I haven't posted much since the switch, from the Fisher F70 to the ATP. Work has been a real pain, working us so many hours and not leaving me much free time to do anything. Finally got out a week or so ago and hot my first gold ring with the ATP, it's the single 10k ring that weights 1.15 grams. It hit around 43-44 hit hard and had a good sound, today I got out and found two rings, which is a tie for my best gold day, for total number of rings in a day. They are both 10k and they weigh together 2.45 grams, they hit 43-44 and 44-45. I can say that the ATP does hit small gold higher on the scale than the Fisher that I had. So it will more easily find small gold do to just where it falls on the scale. I dig everything that hits 35 or so and above on the ATP and at that level it seems to did discriminate some of the problem items that are a pain in the butt to dig. We have decided to hit a new stretch of beach, where the wave action normally rolls the pull tabs into a mess that you can't hardly swing a coil over without getting 10 hits. But apparently there are plenty of gold rings in this stretch also, someone has been kind enough to go over it and get all the change out of the way for us, guess the tabs where too much for them. I must have dug 200 tabs this morning, and only hit 7 coins and two gold rings. Can't wait to get back out again.
