I haven't posted here in a while because I have been detecting a swimmen hole. I don't like taking my Trac out into the water but today I did after I tied it off to myself. I have been hitting this spot with my AT-Gold and I have pulled 9 silver rings and some other junk bling along with about $20. in coins. The water has just about dried up at this place and its down to just a few pools that are ankle deep. This place is a river bed that is mostly gravel with a layer of heavy black sand under it. If I run my Trac in auto sens. +3 it will stay down in the single digits. So I run it in manual 20 and put up with the chirping. I am also using my 5" Sunray coil. All of the targets I dug were deep on average about 10". I dug the bracelet first. It is my biggest silver so far and it weighed 39.5 g. The other 2 rings were just repeatable chirps with numbers like 1/37 and as I dug them they got better. The heavy black sand really messes with things. This has been my best year at this place. So far I have pulled over 3.5 ounces of silver out of this hole and I know there is more there. No Gold yet but it is there.
