pelanj. What do you think of using the 10.5" coil? Is it hard to sweep in the water? Have you ever wanted the 8" coil instead?

I was just about ready to call a Tesoro dealer to buy a new Tiger Shark. Then I found out about the AT Pro from Garrett. I want a detector for hunting fresh water. I chose a T.S. because I read that it could pick up an earring back. So I figured that makes this a micro jewery detector also. How ever I thought a high freq. of around 71 was what a micro jewery unIt should have. Nasa Tom probaly kno

Thanks for the input. I was thinking a bar of gold about the size of a bar of soap would be what I'd try to for.....but I dont want to mess with dangerous acids.... so Hobo's idea on gold coins may be the way to go.

Does anyone know if a lot of gold rings with all different karats amount can be put in a melting pot, and when melted... scrape off what floats to the top..... pour whats left into a mold.....would that bar of gold be pure... if it is how would the pureness be measured. This is by goal... to make my own bar of GOLD from the rings I find.
Happy hunting.

If a test garden was set up like NASA Tom's... with a dime at a depth that your detector could barely pickup......Sooner or later due to the sink rate of the dime it would be out of
reach of your detector. I would probably think my detector was getting weak and start looking for a new one. Of course in that many years for the dime to sink out of reach...
...there will be a new super

Hi earthmansurfur.
Is it true that only detectors with less than 10kHz gets more depth or just Tesoro units that do not get the depth?

Thank you for all the time spent making these videos. I can see that if a newbie saw these videos their learning curve in this hobbie could be shortened by at least 10 years as to learning this by themself.
I have never hunted the ocean beach before but I know I could find a trough if it existed because of what I have learned from you.
I have been inland hunting for 28 years and now know
