The Seeker Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 That’s not a fatty but an obese ring, just look at that weight. Congrats on another amazing gold OBN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nickel does sit pretty near the middle of the desirable gold ring range. I say “almost perfect” because lacking a hole in the middle takes it down from the pinnacle of perfection as a target. However, I’d surmise the pulses per second (pps) and everything else are optimized for something far closer to a nickel than a silver quarter (for example). I have not tested it, but it may hit a nickel just as deep or even deeper than a quarter. This machine is not optimized at all for silver. And I’m good with that.

Dances With Doves Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Well done on that great honker.You go big and I go low. I just came back from hunting near clay with a lot of iron and snuck out a small 1.1 gram white gold ring with tiny diamond which gave me a 3 tid on the Nox in PK.1. At least it was 14K.I am on a small gold streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jim!....I agree buddy, I really think your going to love it... 14 hours ago, Elbert said: Congrats on the ring. It's a beauty. I like those silvers to. El Thanks Buddy! Hope all is well and you see that AQ soon! Weird is I normally dig silver quarters But Nada on them this round. 14 hours ago, kac said: That's one heavy ring. Poor bugger probably drowned wearing it 😮 Congrats! LOL, That's funny! It's a smaller size ring but it does have some meat to it. ..........And Thank You! 12 hours ago, Joe D. said: Congrats Joe!! You have got to be the leader of the pack with AQ gold finds so far!! Be Safe!! And keep the tally running!!💍👍👍 Thanks Joe D! Having it Mid May really gave me the jump on learning how it operated. I think the time I spent testing was really was the key. It for sure has found a home, with the excalibur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Most everything has been said. WTG Joe! You just keep adding them up. You know the greats didn't get them all but I don't think you are going to leave many scraps now. Success begets success and now you have a tool that will get those heavy sinkers.

cjc Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 What a coincidence, Joe--I did a hunt that was pretty much the same--big gold and a silver dime. (Give or take 16 grams...). Quite proud of this one actually in that it was a hairpin sized signal--("ya learn kid, but'cha learn slow...)." That is such an awesome find--some real weight. Thanks for the settings too. Jumping between the modes seems to help with the pins ID, also what I'm learning is that like all of Eric's machines the "sides" are critical information--where you have that nice "whoop" upswing / downswing--good sign. Had the CS6PI out after (2 hours of AQ --waa--no night before top up), and this machine has very similar audio--maybe a bit better in that clean edges always mean no steel. The potential of the AQ is certainly there, and a few things that Jim mentioned to me about the low uSC ranges "vibrating or "exciting" the ground deeper made the faint range easier to understand, target acquire and respond to. I've had to really focus on my coil control and pulse basics with this detector and would (objectively) recommend that anyone new to pulse hunting read my book "Pulsepower" to get a handle on some of these (...always be closing...). With the Cuda, keeping the threshold (tuner) low makes a huge difference in how pins and caps sound--with even a tiny decrease changing the information a lot. This worked really well today with the AQ-kept me off these and on just the small foils and solid bits. Loose the pins and caps and this detector looks better every day. Good Luck, Congrats, clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
