[cjon455]

Ok, I got home from work and decided heck with this, enoughs enough, I haven't TOUCHED my atpro in 5 days! and even worse, haven't dug silver since the 2nd I ripped out a garden in my yard last weekend as part of my honey do list and decided id play around there a little bit, not expecting to find much but im glad I picked that spot for a short 30 minutes, pulled some junk of course, a nickel, a 1940 something wheat and this neat silver pin/broach thingy, I don't know what it is, some sort of jewelry marked 925 on the back, that makes silver #39 on the year! now I gotta just get myself through tonights 12 hr shift and its getting ready for some beach hunting Monday thru Friday next week, ill be able to update my finds daily, free wifi in the condo!!, thanks for looking and hh!!

I drove an hour from me the other day to a possible spot. Knocked on the door, the elderly lady said go ahead, but she was leaving in a few minutes. I was surprised when she said I could stay while she was gone. This was perfect, I thought. Wrong! I could not ground balance at all. The machine was chattering constantly. Was hard to pinpoint. After Whadifind and I discussed it, he thinks it was electrical interference. The house was 150 years old and originally belonged to her grandfather. I later found out it is rumored that this house was the site of an old whiskey making operation, lol. I am sure there are old silvers hiding there, lol.

Funny how this hobby gives you a find when you're losing hope. Nice piece bud

We should definitely try that out when I get back if you want I can bring my ace 350 too to see if maybe 3 different detectors can weed out any interference. Did u try changing frequency at all?

 

[WHADIFIND]

THAT's what I could do! If I just buried a few silver coins in my yard, then every time I don't find one on my hunts. I can come home and dig one up in my yard! Yeah! Drought's over!!

WTG!

 

[Old Dude]

I changed frequencies. I changed batteries. I did the reset twice. There was an old transformer on a pole in the middle of the yard. There were 2 old capped wells with pump wiring under ground. There was a satellite cable underground. There was at least one old barn that had been torn down and I suspect iron was everywhere around it.

Sounds about right then

Maybe not, but you gave me a way out of my two month silver coin drought!

If you ever get up here, your technique will get you those silvers we missed, lol.

It's strange. I get silver ok. Been finding it pretty regular. Just seems like the coins have stopped.

I still think you should try de-tuning the sensitivity and see if that helps.

I'm always afraid to mess with my sensitivity I'm afraid of losing depth

If the machine is chattering like a machine gun, you ARE losing depth already. So, getting the machine a little more stable just might let you hear that nice gold doubloon that you would otherwise miss. I have found an indian head cent at over 8 inches already, with the sensitivity at only 3 marks. That machine is much more awesome than you're giving it credit. Try it the next time you're out, even with no interference. Just map out a small patch and work it with the sensitivity turned down. See how deep it can be.

Congrats on breaking that slump!!! HH

I'm gonna try that next time I'm out

Your soil looks really sandy in the first pics. Do things show to be more shallow than they really are?

Thats a super zoomed in pic, the garden area seems sandy, the restof the yard is loose, I pop a plug and it just crumbles, thank god its my yard and not a permission
