Popular Post abenson Posted December 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2020 Cold day but I wanted to try out Docs Gold Screamer setup on my GPX that I got for Christmas. Paired it up with the Garrett z-lynk system and boy is it nice to be wireless. Anyway in a 3 hour hunt I found a 10k 8 gram ring, some brass buckle parts and some older coins. They're hard to see so what's pictured is a wheat penny, merc dime, Jefferson nickel, 3 buffalo nickels and a V nickel. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Well, the ring looks nice but I see a crack. Did that affect the eddy current and make it ID on the low side? Those coins look pretty rough (as you mentioned). Have they been stewing in water -- lake, creek, etc.? Excellent results for any time of year, and particularly during winter weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea coins are pretty bad, they were found at a saltwater beach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to completely break the connection with a true air gap to significantly change the eddy current path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
