AT Pro, code of 00 question

[Bev]

I heard the other day that a gold chain will come up as double zero "00" and no sound on an AT Pro and that is the reason not many are found. What are your thoughts on this? I havent tested it out yet on one of my own, just wondering what you all think.

 

[Smudge]

Never heard of that one, Bev.

I'm trying to understand why that would be true.

I can't think of any alloy in gold jewelery that would bring the target I.D. down to 00.

Well that would have to be good........... For every time you get a double 00 you know you have a gold chain............................ Were other detectors will not show a gold chain at all.... In numbers or sound.............. So that means the AT is way ahead of the other detectors...........

If I were you I would get a range of jewelry and coins, then I would get a bag of peat/compost. Carefully put each item under the bag then scan with your detector and see what the numbers come up as. I tried this with my Xp and it worked well, although the Xp is tone id, not visual. When I take the Garrett 1500 out I go by the tone on that too now, pretty accurate as well, when you get used to it

Never heard this.....I found a thin 14k gold chain with my AT pro that read 41.

I havent proven it either way and that's why I didnt throw it out there as fact, I thought it was a strange concept though and was interested to hear some views. I'll learn more once I get comfortable with these codes!
Thanks guys!
