Popular Post Joe Beechnut OBN Posted September 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2020 WInds and tides have been bad the last week along with other projects keeping me busy. So to mix the project side of it I took CDV's battery out for a test spin Weds. Not a lot of targets but scored the 10k Class ring early. As soon as I walked out I got a buffalo, small medallion then the gold ring. The AQ seems to dislike silver even in All metal mod...but loves nickels..both medallions are brass. Gold #22 for the AQ..depth on the 8.4 10k I could have sworn 2 feet but measured around 16 inch's.. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The AQ is not a silver magnet. To the best of my recollection, a nickel air tested better than a silver dollar on the AQ I sold OBN. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Nice going Joe! It sure cleaned up nicely too. Looks like the AQ is waking up the deep ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Tejon and HHPulse I've used tested better on a nickle than a quarter and both were very good at finding gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have a gold magnet than a silver magnet for my hunting situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Seems to be a “thing” for gold machines. I just bought a somewhat ancient Tesoro Demon II nugget detector (20 kHz) - same thing - better on a nickel than a quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdv Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 WTG, another nice old class ring. To bad the silver gets eaten up so bad, you'd have a heck of a collection of silver coins. Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Love that class ring! The older one's look so much nicer than the modern one's!! The King Tides have been keeping the water way up, here in Florida! Plus with the big waves and winds, alot of sand removal, and beach leveling has happened! No cut's though! So finds have been sparse! Once everything calms down for a week or so, we should get some good sorting, and maybe some good finds!👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Amazed every time I go out how deep it is...It really can Awaken spots that no other machine can. 3 hours ago, okara gold said: Nice going Joe! It sure cleaned up nicely too.

And Yes, These are not signals that say I am here.............Very faint "Halo's" which others have walked right past. 3 hours ago, tvr said: Excellent!

Looks a little better this weekend from what I see, not sure about the winds but maybe another outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
