2 months ago, I'd never swung a detector. By reading the forums, reading 2 Equinox books and detecting every chance I get, I've been on a steep learning curve! I'm feeling proficient and very comfortable with all the settings and their impact. I've been hunting the local parks and schools...

Bucknut, Thanks for the great info, I started digging more non-traditional signals (not just coins) and found a BUNCH of pull tabs. (Patience Grasshopper!) I found this last night, rang 8-9 in Field 1 in the middle of a park, down about 6-7". 30 years wasn't kind to the plating, but it's one...

I get a bit OCD when I start a new hobby and devour all kinds of technical information. I read the discussion about the comparison between the different coil types and there was a page from a book by Andy Sabisch posted. So I'm here asking for some links or books etc that will help me quench...

Hi all, I travel a lot and have often thought having a detector would be handy. I'm currently on a 6000 mile 'work-cation' (working during the day online) and visiting friends. My GF has a Garrett AT??? that she uses in Wyoming every year during vacation. I've been invited to look join...
