Hunted for about 2 hours this morning, knee deep water. bugs are terrible this year, mosquitoes and those little black bugs that bite at first and then the pine flys came out and it was time to gooooo. Flys dont just poke, they take a piece of skin
I started right out in pro mode (zero) since day one and its just easy to tell targets. Ground balanced in the water at 43 and ran sens one notch below full to keep the chatter down. It really isolates targets up well, great job by Garrett on the coil performance but I found the design catches stones in the holes where the "spokes" of the coil are. solid spokes would have been better.
One thing I found was I was digging these "tin coated" pulltabs in addition to the more common aluminum ones. they sound good but a tad scratchy........but anytime that could be something else mixed in so its worth digging them. As you can see bottlecaps were very easy to figure out and ignore(jumping numbers and jumping audio as well), even when you circle the target to get a better read. nice job there Garrett, bottlecaps are a pain in the butt with some other detectors like the Tiger Shark.
The smaller ring is marked 10k, one of the smallest Ive found ever and it weighs only .6 grams. now thats small!
The other ring is unmarked but is both etched with initials and a date(wedding band I would say) and also there are small scratches on it and the color remains constant so Im hoping its white gold. It has the weight at 7 grams and the feel to it, sound when dropped on a counter.
the small ring read 43 on the AT pro meter and the larger ring read 47. Both give a nice rich full sound, very distinguishable from say one of those tin coated pulltabs.
I also dunked the AT pro, held it under water for awhile to test it and its fine. Its one of the newer ones, got it from Bart at Big Boys Hobbies.
So far its a really nice detector with great audio
