difference in life or strength of tone from them. I did try Energizer rechargeable, but they ran down too quickly. I was afraid...

    Is this a minie ball?

    I dug this bullet in Vancouver, Washington near Ft. Vancouver. It has a fairly thick coat of patina and I'm wondering how old it might be. Size is about .40 by 11/16" (not including cast protrusion in the base). Would anybody venture a guess on its age or era. Ft. Vancouver was an army post from...

    Stock headphones

    I'm having so much fun with my new AT Pro, but being new to the game maybe there is more. So I have questions - Are there really more tones available that my stock headphones are missing? Or is it just a comfort thing for the long hunt?

    First day with the ATP at the river

    This was the second time out with my new AT Pro and I had a blast! My son and I went to a popular river beach on this wet dreary day. I ran in the Pro Zero mode, with 30 set for iron discrimination and sensitivity backed off 2 bars. Ground balance was 91 and I mostly ran with the iron audio on...
