G'day everyone, my name is Dave and I live in the Blue Mountains, I got a detector for Christmas and found a lot of bottle tops but I did manage to find a little gold ring and some coins 1 and 2 dollar coins which got me started. ;D So I decided to have a look on you tube and saw a guy with a Garrett AT Pro that was walking around swinging the machine and he would say that's trash ah that sounds like a good target and dig it up, and it was a coin. So I thought that looks like a good machine and bought one. I seem to be finding more bottle tops now than ever. Can anyone please suggest settings or what to run the machine in so I can tell what's junk and what's good? Thanks.. I suppose I should ask does anyone on here have a Garrett machine?

Gday mate, i guess you gotta ask ya self primarily what you want............ coins n relics or shiny yella rocks im not the gut to knock any type of machine as im blessed to have the one ive got an SD2100d ( minelab ) suited for gold but will scream at the top of its lungs when it hits bottle tops and coins from what i know your machine has a read out and im sure you can get the numbers v's what the target should be. then you get into VLF and PI machines................. now i get to be a newbie again here but from what im told a VLF will find gold, usually specimens is its forte and a PI will be dedicated to gold, minelab machines generally built here to cope with our soils. but at the end of the day you get what you can afford and go with what appeals to you, but you do need to ask what yourself what your looking for mostly :0 KD
