Pretty sure there is another there, just the rain beat to retrieve it. Same as the first one, target numbers were 11:43, hmmmm it's gotta be another one, just gotta get the pinpointing sussed out better.

I remember someone ( maybe not this site US i think) and had all the numbers of common readings he found with it . Insteringly enough was the readout s for a pink dildo he found .guess he was also helping you avoid stuff as well as find it
You are not mucking around Heath, a bloody Florin on the maiden voyage
You need to get that baby down to you tobacco pipe tamper beach and work out where those sovereigns are burried.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you find at depth over the next couple of weeks.

If I dug one of them up I think it would even shock me.......

You bet mate, I will get down there soon, pretty keen to try it on different scenarios and see how it performs. The next few days is just basic stuff and getting to know the functions. Never know what might pop up.
Got out with the Etrac for 5 hours today and did pretty well, still working over ground already covered by the Aldi and got 2 Pennies, a Sixpence, 2 sterling silver rings, $21.40 in moderns and about 25x 1c and 2c bb's. Quite a few of the moderns were deeper dirtier looking coins which I don't think the aldi had any chance of finding really.
Starting to get a much better feel for the detector now, it seriously rocks!

Etrac is on tack
Sure is Rocket, bloody great to use, has slowed me down a bit compared to the aldi but revealing everything it missed, which is great. Ran it in Conductive Audio today and it seemed more intuitive to me in a junk infested area. Silvers all sound the same but sound the same as 1 and 2c coins and give about the same Fe/Co readings........ hence the reason I got so many of them.
Just using the standard Minelab coin pattern so far as it rejects all the highly ferrous junk in the ground. Modern pulltabs give a bit of a similar Fe/Co to a gold ring.

It seems it doesn't matter which detector you swing, you still clean up. Nice.

Looking dangerous on that Etrac Heatho, some really good finds starting to filter through, especially on previously worked ground. At least you are getting some first hand experience should you want to upgrade or compliment the Aldi with an FBS detector in the future.

Heatho is just posting these finds as proof he's paying rent on the Machine nice work buddy
nice work buddy
I already want to upgrade GP, these FBS units are awesome. Getting a better feel for the subtle signal volume differences too in regard to depth and size of targets. The 2 user programs I created are working great.

He'd been offering to lend it to me for ages, I don't like borrowing others expensive gear but he insisted.
Also he's cutting a couple of Sapphs for me too. His blood is worth bottleing.

Got a nice silver coin with your name on it mate.

Aldi is good for shallow surface finds mate but not very good if anything is deeper than 10-15cm, it has it's advantage on some things like fast target recovery so you can cover plenty of ground cleaning up recent drops, it's a great cheap introductory unit but it does miss alot of good stuff as we are seeing from the last 2 days finds as I worked this ground hard with the aldi. The Etrac has brought this spot back to life and shows how much good stuff is still there.
Might hit the same spot again today for a couple of hours.
