    For starters, Never use "Coin" mode. Go into "Custom" and turn off everything 30 and below. What's happenening it's detecting the silver coin and the iron at the same time, 96+15=111.5 (96 for the silver coin and 15 for the Iron), Devide that by 2 you get 55.75, Outside the "Coin" range. All depends on what registers at what time within the EMF. I know on mine there is a "Ground Balancing" option and since you're searching in what looks like clay it should have been calibrated to the ground along with your Pin Pointer.

    Easiest way to quickly sort out the ferrous-scrap is to carry a strong magnet in a clip-lock plastic-bag (makes it so much easier to remove fine particles of rusted iron & steel), however some soils, particularly that reddish clay, can have actually contain a high quantity of iron which will always make it difficult for most metal-detectors to discriminate different materials!

    Jeremy, have you seen the detector that DALLMYD, Jiggin with Jordan and Nora Svet use? I know it’s expensive but maybe you should bite the bullet, send that one back and get a Minelab Excalibur. They’re about $1,600. Or keep that one. I’m just making a suggestion. Thanks for doing what you do.

    I have used the AT Pro for several years. When I first got the Apex it was a difficult learning curve and I put it down for awhile. But I have picked it back up and used it a lot and as I have gotten used to it it has produced well for me. Going back over spots I thought were "dug out" I have been pleasantly surprised to find more good targets. I have found several Walkers in varying soil conditions. The same with Mercury dimes. One of my fields is a complete iron bed of nails from a house that burnt down. I have found a Barber dime and a silver back to a lapel pin. I have also found a Gold ring in an iron heavy field. I hope you give it more time and varying settings and conditions before throwing it in the garbage column. Love your videos.

    Things on the surface will read different than when they are buried. Different soils can affect the reading too. My husband and I have 2 Whites metal detectors. Mine’s a Prism IV, shows depth, has discrimination and target shows on a graph, no ID numbers. His is a Spectrum, discrimination, ID, depth, manual ground balancing, lots of programs. They both do about the same but mine is easier, turn it on and you’re ready. We moved from Oregon to Montana and they are both working differently than before. The depth is showing much shallower and we would be rich if all the silver signals weren’t old beer cans. We are digging all the signals at our place as it used to be a general store and post office and there was once a town in our pasture.

    Hi. I just want to say, I know you must enjoy ur "day job" & now, you share ur "off time" with us. You have a great life, please be careful and enjoy it.
    One more thing, I've been following the Kiely Rodni story. I'd like to get ur take on the condition of her Honda, when it was pulled out. I saw the drivers side window was broken out, the side mirror on the driver's side was also broken off, just dangling. I also noticed the driver's side rear passenger window was down, those windows don't usually roll all the way down, so in that case, it looks to me like it's rolled down as low as it would go. I think there was plenty of room for her to get out. I don't know a out the very back glass or the other side windows or side mirror. Kiely's car was also upside down when they found it. I'm quite sure you already know all this. So, allow me, with ur experience, does a an support normally roll over when it hits the water or after it's submerged? And is the damage to the driver's window & mirror normal? Do you have an idea how fast she was going to be 55 feet from the bank? Really, would just like ur input. I promise I'm not affiliated with any LE or news channel & I don't have a UA-cam channel. In advance, I appreciate ur consideration.
    Of course, please continue to share with us & get a new metal detector, not much telling what you've missed. I love ur video's & you have a nice, comforting voice.
    Best wishes from Dallas, Texas ❤

    • @HustleMuscleGhias
      @HustleMuscleGhias Рік тому

      Assuming there were no currents, assuming you know the weight of the car, the weight of the victim involved, the height of the bank, you should be able to apply a ballistics formula used calculating the trajectory of a fired round of ammunition at a certain range by plugging in meters of feet per second which are convertible to kilometers or miles per hour.. What you might have problems with is figuring out the weight of the fuel that the car had in the tank and the weight of the personal effects that were in the vehicle at the time of the incident to be factored into gross vehicle weight. To be conservative, I'd estimate half a tank of gas.

    That said, Amazing how fast the evolation of detectors has changed to current day. Garrett was the brand I started with in the 80’s and I ahoping their new Storm series gets them back into the mix of being either at or ahead of the modern-day detector tat take on both the Minelab Xterra Elite and the Nokta Triple Score at the value end of Simulateous Multi-Frequency, and take on the XP Deus II and Minelab Manticore at the higher end offerings.I’ve put my purchase decision off until after the upcoming June 18th reveal from Garrett.

    Iron will screw with the signals. You should use it all metal mode. You need to learn the metal detector before you go bashing it.

    Goes to show Dig Everything 👍 Check out Stealth Diggers/ Not Thursday. You might talk to him about your Detector see what he says about the settings. Just a thought 😎

    Sorry, your test was not well done at all. First, you admitted you "might be doing something wrong" - you didn't show us your settings. Second, show a detector that would show that quarter next to that giant piece of iron you had.
