:canadaflag:lowered lake gives me new insight to my Garretts

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....Navy Davy and I hammered the lower lake several times and each time it was refilled and emptied again new targets appeared.

We found that even the weakest signal often proved to be a good one as it was on it's side or near a bad target.

Even though I have used the Freedom 3 Plus since it came out over 22 years ago I was not aware of the capability of this machine at it's fullest.

Point being is that no matter how well we feel that we have mastered a machine, it's capabilities and honed our skill with that particular machine there is still always something more to learn.

Had taken the AT Pro to this site and it was a disaster. So many targets, so much chattering and not as stable as the old Garrett for this type of hunt.

Just a thought and a I'd like to say a special thanks to Navy Davy for helping me out during these walking challenged times!

Whatever detector you feel comfy with will be the one you'll use.

I went to the river with my new 5 X 8 coil on my At/Pro and it does chatter in a lot of trash and I really believe I did better with the 8.5 X 11 inch coil, but I just got to get used to it. It still picked a dime and quarter out of all that trash and I found two pennies by sight on the bank. If it wasn't for the pip, I would go crazy in some of the trashy areas. These detectors are like motorcycles or bicycles, if you think you've mastered them, they throw you on your head. There was so much trash against the wall when I found the 3 rings a few weeks ago, they never rang twice, but the pip let me know something was in all that trash.
Lightning ran me off twice and everybody else, but I hope after this week I can get back to going at least once a week.
