    Another Class Ring Find, But My First With The Equinox

    I just spoke with the gentleman who is the rightful owner of this beautiful 2006 Texas A&M Class Ring I found yesterday with my Equinox 800. I was using the stock coil and I got a strong VDI 27 signal. After I retrieved the ring from the ground, it’s VDI jumped from 22 - 27. A friend of mine...

    [attachment 360001 IMG_2842.jpg] I received a strong Audio Signal from all directions with a Target ID of 37 and from one hole out came Two Large Pieces of Iron, a Quarter, a Penny, and a Sterling Silver Bracelet with Italy stamped on it. I decided not to rely so much on what the Target ID...

    Equinox 800 Advanced Settings Questions

    I am unable to use advanced settings for: Park2, Field2, Beach2 except for changing the Iron Bias for those programs. Park1, Field1, and Beach1 allow me to use all of the advanced settings. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my machine?

    First Recovery

    I received permission to detect a very large area where a yearly festival has been held for over 40 years. The owner informed me he lost a very precious hand-made emblem off of his horse saddle that he thought was made of silver. He showed me the area where he lost it. I was very fortunate to...

    Finally a Gold/Silver find with my At Max

    This is a James Avery Retired 14K Yellow Gold Sterling Silver Peace Dove Heart Ring I found on Sunday, January 07, 2018. Instead of using my super sniper coil, I recently switched to my 5X8" DD Search Coil. After making the switch to the larger Coil, I have had many more jewelry finds even...

    AT MAX Experiences & Questions

    I have been using the New Garrett AT Max almost exclusively for 2 months instead of my other 7 detectors (Minelab CTX 3030, Minelab GT, Fisher F75, Tesoro Cibola, Tesoro Lobo, Tesoro Compadre, & Garrett AT Pro). After proper Ground Balancing to readings in the 70’s to High 80’s, Sensitivity...

    I Think My Tesoro Compadre Paid For Itself Today

    [attachment 348391 IMG_1718.JPG] Today I decided to use as little discrimination as possible and then use more discrimination once I discovered a target. I was hoping to find gold jewelry. I guess a Sterling Silver James Avery Bracelet is also a good enough find and I have no complaints...

    F75 Pinpoint Trouble After Changing Some Settings

    I am having a hard time learning what part of the coil to use for Pinpointing with my F75 especially when I changed the settings on it so it would run more smoothly in a high trash environment. I got a tip from a tech at Kellyco to go into all metal and turn the threshold to -5 then go back to...

    Garrett Has Wonderful Customer Service

    I called Garrett because the rubber part that goes over my Pro-Pointer's on off switch disintegrated after 8 years of use. They said they would send me a new one free of charge. The rubber part is necessary or else the PRO-Pointer won't work properly. Thank you so much Garrett.

    F75 5" Coil Overload Signal Could Actually Be a GOLD RING?

    I purchased an F75 around two weeks ago. I took off the Stock Coil and replaced it with a 5"DD Coil. Then I conducted several air tests before I went to a school to do some detecting. During these Air Tests as long as my Sensitivity was at least 30, I receive an Overload Signal Sound 100% of...

    My oldest Find to Date

    [attachment 345750 FullSizeRender-34.jpg] I just found out today this button is 110 years old and I donated to a museum. The curator I spoke with told me it was in excellent shape and she said it would not be hard for her to clean. The button was only a couple of inches deep. I actually...

    My CTX Sniffs Out Another Silver Ring.

    [attachment 345088 FullSizeRender-33.jpg] I got permission to detect some private property today and started out using a Compadre, but then I switched to my CTX. I am really glad I made the switch because I received a Target ID of 12-46 that sounded really solid. I figured I would be digging...
