The ground here in my part of Utah had been frozen for the past three weeks until a warm rain came yesterday and started a thaw. I got a chance to use my new 5x8 coil that I got for Christmas. I went to a park that has been hammered, including by yours truly, and went to a picnic area that I had avoided because it was so trashy. The little DD coil performed like a champ! It easily separated metal objects that were practically on top of each other (in one case, I found a zincoln at four inches directly below a wad of foil.

There was a tree I dubbed the

Small coils like the sniper coil on the ACE & GTI series are excellent for separating good targets amongst the junk, no doubt about that. But the AT Series actually take target separation to a new level, by sometimes sounding off on both targets when one is below the other. For example, earlier this week I was showing my buddy how the AT Pro works and about it's excellent audio discrimination characteristics. Well go figure, he got an iffy screechy signal, with both a low iron audio sound plus a high sound. I told him to dig it, as it costs you nothing to find out what it is. Low and behold, out came an old pulltab which was directly on top of some old rusty iron from a tin can. Now, a pulltab is nothing to get excited about, and iron rusted cans are a menace, but the AT Pro gave an audio signal for each of the targets, even when one was on top of each other. The VDI for a pulltab is often times around 60, the same VDI reading that a gold ring can give. Had this been a gold ring, the AT Pro would have picked up the audio for iron, PLUS the gold ring. Simply amazing!

Hope it is real, but even if it is only Sterling Silver (.925), it is still an eye stopper...

The ring size is 9 3/4 so she is a BIG gal. I would hate to make her angry...

Lovely ring, congrats!

The 925 means sterling silver, I think the G indicates Rhodium plating.
