A Simple Trick On Your Garrett To See If It's Junk or Not....

How many times have you swung your coil over a target from different angles, only to get some good.....and some bad readings. Well, there is something you can do to sharpen the reading on the machine......I call it the "Garrett One Step". The next time you get a signal like that, pinpoint it and then stamp on the target HARD, as if you were stepping on a spider. Then swing your coil over it. It will either disappear, (junk) sound worse (junk) or give a clear sound meaning that you probably have a good target under there.

Quite often junk in the ground, including coin sized objects build up a layer of oxide on them, which makes the machine read them as good targets. When you stamp on them, you break up this layer of oxide, and the machine will read it as junk. Of course coins will build up a layer of oxide too, however with coins it reads them as a slightly larger target resulting with your machine reading a much deeper coin.

Try the Garrett "One Step"......it really works!

I heard that before somewhere but forgot about it. THanks for tweaking my memory. THat would also shake up a rust pocket. Wonder what would happen if you carried a sod tamper with you.:)

Got something actually better....

A Periscope Detector from OTT Technologies: Insert the 15" Rod with its pulse induction circuit. As it approaches the target the pulses increase. Through Inductance and Conductivity, will tell you if its Iron, Non-Iron, Coinage, even between gold ring and an aluminum tab.

No Stomping or violence involved.
 
its also excellent at night because it scares the dew worms out of their holes.:rofl::razz:

I don't how many times I did that trick and bend down and the dang worms are wiggling out of their holes or I see a pile of dew mush !:heh:
 
I bought mine on ebay. It's not junk!!!!

Just kidding...Should be a good weekend in the NE for detecting, nice moist soil!!! Go Get 'em!
