GT & Wot strike 1st 2007 gold today - ice tooo :)

Low tide tim and I hit the lane around 9amish

Figured the professor would be at the barber house or digging dirt in Suffolk so I decided to hit his territory- the southern zone

Ran into norm and rob rocer and norm was holding his 1st gold loot of 2007, I got a fix on where he found it and sure enough I find my 1st gold ticket with real ice for 2007 – thanks norm old buddy old pal old friend

Surf lane land line tells us that Bia has a nice gold strike in the northern zone just past the border line.

U will see a pic of this fine ticket as well, we did not see them in the lane nor did we see Syfta or his wife Chris.

Besides norm and rob we see a new fellow from Portsmouth up in the dry / damp mix are. Short chat-----------------Darryl.

Here is the spin today

Good luck to everyone

where do u live, i thought u lived in south florida
 

Re: GT & Wot strike 1st 2007 gold today - ice tooo :)

Max, I am now living in Michigan with son. I won't be able to hit the coast this year and that is why I enjoy your pictures so much. I am home sick for the surf. I can always drive to K-Mart parking lot to listen to seagulls again. I used to travel up an down the coast and did a little hunting near Galviston, TX. too.

Take Care,
Sandman
 

Re: GT & Wot strike 1st 2007 gold today - ice too :)

Max , I have a question for you, I am still learning my GT and was wondering where you set your threshold at, is it were you can here a slight hum or do you adjust it like a squelch on a CB and adjust it were the hum just goes silent? if you wouldn't mind sharing could you tell me the standard setting on all buttons and switches you use when working a beach?
 

Re: GT & Wot strike 1st 2007 gold today - ice tooo :)

I don't know where Max sets his GT, but I set my threshold at where I can just hear it. This way a signal may cause it to raise in volume or null out or go silent. If I set mine just below, I can't tell when it nulls out and a deep signal might not have enough "umph" to raise it for me to hear over the sounds around me.

Sorry Max, I knew he'd want to know soon.

Good Luck,
Sandman
 

Re: GT & Wot strike 1st 2007 gold today - ice too :)

thanks sand man, I never was sure about that threshold setting, that does make a lot of sense after reading a lot of post and you saying that... Thanks again!!! now if I could get max to tell me his GT set-up then I might get a little closer to maybe finding some gold instead of just coins and pull tabs, not really ;) , I would like to see what he uses to see how for off I am, I am still learning......
 

Re: GT & Wot strike 1st 2007 gold today - ice tooo :)

TwT

i might set mine a little higher than SandMan - i work around the waves and wind and i like to be able to hear it pretty good

Re: GT & Wot strike 1st 2007 gold today - ice tooo :)

max on your GT, would you mind me asking what your other settings are??? 9TURN KNOBS) like disc-notch-sens are set at plus the (SWITCHES) like track fix or pinpoint? all metal disc on-off, iron mask? threshold or silent search?band 1 or band 2 noise cancel?"?????
 

Re: GT & Wot strike 1st 2007 gold today - ice tooo :)

twt

i work only the damp sand and water

decrimination and notch..............z e r o

iron mask - on............................but i really think i like if off better

band 2

sensitivity................between noon and 1.............once in a while i can get by with 11, but with the Wot, i find 1 works much better

never use pin point..............remember my GT is inside sealed up box, so i have to set it up before and seldon change

some people hunt in pin point all the time and do ok....................i do not see it

but that is just me
