    Info For Those Going GOLD

    Ran across this while trolling. Thought some of you guys might be interested. 24K = Pure gold 18K - 75% gold 14K = 58.5% gold 12K = 50% gold 10K = 41.6% gold

    Happy Hunting Grounds

    Coins galore! 11 quarters, 24 dimes, 17 nickels, 15 pennies. One junker ring and 2 tokens. No silver but think this is my best day ever as far as quantity goes. I'm kind of hesitant to say this as I didn't think there was any "virgin" ground left but I could hardly put the detector down...

    ATP ground balancing question

    When setting my ground balance either auto or manual, it always comes out within 1 or 2 points of each other no matter which way I do it. Depending on where I am, it can come in anywhere from the high 60's to about 80-81. I have seen people talking about offsetting their ground balance a few...

    First try in zero mode

    Did a little better in this mode but listening to all those sounds is a trip. Just some clad, a beach boardwalk token and the little crucifix tests at 12k. Was VDI 44-45

    Bye Bye Scorp:cry:

    Kind of sorry to see it go but gave it to a friend of mine who has been wanting to get into metal detecting but just doesn't have the money to buy a detector. He's really rarin to go and has the user's manual along with the two DVD's that came with it to help get him started. It will be...

    First Silver Dime (Kind of)

    Don't know what happened to the rest of her. This is all that was left. Think I'll start wearing gloves. This one almost got me.

    The Take:rofl:

    All those pull tabs were supposed to be gold rings. Don't know what happened. Quarters have been scarce for me with the PRO. I know others of you have said just the opposite. Mostly my machine seems to like pennies, nickels and pull tabs. Oh and it loves those underwater sprinkler systems...

    N/T

    Well I'm finally going to ask. Been awatching and awaitin for alla this time for some sort of explanation or clue but haven't seen hide nor hair of an answer. It's probably right in front a my face but I'm just not seeing it. Just what the flyin-flyin does the term "N/T" mean??? I could hazard...

    One of my macro shots

    No I didn't dig this one. Wish I had though ! This was with a Canon XTi with f/2.8 100mm macro lens.

    AT PRO GOOD HOLE/BAD HOLE RATIO

    Has anyone else experienced a big up-kick in success rates with the ATP? The AT Pro is it for me. I'm like a kid in a candy store after looking at my results and doing some comparisons. No gold yet or expensive jewelry and I'm not getting rich but I sure do like the numbers. The first seven...

    Is it Gold?

    The clasp on one end of this bracelet was missing when I dug it. I assume that's where it would have been marked as to gold content? No markings on the other end. Appears to be a ladies bracelet as it's quite thin. It doesn't look to be tarnished in any way and is seven inches long at 2.5g...

    15 Keys In A Hole

    Photo of my first 3 days with the AT Pro. The 15 keys and the silver looking jobber-do were all found in the same hole at the fairgrounds. Looks like they were down there a while. Some of the other coins were from a local park. Old ground for me but these are some of the ones I missed with...

    To the Beach but with which detector?

    Ran into one of the groundskeepers at Fairgrounds today while I was tectin. He said his friend goes to the beach every Monday right along the boardwalk area and usually has some really nice scores. Jewelry, coins and once a Rolex watch. So why not go since it's only about a 40 minute drive...

    Eleven Coin Hole

    Eleven quarters in one hole. No biggie to a lot of you I guess but it was my biggest single-hole find to date. Pulled out 8 of em and got halfway filling the hole back up and decided to sweep with the pointer again--found 2 more. Filled hole completely and swept it with the tector and up...

    Motion disc vs AM mode

    Other than increased depth, what is the advantage of using AM mode/manual GB when it comes to gold? I've found that when using motion disc with disc set at default I can pick up gold (test piece on the surface) and still have the advantage of not getting any iron hits. Seems it would save a...

    Help With Era?

    Anyone know what era this might be from? Dug it up a while ago with the ACE250. It's about 2.75" in diameter. It's just a single piece item. No missing pieces or hinge marks. Photo is showing the front/back views. http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/7899/mirror2n.jpg

    Can Some Explain the Difference Between

    the terms automatic ground balance/fixed ground balance? One in the same? Does that mean auto ground tracking? Trying to figure out what the Scorpion is doing. Here's a quote I recently read -- "ALL current Brand-name detectors have "autotrak" inherent in their circuitry. Without it none of...

    Cleaning Suggestions?

    Scorped this yesterday at the fairgrounds. Not even sure it's a coin it's so encrusted. Larger than a quarter and a bit smaller than a half. Maybe a bottle cap but larger and a lot heavier. Might be just a slug of some sort or token. Scrubbed it with liquid soap and soft brush initially...

    Return to the Reservoir and the Catch

    Beautiful day. Mid-70's. Beautiful drive up into the mountains to the reservoir. Just me and one lonely fisherman there with his dog. Any luck? I asked. No, what about you? Just a quarter so far after 2 hours but I found all those sinkers you lost. He kinda grinned and said yeah but it's...
