So i had a warmer day here and took my son out in the yard. I discriminated so it would only detect coins and i got a reading and found a nail...boo

I was getting plenty of readings that were hard to pinpoint then disappeared. Any advice on this?

Some nails will def show up as high tones. Certain angles and such....and especially if bent into a 90 angle.

The ghost signals are just an anomaly all MDers deal with from time to time. Perhaps a old piece of metal was once there but has disintegrated or whatever. It will hit a great signal at an angle or two and then it is almost as if the detector will balance to that object or the object just disappears. Even if going over the same angles it once hit...poof gone.

Whats worse is when the ghost signal is so good you actually get down and dig it....only to disturb the "mystery conditions" making the signal appear. Your pointer and MD will never find it again and you will be left scratching your head and muttering under your breath lol

Ok I have had my fill of this unit. I can now see that it gives me no depth after learning to do an air test with coins.

Ive watched some reviews and useage videos on the new Whites model, the Treasurepro, and I think Im ordering this one because of the functions it gives for the price and it seems to have great depth.

I watched a video from a guy who uses an AT Pro and he really like it, so my son will be excited to get his first metal detector (hand me down) lol.

You can't go wrong with an AT Pro.

I was actually referring to the at pro user liking the whites model

LOL....I had to go back and reread the thread. A $369 Treasure Pro is a ways from a month ago. You're getting the detector roulette fever.

The TP seems like a good detector.

Hope so. Dont think my wife would like me going too much higher at the moment lol.

The features really make it sound good for the price range, but if only it came in a package with a garrett digger shovel lol.

A friend from another forum has a TP. He reviewed it, but made this claim:

"The only thing I could say about the TP that some people may not like is that it's optimal sweep speed is about two seconds from side to side.You can go faster, but if you lose your threshold slow it back down, you are over a rejected item! It doesn't have a very fast recovery speed, but it does see deep when you are working it slow or a bit quicker."

Just thought it may help that you have to swing it somewhat slow.

 

[Guster]

So for comparison, what would the optimal speed to swing a Garrett AT be?

Don't know about the AT Pro. Too fast and you could miss a good deep target. I swing my LRP at about 2 seconds left to right. The comment came from a friend (Gene) who calls himself Carolina Coin Hunter on youtube. Maybe he made a video of it and has more info on it.

Keep in mind that Minelabs are the same way. Better depth and ID at a somewhat slower swing speed. Not a bad thing, just a fact of operations. It's why that the FTPs fratbros process lightning fast recovery speed is so successful, as well as Tesoro's. It beeps and IDs the millisecond it see's the target. Not a second or so after you've swung past it. You just have to give some processes time to....well....process.

I was looking at the tesoros too that some people love. Im just not partial to the 1960s robot looking unit.
