Hi,
My name is Julien and I live in Cartersville,GA. I'm 53 and new to detecting. I bought a Soverign GT, a Sun Ray S-5 Invader 5" coil, the ML meter, and a pair of the new Sun Ray Pro headphones. I have owned and operated a pest control company in NW Atlanta and Cobb county for about 20 years and find that it opens countless doors to really good private property. I got permission to search a yard of a house in Cartersville today, the house was built in 1867. Yep, 1867! Anyway...
My other hobby is electric guitar and my wife is really glad I have picked this up because maybe now I won't be buying another amp every month, laff.
So, my question. I've been looking at the Sun Ray S-1 probe for the GT and I can't figure out exactly what it will do for me that will be worth 200 bucks or so. Is it just a pinpointer? because I can pinpoint fairly well with the GT OR... will it help me to ID a target? or what??
BTW, I found a couple of cool diecast toys today in the yard of my wife's office/used to be house. It was built in the late 40's. I found a little gun, a six-shooter about 1.5 inches long with a working trigger/hammer. It has a RR on the grip so I figure it's a Roy Rogers toy, the other one was a couple of feet away. It's a diecast Coca~Cola bottle about 1.5 inches tall, I haven't cleaned either yet.
BTW, I have had my gear for about 2wks now and am going out most every afternoon for a few hours, I am still on the hard side of the learning curve but I know that the only way around the curve is to put in the time and I am enjoying every minute of it.
