    Garrett Ace350 For Sale

    I'm cutting back on my arsenal, and have decided to let my trusty 350 go. It is completely stock with the exception of an extension for the headphone jack. The headphones plug into the rear of the cuff now, and the wire is inside the handle, so it doesn't tangle. The unit is in perfect...

    What to do with clad??

    Hey guys, I pulled out all of the boxes of clad that I have piled up over the years, and started cleaning it up. I have noticed that the zinc pennies are usually in horrible condition, and lots of the coppers aren't much better. I have been tumbling coins for a few days, but some of them just...

    AT coil suggestions?

    Well, I have decided to sell my Ace350 to buy a few more goodies for AT Pro. Now I have the problem of figuring out what I want to purchase. I want a smaller coil, but can't decide between the sniper coil or the 5x8. Most of the areas that I hunt are not overly trashy, but I have had a few...

    Got a problem with my AT... Looking for suggestions.

    Hey guys, I have been out of metal detecting for quite a while due to a back injury, but have been able to get out for a few hunts lately. On the first hunt, my AT was very noisy. Hunting at the same old air base that I have probably put 100 hours on the AT in the past. I lowered sensitivity...

    Finally!!

    Took the AT Pro out today for an hour long hunt, but decided to hunt in zero mode with iron disc set at 20. I have been in a dry spell lately that has been so bad that I have just stopped trying. Today has me interested again. In an area that I have beat to death with several different...

    VDI of 99...

    Has anyone ever found anything worth keeping that had a VDI of 99? I always end up digging flattened cans. I have never dug a silver dollar, and am not sure where they read. HH Darren

    Pulltabs....:pulltab:

    Hey guys, I know that everyone here has certainly dug their share of tabs, and most people like finding wheaties as a signal of the possibility of silver. My question is, has anyone ever seen a chart that shows dates of older pulltabs? I know that they have changed a lot over the years, but I...

    New to the CZ.

    Hey guys, I just purchased a CZ-5. I have always been a Garrett guy, started out on a 350, then picked up a 250, and eventually an AT Pro. I thought the AT was all that until I went detecting with a buddy from Florida. He let me use his CZ-5, and I instantly fell in love with the machine. I...

    Is the AT Pro coil plug proprietary?

    Does anyone know if the plug for the AT Pro coil is available anywhere? I have several other 15khz coils that I'd like to try with the pro, but can't find a plug to fit the AT. Thanks. Darren

    A new signal discovered yesterday!

    Never had a detector do this before, but the AT will signal on lightning strikes!! ( Was ringing up as a mid 50's VDI and mid tone.) I was trying to stay out to finally locate that silver coin for the day, but it just wasn't happening. Finally decided that it probably wasn't worth being...

    compadre or silver uMax on coins and jewelry??

    Thinking about getting back into a compadre or silver uMax. I have a Teknetics Delta 4000 that I'm thinking about trading for one. The delta has maybe 10 hours on it, if that. With all paperwork and box. I'm familiar with the compadre, but not the silver. Mainly I want to break my dependency on...

    Propointer durability mod

    I noticed that my propointer was getting a little worn toward the end of the unit, so I went to lowes looking for a solution. I found an underground UF splice kit that had a section of heat-shrink tubing large enough to go over the shaft of the propointer. Below are photos of the results. The...

    Ok guys, I have another AT question.

    I have been using the AT for about a month now, and am starting to understand it much better. Lately, I have been getting a lot of chatter from the unit, even when it is sitting on the ground while I'm digging a target. I'm using it in pro zero mode, iron disc set at 40, sensitivity at 3 bars...

    Ok, this thing goes DEEP!!

    [attachment 200470 rsz_img_0416.jpg]Beeping around a little today, and found a merc and a couple of wheaties, and then got a nickle signal at 10". The little pendant was at about 6", and in really mineralized soil. (ground balanced at 93). Loving this machine! I just wish I had purchased...

    Hot soil? Target ID shift??

    Well, hit a new site this morning, and the AT ground balanced at 93. Most locations around here are in the 80's. I did make sure I was ground balancing in a location with no metal in the ground. I noticed that all of the dime signals I dug were copper pennies. Normally copper pennies show up...

    Finally starting to figure out Pro Mode! Hit a lil' silver today!

    I have about 8 hours total time with the AT, and I'm finally starting to be able to translate what it is telling me. Certainly not fluent yet, but it is all starting to make a little more sense. Today I dug a ton of clad, a 1919 wheatie, a 1935 wheatie, and finally hit silver. Found a '64...

    AT Audio tones?

    Hey guys, I'm still playing with the AT trying to figure it out, and have been using it in pro mode/coin. It seems that every time I get a high tone surrounded by a broken mid tone, it is always trash. I certainly don't mind digging the trash if there is a slight chance for something good, but...

    I'm stepping up!

    Well, I finally broke down and ordered an AT Pro. It is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I have an Ace 250 and 350, and am quite familiar with them. How much of a learning curve is there for the pro mode? HH Darren

    I think I won the idiot award last night...

    I have seen some of the backlight mods done on other machines, and night hunting is starting to sound like a good idea as summer gets hotter and hotter. So I figured I'd open my 250 and see how tough it would be. Took the battery cover off, took the batteries out, removed the two screws, and...
