Nice white gold ring, Compass, well done!

Great finds and it looks like a much lower trash to treasure ratio than usual. Congrats on the silver and gold, well done!

Great hunts, strick, congrats on the silver, gold, and WWII relics, well done!

Here ya go, Skullgolddiver, it's all covered here:

Thank You for putting out such good and informative content, Gary! I rewatch a lot of your videos to catch the nuggets of wisdom I may have missed. It has helped me immensely.

I've been experimenting with Pitch in PWM lately and there seems to be some extra information coming through that is filtered out in square tones. This is particularly useful when trying to sort aluminum trash from coins and rings as the PWM audio will give more clues to the target's shape than Square audio will sometimes.

Glad to see you getting out again, Jeff and congrats on the rings, well done!

More cool relic finds, F350! Love the buttons and spur pieces! Were you running your modded General program?

Just get the carbon fiber Simplex lower shaft and problem solved. 😎

How many of us D2 users would use the Go Terrain App if it was available in the US? It looks cool and all but that's not why I bought the D2 and I hardly ever even use my Tect O Trak app. If I'm working a large site over time, I use it, but for casual hunts, I don't. What is the price of the Go Terrain subscription? It seems like OnX Hunt that F350 mentioned would be a more cost effective alternative. Another consideration is, how much battery and DSP does Go Terrain use on the D2? I'm sure it would be very useful for some D2 users, but personally I can live without it, but also that's just from my perspective.

Dang, F350, you're on a roll! Congrats on the beautiful gold band, that's so cool and congrats on the first gold with the D2! Well done!

Thank you! I ordered one... let the experiment begin!

It seems to have stalled out in the European theater. I use the Tect O Trak app on my iPhone. It's available for Android too and has similar functions as the Go Terrain app, but it's $9 (if I remember correctly) one time charge and no subscription needed. It works pretty well for me when I remember to use it. 😏 http://historyhunters.co.uk/tectotrak-ios

That looks like a dream hunt to me and loved the video too! It makes me feel like I'm there with you when you find something cool. It's the next best thing to being there. Well done!

Yeah it was just an idea, maybe not a good idea, but an idea. 😄 Now the wheels are turning.... but I'm not going to hack my coil cover just yet. Is a 9" coil cover even available by itself yet?

Great thread! I have wondered about these same things. I'm mainly a turf hunter, and lately I've been exploring notching and how to hunt gold as well. I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but the information from experienced gold jewelry hunters that I've gleened from numerous sources matches what Jeff and Carolina have stated. Gold is all over the map on the D2 TID from 20s to 99. If you want it all, you have to dig it all. If you don't mind passing on the small stuff, you can notch up to 40. Higher weighted frequencies will give you an advantage on the small gold, but all of the programs will hit average and large sized gold jewelry. But the real enemy to gold hunters is foil and aluminum. It's all going to mimic gold responses to some extent, specially if it's coin sized or folded over. I think the real key to sorting gold ( or anything else) out is in the audio response. While TIDs can be helpful in giving a clue to a target's likelyhood in being a certain type of item by size and conductivity, the D2's audio response can be much more accurate in determining a targets size, shape, and depth. This is the hardest thing to learn and I've really been working on this, but experienced Deus and D2 user can do that and many will say, it's all about the sound. That's about all I can contribute at this point.

Thanks, abenson! I'm relatively new to relic hunting so I tend to keep what seasoned relic hunters call trash. But to me it's a connection to people and places from another time and pieces of history that would be lost in many cases to "progress", so I just can't leave things behind. 😏

Great finds again, F350 and love the naval button, That box you gave to the land owner was awesome! You got a whole lot of goodwill with that. You'll probably have that permission for life, well done again!

I don't hate my coil covers and haven't tried hunting without them yet. But I do clean a lot of dirt, sand, and other debris out of them, and in my mineralized soil, I have always wondered if that can affect coil performance. Maybe if the coil covers had an open lattice design on the bottom it would still protect the coil and allow the dirt, sand, and debris to fall out... hmmmm.... 😏

Congrats on the locket piece! It's very unusual and may be older. Did you try the acid test?

That's another slice of fried gold! 😄 The 13" doesn't look all that bad to swing either. It would probably be great on the beach.

Thank you again, Glenn. I try to learn something everytime I go out as well, since I have so much to learn. I truly appreciate the opportunity to hunt with you and the tips you have given me have helped me greatly.

Congrats on the Wheats & IHP, Calmark! I completely agree with you. I like the stock SS program for quickly cherry picking parks, but I also have modified versions for gold and relic hunting as well. I used to run wide open all the time and still do if the area requires it, but what the SS program taught me is that sometimes strategic notching, relative to conditions and the types of targets sought, can aid in unmasking and add focus to my searches. Like everthing else, it's best used in moderation and adjusted as needed.

I'm sure it's not Spanish, but hope springs eternal! 😄 That silvery glint in the sun did push the ol' heart into hyper-drive for a bit though. I made a composite image of the front and back of the mystery item and I think you're right GB. I can see what looks like a crown to me, so it was probably was a bag seal of some kind.

Thanks! I was thinking it was parts of an old mantle clock but it could have been a music box. I have to take a closer look.
