I just purchased a sand scoop from Amazon,...it will arrive tomorrow. It looks to be well made (stainless), 5 stars from 32 buyers. I am pretty new btw, to metal detecting. Just got a T2, stepped up from a whites prizm. My question is, was this scoop actually made by Garrett? They have the name...

My wife worked for Intel for many years. I remember back in the late 1970’s she brought home a chart that predicted the micro processing power for their chip line for the next 30 years. It was a steady upward curve from the old early pc chip the 8088. Guess what, it was almost dead on the money...

Think about what processing power we have in our detectors like the XP Deus and Equinox 800. I would rather venture they have more power than the computer on Apollo 11 and the first IBM PC. Apollo 11 was landed on the moon using a computer that had 1,300 times less than the processing power of...

Had a nice talk with a new friend in the park. I was walking my dog, but somehow the conversation got to the subject of metal detecting. He said he had always wanted to get into metal detecting since he was a kid. We talked for about 30 minutes. He said he bought a cheap one for about $30 about...

I am new to the forum. I live in St Augustine, FL only a couple hours north of the Treasure Coast. I have been detecting for about 50 years. I have had detectors that would barely detect a Sherman tank to the latest Garrett AT Max, with my sights on the CTX 3030. I have found tons of coins...

Hi, I ran into a nice young man at the park that was real interested in metal detecting. He has a degree in anthropology and currently working a temporary type job of AAA auto customer support. so he frequently has several hours of downtime between calls. I recommend that he start with a used...

Amazon sales of at max vs equinox 600 and 800 Here are some interesting stats. Keep in mind these only represent a fraction of the metal detector sales since most come through dealers outside of Amazon. As an amazon seller I have access to tools to show unit sales of most amazon items for...

I've had this machine for about 4 months. It was reliable and usable when I got it...so much so that I bought a NEL Storm coil, then a NEL Snake coil. Recently (within the last month), the speaker works sometimes (I've resorted to using the headphones all of the time, although it's hotter than...

When I try pinpointing with the nel thunder I really cannot get it down much more than the width of the coil by going from east to west and north and south. The best way for me is just to use the front tipoff the coil and listen to where the signal appears and disappears and walk around the...

Finally got to get out in the yard with an improvement in the weather and do some searching. Up to today the only things I have found with minimal time is pull tabs,nails, cans and misc trash . After the first day I started to improve and found a bullet (modern copper cladded) but an improvement...

I am going to start hunting creeks and rivers in north atlanta. all of this area was populated back to the early 1800's. I use the AT Pro in the pro zero mode. thanks for your help.

We just started a blog and a youtube channel and we are now up to our 5th video! Just released our latest this morning! Check out the content and leave comments! Stay tuned for weekly uploads Monday 7am EST. Happy Hunting! Episode 3 - Getting closer - Check it out...

Just wanted to say how happy I am with my purchase of AT Pro Garrett 5x8 coil made through Dave from RT6Detectors. Coil arrived within 3 days. The process of ordering was super easy and stress free. Thank you Dave and Rogue Team Six Detectors.

Hello Everyone, I would like to add a jack, connected to the audio output , in the housing of my Garrett Pro Pointer Pin-Pointer. Unfortunately there is no obvious way to disassemble the unit to gain access to the audio output circuitry. I called Garrett and they said it takes a special tool...

AT Pro test garden early results The AT pro could not find the silver mercury dime at 8". The dime was placed in a flat, face up or edges laying parallel to the surface. Next I tried a flattened silver plated ring that I recovered last week at a skate board park at a depth of 12" The flattened...

I live about 30 minutes from Lake Lanier (biggest lake in Georgia just north of Atlanta). It is a very busy lake in terms of boaters and swimmers. It has quite a few public beaches. I have a Garrett AT Pro, but am just learning how to use it properly. I want to do some water hunting up at the...

I just pulled out my old Garrett Groundhog again, put in new batteries and turned it on. Apparently there is something wrong with the speaker. The dial is working fine and batteries show full power. I can hear a clicking noise when I sweep the coil over metal...but no other sounds. All the...

Hi all! My name is Eddie and I live in Washington, DC (technically Montgomery County, Maryland). I'm newer to treasure hunting and just bought myself a Garrett Ace 350 for Christmas. I'm looking to meet other beginners who would be open to learning together, as well as experienced treasure...

I've been using my NEL Storm coil for about a week, and before my purchase I did as much research as I could here and other forums. Since there isn't a lot of info out there on this setup I will jot my thoughts down here, it may help someone in their selection. Out of the box: coil looks to be...

Just had to tell "someone"! Next week I will be the proud owner of an ACE 350 and Pro Pin Pointer! Well, technically I'm the owner now, but it just isn't here yet. I bought the VERY lightly used kit from a forum member and can't believe my luck. On SS so thought I would have to settle for the...
