THE Random Chat Thread - AKA "The RCT" - No shirt or shoes required - Open 24 / 7

Good morning ANTIQUARIAN, ARC, RR, Rook, Bill, WD, Bart, WHADIFIND, and our whole crew where ever ya’ll maybe.


Welcome aboard William, stay off the “plank”, I just waxed it.

SO we’re handing out blue ribbons for first prize now are we, WHADIFIND? Video’s were hairalious!

Awww thank you for the mom’s day wishes. The family invaded, 5 of them came in and sat down, no hugging.
Rusty I could have used your nerf gun.

We have sun this morning, rain later, ‘it’s a fine day aboard ship!

Congrats Toecutter on your bucket list finds!

So Bart, we have old ship debri, yeah! Your lungs & legs got quite the work out.
 

Beeps....a belated happy mother's day to you.
 

MSBeeps, I am glad your peeps came and visited. We had 9 come over. Tried to stagger them, but one group was 2 hours late and rain interfered with the other. Ended up pulling in one after the other. We kept the SD rules with the older ones, but it is hard with the little ones, they have too many temptations for them here. It's hard to celebrate anything in these trying times, but I hope yours was the best it could possibly be!
 

good morning all:hello:
 

not much grass is too tall for detecting in the fields and the woods is overrun with snakes and poison ivy and oak. fixin to get to go detect a old school house/chruch that was there from maybe 1870 something- early 1900's!!!
 

That sounds awsome GB.....a site like that could yield some great stuff !! Good luck GB !!
 

Aww thanks Bart!

Good luck there GB, hope you find some awesome stuff.

WHADIFIND the only tree I see aboard ship, has no limbs and our pirate flag a’flying a’top it. I don’t scurry up trees like I use to, and the Cap’n may keelhaul us for climbing up there and sitting around.


Ya WD family gatherings are strained and strange now days, mine came by in shifts also.
Two others of mine stood out in the front yard and I sat in the front door way and we chatted.
Then the couch sitters.
2 live here and the other one was stuck home no car, but we videoed chatted. She held her phone side ways and I kept trying to adjust my I-pad Cause I thought it was me that had the problem, little stinker! I hate it when she lays the phone down and I end up looking at her ceiling while she’s talking.
 

Stay off the plank! I just waxed it!
 

Sideways question

I've been doing this hobby for nigh on to a half century now. And I pretty much already know most of the answer to my beginner's question.

When I started, with a Garrett Groundhog I learned a lot about tuning out the ground. I learned about the default and how to tune it a little hotter/cooler. Even when it was prudent to do so.

But, since I got the AT I sort of got lazy. I use the machine's auto tune technique and generally just go with it, readjusting from time to time.

My question is whether my grounds are much higher than most. The AT tends to tune to 90 to 94 in most places.

Is that what most people get, here? Is there a suggestion of whether tuning lower or higher than that might improve my depth/identifying?

Can anyone suggest or point out where I might find such information here?

Thanks!
 

Have a blessed day WD.

Sorry WHADIFIND, I don’t know the answer, but somebody should here. Hopefully they chime in with an answer.
