Explain this one????:confused:

I am starting to get the hang of this AT but it does confuse me a lot. I was working a very trashy area that I could not work with my other detectors even with the small coils on them. It just gave multiple bad signals.
Even with the 11" coil on the AT it worked pretty dog gone good. I wouldn't want to spend many hours listening to all those signals. But took it for about 2 hours and I could pick out some good finds. Ended up with 15 pennies 1 dime 1 quarter and many bottle caps. I am thinking of a small coil but really do not like those 4" coils.
It is taking me and the AT some time to get use to each other. I really think it is worth it because just what little I know about the AT I am getting some fine results.

In the same hole. Reading mid 80's. Dug the pull tab a few inches down. Garrett pin pointer went off. Dug the 1919 wheat 3-4"down. Garrett pin pointer went off. Dug the 2002 quarter 5-6" down. How was the wheat above the quarter?
I am running Pro coin mode iron set 35 and iron on 3 bars sensitivity...

Maybe the wheatie was lost after the quarter

I wish Garrett made a small 5" DD, so far that little 4.5" concentric has been too impressive from all the reports I've read.

Maybe the wheat fairy put it there

Lots of possibilities, maybe the ground had been aerated, pushing a surface coin about exactly 5 inches, the length of the spikes. I deal with that a lot. The wheat could have a recent drop, my 9 yr. old son found a 1920 wheat on the floor of Krogers about a month ago........heck I found an 1893 IH and didn't know I had it until I started washing all the coins, the rest of the pennies were memorials! I use a screwdriver to pop all my clad and nothing that day was over 3-4 inches.

As to the PRO, work that big coil slow real slow and you can get some amazing results in pretty thick trash, a slow lot slower than this

The little 4.5 inch fella has its place, it works great under bleachers, and around fill dirt, and burned down houses and smaller confined areas like tot lots that are fenced with chain linked.

Quarterhorse you and I know that is the true scientific explanation. The wheat fairy.! I got a merc dime in change at Target and I showed the young girl and she said oh, that is a foreign coin. Sorry, let me give you another dime. I said no, I will take all the foreign coins you have.

Cal Cobra I like the 6.5" coil the best. I run my detectors most of time with 6.5" coil on. Garrett has the 4" and than the 9". I guess I will stay with the 11" for now.
I am enjoying using the AT. Thanks for reading and Happy Trails....Z
