Some MAJOR Bling & Coins Found By A GT At A Site Worked By Others

[Critterhunter]

Since all the forums around the net (not just this one) seem to be lagging right now due to the heat, I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw up some pics and a story from a fellow GT user that responded elsewhere to a little thread I wrote about the merits of digging the "trash" signals nobody else would at 'pounded out sites". Anyway, this guy said he often does that very thing and has the bling and coins to prove it works. I kept his name out of it even though he posted this publicly and I know he is a member of our forum. He'll take credit for it if he wants I'm sure. Here's a few quotes from him in that thread. He was refering to the "dig it all" approach I was pushing in the thread I posted...

"That is exactly what made my finds of gold and silver go up this past winter and early spring with the GT. If it makes a click or clack or any kind of conductive noise it got dug period. I was going to find out what gave the signal. Much to my surprise I came away from one small old freshwater beach with 11 gold rings, several silver medalions and silver coins. Your thoughts/instructions have tons of merit and I highly advise them to the robust hearty guys and gals. You will be surprised more times than not I'm sure digging it all. This is just some of the stuff from this area........."

"Loaded and nobody knew it! It had been hunted by quite a few detectors but they missed a lot of old old pulltabs, The GT sniffed them out.............click, crackle, pop, all amongst the nulling of the machine."

One more pic to post. And by the way, here's a link to my little "dig it all" thread I posted in Findmall's main detecting forum. It's not the same place I posted it that he responded to, but others chimed into this thread as well with their own thoughts on this approach. I believe much more awaits to be found at sites others have long since given up on. Of course with the GT the machine alone can pull good coin signals out of a "dead" site that other machines just aren't giving a good enough hit on to bother digging, but when you start to dig the iffy stuff or the "junk" signals that even the Sovereign can't manage to pull a better signal out of or you just know is a solid "junk" target ID, that's when you know you are "really" the only one hunting that site for the very first time in a very large sense.

I've been to small sites I gridded the tar out of with many different machines over many years and suddenly some rather easy good silver signals where popping up with my GT like the place had never been hunted. And I'm talking even shallow silver that will make you scratch your head and think "Why didn't all my prior other machines find that one?" Sure, those types of easy silvers will come when a site is hunted with a Sovereign for the first time. But when you start to dig the "obvious" junk signals, that's where things get even more interesting.

Not only will silver coins pop up that just didn't read right for some reason, but also of course the gold rings, old tokens, buttons, neat relics, and other great finds that have been passed over by thousands of others for the last 40+ years. Until every single signal is gone from that site don't ever consider it hunted out, and when you do that then change the angle of your grid and you'll be surprised what else sounds off only from that direction. Use the "odd" angle. Instead of parallel or 90 degrees to a landmark as is human nature to do, grid it at a diagonal angle and you'll hear stuff that is a complete null for everybody else.

Thats some pretty impressive stuff. The GT can sniff out the good stuff without much of a problem. It can get the good stuff by slowing down and listening very closely to ALL the signals and NOT digging it all or it can get the good stuff by digging it all. It's the operator's choice. Either way when you learn the GT you can dig some nice old coins in worked over places that others missed because they just couldn't hear the signal with their machine. I'm so glad I found the GT.
Good luck Gary
