AT Pro & gold

[flakefinder]

I am finding sliver rings and sliver coin but have only found one gold ring and was digging a sliver quarter when I found it. I have tested the AT Pro on gold rings and get a jumping signal from 33 to 45 it's real crackie type of signal, any help would be appreciated

On my At Pro, gold is a consistent number and tone. Are you in Standard or Pro mode? Sometimes the number will vary 1-2 numbers, but not a big jump like you are seeing. Be sure the unit is ground balanced.

In the Pro Mode and I ground balance a lot during a hunt, I just got a new AT pro I am going to compare and if there is something wrong with the old one I will send it in to get fixed , Thanks for the info , Good hunting.

This one, my first gold ring with the AT Pro read in the 70 range with a constant signal in pro audio.

Can you tell me what Karat it is ? I don't know if that matters , but trying to get the gold stuff figured out, Thanks.

The ring is a 10k and it should not matter. Rings can often be tricky to find as the detector will not tell you "hey its a ring". I dig a lot of trash with my AT Pro right now as I am still learning it. I have several Tesoso machines so I have a couple of pretty good headphones (Grey Ghost and Killer B's) so I put the Garrett headphone adapter on my AT Pro so I could use headphones other than the Garrett ones that come with the AT Pro. I have problems hearing out of one ear so the other headphones to me sound much cleaner and the slight crackle of a junk target as well as the tones on the AT Pro are easier for me to hear. I sometimes get lazy and rely on the TID screen when I should actually listen for a consistent smooth sound as any TID machine can be fooled.
