Ya know, this field is really becoming an education for me.

I don't think I'll be changing to being a relic hunter, per se
but this field has taught me quite a few lessons about my detecting.

I'm sure that when I'm back collecting my clad I'll be just a lil
bit smarter about what my detector is telling me. There is such
a wide variety of them when hunting a field like this. It REALLY
makes one pay closer attention!

Here's today's effort:




The washer like thing? I was CERTAIN it
was a large cent from the signal.



Thing on the right, positive it was a zincoln. It has a
square shank on it.
The round button, absolutely sure it was a pulltab.
(my first round button!! )




Only one I could read, "LONDON GILT STANDARD"



I think Blingie's considering this one. Does shine, a bit.



Fishy's enjoying the Crotal. After cleaning
it, it started jingling for the the first time
in possibly a hundred years, or more! It
still works!

The signal it gave me had me believing this was just another
deep can. Boy! Was I surprised!

Every now and then one simply needs to get out of their comfort zone!
It teaches soooooo much!

Thanks for peeking folks!

Great finds Gary! A crotal that rings when you clean it is a sweet sound!

Thanks, Dave. I know, I have one other bell that cleaned up this well. It really is a nice feeling knowing that you've brought back something thru a couple hundred years of time. But, to then have it ring out again as it did a long time ago? Fantastic!

I see that you've used the ATP. Any comments on it's iron audio sound? I know nothing works
as gospel but this does seem to help me. How does it compare to iron signals on others? Is there
a different sound or just have to rely on the tone/vdi?

I only have a few hundred hours with the ATPro and none of it was within the last year, or targeting iron. I'm not able to comment much about the iron audio except that it works well grunting at ferrous objects.

I've done all my iron hunting with the first two machines. The first machine listed was used intentionally targeting iron, the second machine listed targets iron on its own.

Not sure you want comments on other machines or not, so I'll just say that a true all-metal mode, or combined disc/threshold/AM channels are very, very helpful. VDI is nice when the machine has enough backend, or iron resolution to provide any kind of accuracy. Perhaps that is an area the ATPro can outclass the Lightweight Croissant Muncher.... I would suspect that to be the case anyway. (might have to try it myself)

There are different sounds and VDI numbers on certain types of iron depending on the capabilities of the machine. Some machines sound the same on all iron, some speak more fluently. Not all machines can ID iron objects equally and I have one that can cherry pick it to some extent.

Experience, as always, the best teacher.
