Got out with my Ace and Royal Sabre. The newer coins came from a relatively trash-free school-and most were found by the Ace. The Royal Sabre has a 4" coil and got the dirty work in the trashy park. Started out in notch mode UNTIL I found the ring by eyeballing it-too bad it wasn't real gold. Then I found one of the dirty dimes and an "iffy" signal next to it. I then switched to standard disc, rotated the notch control knob till the tabs gave a mixed tone and rescanned the hole. I found a QUARTER, DIME, AND PENNY next to the first dime. And the eyeballed ring now gave a high tone, indicating it was more like a square tab. Just a few targets I may have been without because of the notch.

Well, I guess tones DO rule....

Yeah, you gotta watch them notch set ups. I personally dont us them for eliminating trash, as much as I do for a sort of gut check on the tones themselves. It goes kinda like this:
Detector: "Beeep..."
ME: "Yep thats a tab range tone. Lets switch to notch mode and see..... hmmmm, sho nuff 'seems to be a tab range target, 'cause now it is gone. Okay, now lets switch back...."
Detector: "Beeeep..."
ME: "Now its back, same tone. Gotta be a tab range target. Better dig it up - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dang! It IS a tab. All that digging for a stinkin' pull-tab. I'll be a &$*& monkeys uncle!!
Well, it'll be a ring next time...."
And so it goes.
(I guess now I know why the people at the park give me wide berth, what with all the mutterin and cussin Im doin'.)

Slingshot don't make me want a golden.If you find something good with the golden please don't post it.I have to travel light!.Or whatever you are using?.
Oh dear, if you don't want to see what a Golden will do - you'll be glad you didn't see my Golden Campaign last winter.Brokensignal said:
For a month I made it my only detector, one of my projects being the systematic clean up of my local high school.
(I also discovered what a great relic detector it is, too. Yep, the Golden as a relic detector.
Cranked out to max SENS and high THRESH Hyper Tune mode over a plowed field, it ran ultra smooth. And you cannot believe what a difference that low iron tone makes. In fact, I found it was generally as good as My Vaquero, while helping me to ID deep iron - instead of hitting on it like the V likes to do.)
Well, I'm using a Royal Sabre which is similar to the Golden. It only has two tones to ID, but you can rotate the notch width control and cause the tones to split at tabs-thus giving you three tones instead of the 6-12Brokensignal said:
tones of the Golden. It doesn't have the ED-120 or a/m mode like the Golden, though. So I'm gettin' by with the Royal-but knowing the tone meanings from all the past posts about the Golden, plus the fact that it can run in a/m WITH the tones just about drives me batty. I try to dismiss it from my mind, but the Royal works so well and I can just imagine how the Golden would.......
That's the THIRD problem I forgot to mention.Onus said:One thing I learned with my SilverUmax is to work out on the discrimination knob since it doesn't have an icon screen. I can usually figure out what I have under the coil that way. I think this is true dirt fishing!Onus
I have the Silver umax-from several years back-and I love it, too. I've found some good stuff with it. I just have some trashy places that no one likes to work and the tones are so compelling........
I did a thorough analysis of the Golden and it's trash discernment abilities last December. Then I posted it on the-forum-which-we cannot-name. Meaning, the censorship filtering here at findmall will not allow me to post a link to it.slingshot said:That's the THIRD problem I forgot to mention.Onus said:One thing I learned with my SilverUmax is to work out on the discrimination knob since it doesn't have an icon screen.
