Hit the Jackpot TODAY Dec11-'24 a Honey Hole GTA Playground _ my 1st GOLD ring using a detector!

[metalman2024]

Found a gold ring, one silver cross, one copper penny, green from corrosion, looks old can't read the date, one modern dime again can't read the full date but in the 2000's, one washer, lone steel block of sorts, and lots of pop-can trash.

Actually the clump of grass you see in the photo wouldn't let go of the gold ring took a minute or two to free it, so I kept it, as they must've been friends for quite some time.

Two hours of work to find all that with a bud, using a White's and a Nokta. Pinpointer being a must, I've learned the hard way, the pulse induction one I have reacts strangely sometimes and misfires a lot, maybe some adverse reaction to the VLF detectors I'm using. Anyone have an idea why? I've actually seen one metal detecting club prohibiting the pulse induction machines, but why exactly, I don't fully understand. Cheers.

Nice catch on the gold ring.

It would be like detecting beside an electric fence for interference.

I'm still trying to decypher the Legend though

Congrats on the gold and silver!

I think the key to the Legend is to not try and overthink it.
Learn what the different setting do, then tweak them sparingly and even switch back and forth on a target to see what difference it makes.
Trust the tones, not the numbers, and don't run it too hot (the Legend runs best at 15-25 sensitivity, depending on soil and trash).

it's quite difficult I'm finding, but here's what I learned from experience, when you see the two bars left and right showing up, the ones for ferrous and non-ferrous targets simultaneously flashing and the target reading is 40 to 45, you're on to silver or gold
