A Nice Honker (and More Bs Luck)
Kaolin washer replied to strick's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Ohh man thats a nice one -
I use a humble ORX and an x-35 9" coil and hunt in one frequency at a time and this year i have found 6 gold rings, and one nice gold pendant, and numerous silver items, Hear is the deal if you hunt an old house site or farm field, you will get an advantige with the deus 2, but if you use a run of the mill machine you will not come home empty

Silver Bracelet & Silver Chain, Pendant
Kaolin washer replied to Kaolin washer's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
No EMI in this spot but i like that 70 gain ,it still gets deep but less sensitive to trash foils -
found two sterling items today, and 9 quarters and some nickles. The bracelet is boldly marked sterling , good weight to both of them . not plated, so i was looking for gold rings, but not disappointed with the silver. my settings on the orx where coin deep , 75 gain, 8.4khz, 2.5 sweep speed, and 6.5 disc mostly open low trash spot I chose the low frequincy becase it can see thru the junk foils and give me the higher numbers thru the small foils. a gold ring is under the junk foil , the 17,2 will not do that , some of the nickles came in the 71 ,69 VDI range but ya this is how it is . And i dug alot of trash .

Gold Cladda Ring Today
Kaolin washer replied to Kaolin washer's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
It says inside under the heart and crown IRELAND , and another mark inside the thin band but i cant read it -
After my Job interview went south, I went metal detecting , and I have another offer to rake some leaves for extra cash , so I prayed that if i should do that leaf raking that God would give me a sighn and let me find a gold ring today, and I did. had to XP ORX set up in coin deep , 70 gain 6 disc and 2.5 sweep speed at 17.2khz and at the 1st spot i was hunting , I got the thinking I should take a break and then go to another spot I have been to many time but never found any rings . I found a big chunk of iron and after it was out i got a quarter Hit , other wise someone had dug the cladd out pretty good , I was finding lots of tabs and foil , thats a good sign a ring could in theory be in the ground , and I got a signal 62 on the meter and expecting a tab, up comes a nice Gold cladda ring , marked Ireland inside. and another mark i cant read its a bit worn , but its pretty clear its not bling or plated its small but still weighing in at 2.4 grams. In the last picture you can see the big iron bolt that i dug out and after that an old crusty quarter was heard , yes it was masked ,someone else had stripped all the clad so i was luckey to get that quarter , but it was clearly masked

50% More Power To The Manticore Coil?
Kaolin washer replied to Erik Oostra's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Hopefully they fixed the leaking problems, it may be a good water detector , and that 50% more power to the coil under water would not be afected by EMI so I bet its a deep water machine, but using a fast recovery under water when you cant swing the thing fast under water is a problem I would use a slower sweep speed if using it in water -
I showed starting out at 7 disc how a in ground live target was not heard until i put the disc back and i had not gone over this using this setting and was getting no new targets untill i did 3 things . 1, up the frequincy from 8.4 to 17.2 , No2, increase the reactivity past 2 . and No,3 dile back the disc from 7 to 5.5 and this spot came alive again.

A round shaft creates turbulence and drag when swinging thru water , this tires out the detectorist, but the answer swims buy him in the water , coils with openings and 90 degree angles create more turbulence under water this creates more resistance . so shy not make the shaft like a sharks tail feathering to a sharp point so you can swing the shaft and coil thru the water with ease from left to right , and the coil should be like a stingray , no openings but feathered out on the edge, hope you can understand my crude drawing , it would help that shaft and coil just glide thru the water

The Rings Have Eluded Me Again
Kaolin washer replied to Kaolin washer's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
and by the way I am using the XP ORX in the FINEGOLD program but with my settings of 17.2 khz, 80 gain, 2.5 recovery speed, 2 IAR, and i can tell even when i have a bread tie under the coil , or a bottle cap I like to dig alot of Iron on purpose, to clean things up and maybe see if somthing is masked, only when i run out of energy do i get pickey and just dig the 95- or 92 and so on -
Out looking for Gold rings again today, mostly trash exept for a few coins, but they add up fast I almost have 100.00 again in coins, and the rest is trash .Looking for Gold rings is like investing in the stock market, you just have to keep at it and eventually it will pay off, if you sell because the market goes down , you will not make money , and if i quit because i only find junk 6 days in a row you have to keep at it cuz the big ring is out in that field just waiting to be found , maybe under a bottle cap , or amongst the pull tabs and Can slaw and foils , mostly disappointment, but good exercise.

what KHz, thats great i find a lot of detectorists leave the nickles
-
Tex, yes to limit depth and get better modulation, now in real trashy spots i lower the gain to 64 but like at 70 the quarters 8" deep give a nice wisper
-
like i say i wanted to get the deus 2 but am way to broke, so that forced me to use the ORX . but i am not disapointed, I can only say the more time i give this ORX the more i like it , in fact i want to buy another one its just a great machine

Today on the way to the bank, I had to make a deposit because my pin pointer broke, so I need a new one so I stopped to look for Gold and instead found two silvers, the merc suprized me because i was not looking for silver , I had dug 17 dimes and one was silver and also found a nice sterling ring with what looks like a black onyx stone. I was hunting with my ORX in coin deep ,17.2 khz, 2 sweep speed, 7 disc, and 70 gain also found a 1937 dime
