The C$ was HOT today! :hot:

I have permission to hunt an old house and last time there I got a couple buffalos, a couple IH's and a silver ring. I went back to finish it up this morning and they were having a YARD SALE!:veryangry: Plan "B" didn't work out either, so I went to plan "C" - Park Pirate:blush: Well, Plan "C" worked out pretty well. I came home with another pocket full of "Pulltabs" I managed 3.5 rings, a decent ladies watch and the gold bracelet. The bracelet is 18.7grams of 24K gold! This is the kind of day you expect in the water, not a park! But I ain't complaining!

Tony,

I have been water hunting for 5 years and never gotten a bracelet like that one! 24K no less WoW!

I bet you're glad they had that yard sale going.

Big Congrats!

Tom

If I remember correctly, I was using the "625" set up. Nothing notched out. (I never do) most of them rang up anywhere from 9-16. I always go looking for pull tabs. Some people may think I'm crazy, but I have found at least one ring the last 6 times I have hunted. It also doesn't hurt to be LUCKY! The silver ring up top rang up as a "35". I knew that one was a silver ring before it came out of the ground Welcome to the forum! We are looking forward to some good posts.

I'd rather be LUCKY than good any day!

Thats very interesting - I have been using 710 and seems to work pretty well in most situations, unless there is too much trash - sometimes I wonder if I'm running too hot. Most of the time I am notching out foil - the last couple of times out I did not notch out foil and the C$ seemed more erractic at the 710. I would welcome any suggestions on the best settings to use. HH - Hawkeye Jim.

One I often use myself here in New England where we have alotta mineralization so that's about as "hot" as I can go. 810 is about the max, but there I have some chatter to deal with. As you mentioned 710 is slightly "hot", but if that's what you've been using & become accustomed to great
How I usually handle it is let the site dictate your setting. Like begin hunting on 710. Then if you hear some chatter, from iron, minerals, hot rocks, powerlines etc., then I'll simply drop the threshold down some (say 20 maybe). I, like most, probably prefer a more "silent search". Especially if your hunting all day chatter will get to ya after awhile (especially w. volume on 10 & using Killer B phones) But, I used a 1266x for years & grew to tolerate all kinds a "pops & clicks". So, to me running the C$ "hot" is no bother at all & seems quiet in comparison. I promote the 525 setting only because I wish the preset was 525 & do use it alot in trashy areas. HH, Bill

Thanks much for the info Bill - am always interested in learning new methods and settings to help locate more finds - my previous Fisher was also a 1266X and I never really cared for the "rice krispies" effect - in that respect, I really like the C$ and the way it performs. Thanks & HH - Hawkeye Jim.
