Gold E. Locks!

[Subterranean]

Pretty much sums up the day. The marked 10k gold ring with ten diamonds (all test genuine) rang up a solid 51 VDI on my ATMax at 2” down in a public school lawn/soccer field. I thought I was going to dig a nickel. Pickings were slim but still fun to dig! Today brought rings #5 and #6 for the month of June so far. Cheers, and Happy Hunting to all of my TNet friends.

Always nice to have those "nickel" hits on the AT remind that they are also ring signals.

I'm thinking about going to an AT-Max. But, by the time I move off the fence, they'll probably have a new model out! LOL

Say Sub? I'm wondering if the same trick works on the AT-Max as it does on the Pro?

I noticed that once you've checked the signal and see it at 51 solid, (nickel), then you switch over to pinpoint mode...the signal will get a lil bit louder. If it doesn't, pulltab, canslaw, etc.

How do you like Medusa over Julio?

In any case, great walk!

Whadi,

Forgive me, but I have not heard about the "switch to pinpoint" trick for helping determine if a signal is a nickel (or jewelry) or trash. But, I will try it for sure! The Pro and Max are pretty much the same in regards to features. I like the threshold function on the Max, but both are just as good for the things that you and I look for. I have been hunting with the lighter, aftermarket NEL snake coil. Really fast and easier on my deteriorating joints, LOL. Thanks for the kind words. Sub

I've found the technique useful. Also noticed on the Pro that solid, repeating 51's are usually nickels. The pinpoint thing isn't a "gospel" technique, of course. But try it on a few nickels and you'll see.

Stay safe.

That is a great looking ring Sub.

I have dug several little gold rings that hit solid 51. I wouldn't waste time with the pinpoit thing. Just dig it and move on to the next target.

Grats on the glitter!

Learning something about ones machine is *never* a waste of time. Use what you want and just throw the rest away.
