    AT Gold ground balance

    I recently started using the 8.5" by 11" coil on the At gold. I've noticed that my ground balance numbers have dropped into the 20's. While using the 5"by8" it would balance in the 40's. This is hunting the same ground and using the auto ground balance feature. Is this normal when using a bigger...

    AT Pro/AT Gold iron disc

    Thinking about picking up a AT Gold. Wondering if it performs as well as the Pro in iron infested sites or is one better than the other? I've read that the AT Gold is deeper which is good...but I want to make sure it performs just as good in heavy iron?

    finds from last couple hunts

    Some finds from my last couple hunts. Various bullets, buck n balls, primer caps, flat buttons, part of what i believe to be a pocket knife, and a lead ornate piece that may not be of period. The third picture is proof to me that the weather in louisiana is still not cool enough to keep the...

    Last hunts finds

    Some finds from my hunt last week. A couple harness rings, a key hole cover for a padlock, a 1848 large cent, and a musket or shotgun barrel!

    Finds from the weekend

    Me and the wife went out for a few hours on saturday and managed a few finds. I had pretty much given up on this sight and decided to use the 10.5 inch coil on the 1270 hoping for some deeper targets. The results were pleasing to me considering i had been over the area hundred times before...

    Button and bullet I.D. needed

    Found this bullet yesterday, could use some help identifying it. It measures 50 cal. and has a solid base. About the same length as a 3 ringer. The button was dug at Port Hudson in the 60's by my father. It appears to have had an iron back which was missing when he dug it. Forgot to measure it...

    Electrolysis for iron relics?

    Been using electrolysis for some time now but have not figured out if it's best to let delicate iron objects dry out first or start them soon after digging them? Any input would be great. Thanks
