Hi All,
Well first day with Amanda. Has been designated Amanda as Miners Den left me a message to text yesterday which read " Amanda Called ? Its Arrived" I realized straight away it was Manticore. Its arrived.
Anyway, made me giggle 🙂
Was Quick and easy to set up, especially liked the camlocks on the extendible shaft. Would really like that set up on my 6000.
I was going to just do a short charge and go for a quickie but thought better of it and let her charge all night even though it was killing me.
I have only watched a couple of videos and just relied on the quick start pamphlet in the box. I have only used gold detectors before never one specifically for treasure etc. So getting to the beach and just using the quick start was interesting. The headsets connected a breeze first time so that was a blessing. I quiet like them very similar to the 6000. Im sure they wont suit all and on extremely windy days would require something over the top of them, i wear a legionaries hat which does the trick.
So how did the first day go for someone who has never used anything apart from gold detectors. (5000, 6000, 2300 and 1000) As i only had the quick start that is all i basically did Turn on, changed to beach, did a noise cancel and went detecting.
I used audible cues and when i heard something slowed down and had a look at the 2D, it was extremely easy to work out coins etc. going by the center high/low conductivity scale.
Australian 2 Dollar Coin.
Only showed one pip on the depth scale but was around 6" or 150mm Deep.
9 Carat Gold Ear ring. With stone inclusions.
Only showed one pip on depth and was only 3" or 75mm deep.
Australian 5 cent piece.
Was about 9" 200mm deep.
Just some photos of what i ended up with for the day.
$2.35 in cash.
One 9 carat gold ear ring with white stone inclusions. Another ear ring that may be gold but looks custom made with stainless ear ring post soldered to gold ?. A few bits and pieces and very little rubbish which i found interesting.
So i found gold on the first day so what can i say but over the moon. Now i have a manual to read i can try a few different things but honestly to take a machine out of the box switch it on and find things straight up. Dont fix things until they are broken 🙂 .
