Terry Soloman Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hi Matt! Let's just say "Results may vary." ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Yup, what Terry said. If two people listen to 100 targets, they will differ as to how much stuff they dig as being “good targets” and “bad targets”. In other words, what one person may decide is a trash target may be good enough sounding to dig to the other person. We vary in how aggressively we reject trash, which goes hand in hand with potentially missing good items. Then add the fact that the local trash mix varies tremendously and how much it interferes with your detecting depends on the targets you hunt and how much local trash reads the same. This leads to situations where one person says “this works for me” and another says “it does not work for me”. It’s not a matter of making things up or anything, and no reason for anyone to take offense or argue. So whether it worked for Sinclair or not I will just say thanks staffydog33 for sharing your advice. Even if it does not help Sinclair it may help someone else, and helping others is a large reason for this forums existence. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the way it is Found my first dime and ~17€ today : Counting up the clad: ~182€ / 214$ by now No high hopes for the season, but we'll see.

Sinclair Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I just found that resizeable ring from my last hunt in my car, which I thought is a junker.. Turned out, it's 925 silver or at least silver plated? oh well.. always double check those junkers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Are you still only "kind of" in on the Equinox? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 I‘m in, but it‘s kind of a log book .. If you have a suggestion for an appropriate thread-title, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Just poking a bit of fun. The title came across very tentative and non-committal (I guess I'm in... etc) initially. Yet your log book posts would repeatedly show these killer finds (despite the bottle caps and trash, which is just an occupational hazard of beach detecting regardless of which detector you use) so I just thought the title became more ironic as time marched on and your finds accumulated and the posts bumped the thread up the page. You are doing great. Keep on killing it and enjoying your Equinox...I guess. Lol. Signed, Jealous Chase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close to an expert on jewelry, so my comment might be totally bogus. I can't imagine any standards where '925' can be used for either solid or plated. I'm voting for solid sterling. Then again, I don't know what the 'PC' means, unless it's a politically correct ring size. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 That pc got me stumble, too. It is so thin, it doesn‘t really matter anyway Did a short hunt today at my nearest beach.. ~12€ and finally a wedding band in the scoop: Figured it‘s just a pretty much worthless tungsten ring, nice find though 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
