i had a very short trip to the creek yesterday, found a few sinkers, piece of wire and one penny that the AT Gold rang up as a zinc clunker penny. this morning, after a very late start, I ran out to a small basketball spot and hit it as quickly as I could. I dig most everything but today after numerous pull rings, wire and foil, decided to do the coin only thing to see how well those VDI numbers work. I quickly found that the numbers for regular (non zinc) pennies was really consistent as well as the zinc. Then after the first dime, was pretty certain that I was digging dimes the next four times. I only quit because the sweat was filling my glasses faster than I could wipe them clean. I pasted up a ton of 40's to 50 just for this test and I will go back, hopefully a lot earlier, and thin them out. The more I use this AT GOLD, the more I like it. I did begin digging a hole that first rang up as a weak 90, was pretty excited, even in the heat digging the very hard packed clay. About 10 inches down the signal had changed somewhat and out popped a chunk of some sort of heavy lid. i checked the hole again several times to make sure but that was it, false alarm but still learning so all is well. I keep getting more and more happy with the upgrade. nothing spectacular yet but very encouraging to say the least. still being relatively new to actively pursuing MD, my bucket list is big and empty for the most part, this is a very awesome hobby/sport!
