That’s not a fatty but an obese ring, just look at that weight. Congrats on another amazing gold OBN.

What really gets me is how deep this stuff is...and for some reason it loves nickels

Great ring... you are amazing with the finds Joe! 👍🏻

Given the design goal of the machine, with a distinct focus on the gold ring range, it’s possible that a nickel is an almost perfect target for the AQ. A nickel does sit pretty near the middle of the desirable gold ring range. I say “almost perfect” because lacking a hole in the middle takes it down from the pinnacle of perfection as a target. However, I’d surmise the pulses per second (pps) and everything else are optimized for something far closer to a nickel than a silver quarter (for example). I have not tested it, but it may hit a nickel just as deep or even deeper than a quarter. This machine is not optimized at all for silver. And I’m good with that.

Well done on  that great honker.You go big and  I go low.  I just came back  from hunting   near clay with a lot of iron and snuck out a small 1.1 gram white gold ring with tiny diamond which gave me a 3 tid on the  Nox in  PK.1. At least it was 14K.I am on a small gold streak.

Congrats Joe!!

   You have got to be the leader of the pack with AQ gold finds so far!!

   Be Safe!! And keep the tally running!!💍👍👍

Thanks Joe D! Having it Mid May really gave me the jump on learning how it operated. I think the time I spent testing was really was the key. It for sure has found a home, with the excalibur.

Another awesome score Joe! Congratulations!

Most everything has been said.  WTG Joe!

You just keep adding them up.  You know the greats didn't get them all but I don't think you are going to leave many scraps now.  Success begets success and now you have a tool that will get those heavy sinkers.

What a coincidence, Joe--I did a hunt that was pretty much the same--big gold and a silver dime.  (Give or take 16 grams...).  Quite proud of this one actually in that it was a hairpin sized signal--("ya learn kid, but'cha learn slow...)."  That is such an awesome find--some real weight.  Thanks for the settings too.  Jumping between the modes seems to help with the pins ID, also what I'm learning is that like all of Eric's machines the "sides" are critical information--where you have that nice "whoop" upswing / downswing--good sign.   Had the CS6PI out after (2 hours of AQ --waa--no night before top up), and this machine has very similar audio--maybe a bit better in that clean edges always mean no steel.  The potential of the AQ is certainly there, and a few things that Jim mentioned to me about the low uSC ranges "vibrating or "exciting" the ground deeper made the faint range easier to understand, target acquire and respond to.   I've had to really focus on my coil control and pulse basics with this detector and would (objectively) recommend that anyone new to pulse hunting read my book "Pulsepower" to get a handle on some of these (...always be closing...).  With the Cuda, keeping the threshold (tuner) low makes  a huge difference in how pins and caps sound--with even a tiny decrease changing the information a lot.  This worked really well today with the AQ-kept me off these and on just the small foils and solid bits.  Loose the pins and caps and this detector looks better every day.  Good Luck, Congrats, clive
