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 set to 2 bars from Max, Threshold of 3, Zero Mode Iron Discrimination 32, Z-Link Headphones
Stock Coil, then with the same settings I went with the 4.5” Super Sniper, and then the 5 X 8 Coil.
With both the Stock & 5 X 8 Coils, I hear more static for
some unknown reason when I encounter Iron especially if I have Iron Auto on.
I hear far less static if I turn Iron Auto off.
I know I must lose depth, but when I use the Super Sniper Coil with the above settings I hear far less static when I encounter Iron as long as I do not have Iron Audio on.
I hear the least static if I switch over to the Coins Mode instead of Zero Mode. Unfortunately in this Mode I am losing Potential Gold and Plat. finds.
I have tried turning my Sensitivity lower, but I still hear lots of static especially when I use the larger coils as opposed to the Super Sniper when I detect in areas with lots Iron and highly mineralized soil. (College Station/Bryan, TX)
My question is has anyone else experienced hearing lots of Static when they have gone over iron targets or when they are detecting more highly mineralized soil with the Z-Link Headphones?
