Dances With Doves

I think they just buried a  bunch of treasure in Michigan.This is a different guy who is a just retired jewelry man. 

In  2006 me and my  friend after a bulldozer cleared a path in the woods in a park that we happen to   stumbled on piles of silver coins  that were all over the place and even in the pond next to the path he created.We found over 1200 that were mostly mercs and    rosies with no key dates. We found some more the years   after .We picked them up like popcorn on the surface.i think it was in the best finds magazine in 2007 titled silver in the   rough by  Curt  Roe.I hope you all can find at least one   pile of coins like this in your detecting adventures. 

 Great find .I would say 10 grams=a   honker and 15 grams= a  giant honker like those giant  Canadian geese. You      came very close to that  and those are rare.Did you ever get a ring over 15 grams and do you ever see bull  sharks in the bay since low  salinity does not bother them or  murky water.

If any of you like history google the expedition of Denonviile or   Seneca indians and Jesuits.It should lead to  information about a event in  this land  that most never   heard of.

I usually test the Gmx on the lo setting for the tiny targets since it hits better.I just wanted to see how it would do on mid   setting  for rings.I might  bury it at 9 inches and compare settings since at this depth it might matter  more.I wonder what setting     steve uses in  his ground since he  uses a low setting    on his gold bug 2 in hot ground if that is a sat setting on that machine.

I tried  the infinium with 8 " mono and in all  directions it gave me a nice and tight  high-low hit that  says dig me.This is the signal  infinium  hunters like to hear.

I tried the Nox on this  target in pk1 first with sens. at 20 and it gave me a mixed  signal in multi freq. with normal swing.If a  lifted the coil a bit and  swang  it tightly back and forth the signal gave me a better signal with  pretty  good id. My Coil control was important   here.In pk 2  multi freq. and sens.  at 20 the signal was much  better with solid id plus a little room to spare.In gold 2 mode multi freq.  mode with sens. at 20 it pounded this target with  great  id with a few inches to spare.In 20 and 40 kz at 24 sens both hit it very    hard with up average id.

I buried the left  Jesuit ring at about 7" and  Trying the GMX  first with the 6" coil with 10 sens. boost  2  and SAT in mid  setting this  machine hit it very good with at least a couple inches to spare in all angles.It gave wrap around numbers of very low or  very hi  numbers.I would did this nice zip signal.

The iron grunt on the ATGold will  drive you nuts in nails at its volume level after a while.

What is the score so far on gold.Tarsacci-2       AQ-0?

If you go water hunting and you find a stone with a  hole in it keep it since it is probably an Indian   fishing  weight they used.

Yes it is that big.The 6" coil on the Gmx does better then the Infinium with 8'' coil on that deep target.My   buddy found one about the same in the dry sand.I found a 100 gram 10k rapper medallion before too. IT is In the 2006 Garrett catalog.

 Those are great finds  Rick. My friend took a other guy to the spot and he found a French ax from that era too.In 1687  the  French made war on the Seneca Indians and burnt  the village the  rings were found in .The     Rochester museum has many finds since they  sifted a nearby area  .They  have a silver  cup the Jesuits used and many rings.There  are other villages  where those rings were found too. 

That band looks solid in how it was  made.Just a average day for you with 2 gold.My  friend  Tony would have  stroke if he found 2 gold in a day in the  water.He has not seen yellow in the  scoop since 8/2015. He does not go in the water to often.You would like silver more if it came out like it does in nice black dirt then in the brine.Do you  ever freshwater hunt?

If you are hurt and can't dig like a dog the nox is the machine you want.Dig solid signals and you should do  good.

I am not good at computers but if you want to see story it was in friendly metal detectors-stories and  finds 5/2/2016 and    one a couple days later by my friend  Ramer( his name on friendly)If you could link it I   would  be grateful  .  It was the first time we hit that spot(private). 

I have found 7,and  a friend found 1 1/2. They    are about 2 grams .To get these  targets location is everything.6 hit like a nickel and the other under a nickel. hit.

I tried the infinium today on this target with the dirt  much drier and more compact and I get nothing. 

I tried the infinium with 8 " mono and it hit  it good in all directions but in each direction the center    of the target was different .That is  strange.

With all you hear on the internet I am surprised someone didn't say AL  Gore.

It will probably be a big seller because of their  marketing and because it's MF. I  wonder how much Minelab is in this machine with Garrett putting some of their tech. in it too.

I  tried the Nox with the 11" coil  in Pk1  first and it hit it very good with not much room to   spare to get good id which was the proper12-13 numbers. It Hit good in both directions.I then tried pk2 and it was a stronger hit with more  room to spare.I used sens. 20 in both  modes.I then put gold 2 mode multi mode  at 20 sens and it  pounded the target with    steady id of  mostly 13 which is proper.In 20 kz at 24 sens. it hit hard with up average id in lower 20's.In 40 kz.at 24 sens it hit very hard with up  average id around the 17 mark.  This machine on  this target and that coil does  great to superb on  this target.

Yeah concentric on a VLF might be your best bet for that test.BUT its still not going to do what the Tarsacci can do..

There's alot of great Detectors on the market for sure..

BUT the Tarsacci doing things that till now were just not doable.Things have really moved forward.

Good test!

True .The change was  not that  much.

I grabbed my 8.5 gram,15/16 of an inch long ,6mm wide platinum ring I found and buried it on edge where the top of the edge is about 6'' . I grabbed the Gmx with the   6inch concentric coil and facing the edge it gave me a nice zip with room to spare,When I went with the edge the signal was about the same.The   ID was in the upper 90's or near  zero which seems like wrap around numbers.If you are brave and take your Gmx in the water I would dig this signal in better jewelry swim spots with not to much junk(nice  roped areas) I used mid SAT setting on test.ID is around nickel in ground air test.Not bad for a tough target  with a small coil.

I see they gave green   mountain metal  detector one. His name is  Brad.I think you might enjoy some of his videos  Steve since most of it  is in the mountains of Vermont at old places.He even does his own music.He finds  Spanish gold at one.Check that one out at least.His are different.
