Second Day ATP

[GBalance]

Ground Balance 87
Pro Zero
Sensitivity Maxed
Iron Audio of and on as needed for verifying targets


The coins are cad.

The trash:

The copper strips came in as a Target ID of 99. It was clear that this target was not a coin. The PinPoint does allow one to outline the target. It was clear it did not have the outline of a deep coin, but I had to dig something that look really, really good, at 10+ inches.

The one small piece of iron, and the bottle cap did Target ID in the 80s, but the Iron Audio showed that these would be bad targets. I now have to just get use to what the ATP is displaying is accurate. I could have saved myself some deep holes and some time. The metal rod also had a 99 Target ID and it was deep, and I just had to see what it was. Its outline did not reflect a coin.

The car looked like a quarter, and just thundered with a high tone, even though it was down over six inches.


At this point I am not sure that $500.00 or $800.00 more dollars would find anything different as far as results. Has some had a side by side with a Minelab or something? Although the technology is different, it seems that this implementation of a single frequency detector is pretty darn good.....

[size=large]just being able to tell bottle caps is a big plus in my book. maybe those who really know their sounds and machines can tell also but for now i'll be happy with the machine being able to tell me by switching around.

I'm still new to the ATP but have been comparing what it tells me with the tone roll in pro mode to something Uncle Willy posted last year. If you get a good repeatable bell tone but get a "boop" when you swing forward off the tail of the coil, it's junk. I believe he was referring to the Ace250 at the time but so far, it's worked every time with my ATP.
