    Listening to the sounds

    I am slowly progressing. I went to an older park and tried to concentrate more on the sounds instead of the target ID numbers. I watch for a quick, soft sound that has a tight pinpoint. Eventually I hope to completely work without the ID, but I still have been avoiding the aluminum zone. Anyway...

    Interference

    I got some interference one time when I was walking back to my vehicle. There was a short telephone pole with a street light on it and an electric meter box of some kind. It was just getting dark but the light was not lit and I suspect it was faulty and attempting to ignite. After I got about...

    Hunting surface targets with low sensitivity setting

    I know it seems counter intuitive to use low sensitivity for ANY target, but I recommend you try it. One thing I found out on the AT Gold is at the lowest sensitivity setting, a gold ring on the surface still hits very good in the DISC 1 mode even if the coil is lifted a bit. In All Metal mode...

    Toss the gold ring practice

    A nugget hubnting book I read says to do this with a gold nugget. I don't know if anyone needs this for ring hunting, but I use a man's 10k ring (hits on ground level at 53) and I toss it in my yard then search for it. It's not so much to find it as it is to hear the sound it makes without...

    Ear ring finds

    Was out last night hunting in All Metal mode and got a signal said 75. Of course i thought it was a zinc and I don't like digging them. I call them "stinkin' zincoln". I only dig if they sound different or deep. Anyway, this signal would not go up to the 76-77 that I always get so I decided to...

    Headphone padding mod

    I cut two doughnut-shaped pieces of closed cell foam about 3/16 inch think and put it inside my headphones under the padding. I removed the original padding first. It just slips over the speaker like a sock and is fairly easy to remove and replace. I used some old sleeping pad closed cell foam I...

    What was I thinking? AT GOLD

    Don't laugh too hard, please. I was practicing in my yard this morning on my gold ring. Again I had trouble getting a clean signal in Disc 1 mode. The ring was on edge so I laid it flat and this helped a lot but I still wasn't satisfied why I couldn't get a good signal with the ring on edge...

    Aluminum vs. gold sounds ATG

    This is one I really would like to know better. The rectangular pull tabs (around 67-69 target ID) sound almost exactly the same as a gold ring to me. There is a stronger BuP sound with a hard "B" and a hard "P" that is a little bit harder and stays in the sound at a little more distance with...

    Silver today with the ATG

    I went to a tot lot today and shifted it into All Metal and full sensitivity. At first I was not thinking and tried to use Disc 1 and almost walked away. Then the light came on in my head and I started to hit tiny targets. First was a fake diamond pin then some iron trash--tiny pieces of wire...

    Gold nugget question AT GOLD

    I know I am supposed to place a small nugget in the ground and then check the discrimination, etc. to make sure I can detect it. My question is: Is there a number not to exceed when setting the iron discrimination? The meter shows gold as low as about "30" but this is not necessarily correct for...

    New AT GOLD owner

    I got access to some nugget hunting (can't get there for a few weeks) and decided I just had to get a gold machine. Not sure how deep this will get, but it sure does better than my Minelab Sovereign on a gold ring and of course the small nuggets won't even register on the Sov. I had a couple...

    Sovereign AM/Disc question

    Most times the all metal sound level is lower than when in discriminate. On small items I can barely hear the tone in all metal. Is this normal? It doesn't seem right. I wonder if the AM/Disc switch needs replacing?
