    AT Gold Threshold changes an octave?

    Here is what I am hearing. I set the threshold on my AT Gold to say 1. GB the machine, Discrim 1 pattern or 2. I will be walking along, swinging the coil, and suddenly, I hear the THRESHOLD tone change an octave upward, and then return to normal. It is NOT a hit per se, and it is...

    His One Final Tone

    Didn't know where to put this, but my closest friend died a month ago today. Robert was a devoted Garrett User. This is my way to get some closure, so I ask that the moderators just let the message fade, and not move it. It is my tribute to a good friend and someone who has loved our hobby...

    Estimating Tree Age when looking for older sites

    I put this on the CTX forum (my native forum), but wanted to cross post to here, as it has some relevelance for several forums on the site. One of the things I love to do, is hunt older sites, mainly in the country. Here in Texas around my particular area (DFW), we don't go past about 1850's...

    One of the things I love to do, is hunt older sites, mainly in the country. Here in Texas around my particular area (DFW), we don't go past about 1850's. In the country, driving around, I am always on the lookout for old homesites. I watch along creeks for rocks, vegetation, remnants of log...

    I remember the day I got off balance.....8 months ago, when I got the CTX. Oh, I read the instructions. I am not like some bozos out there. After 39 years of detecting, I KNOW to read directions. In particular, the Enable GB check box. I always want to enable Ground Balance....... Over the...

    Syringe, but for what, and from what era?

    I found this syringe in an old lot that has produced 1800's artifacts. It is bass ackwards from syringes I have seen. As you can see, the ears on it are by where the needle would be. So, I was hoping someone has seen one before. Is it for animals? When might it be from? Anyone able to...

    Help with raised Number brass button/tag/disk whatsit?

    Anyone got an idea what this is? I found it on a site that has military relics from 1850 or so, but I don't think it is military. The numbers are pretty stylized. The item is brass, and it is cast. The numbers are raised. The edges are not completely rounded over, but there is a "lip" edge. The...
