    Love the sound of the wind through the pines back in the mountains. Especially back far enough where there is no man made sound. But it's sad to see all the trash left by the shooters. I enjoy shooting too, but I always clean up my shell casings before I leave.

      I have traveled the U.S. and I'd say that Colorado is the most beautiful of our states though I am in Ventura county California which is awesome but it has its down fall as I'm sure ppl think Colorado is to cold. I actually like both sunny and snowy days, a def season change vs the stable weather they hv in California. If I had a fireplace in California, it wouldn't get used unless it was a pit in the yard outside. I run around in shorts m sandals year round here. I lived in Va near D.C. n Washington near Seattle. I loved them both but the humidity and wet weather killed me. I think that's why my family moved from Europe to the states. Bennet clan from Scotland.
      And on that Coors can? 1960s is the yrs of the can. www.coorscans.com/.. this is the site I found it.. 2 clicks n vwalla!! I'd love to visit n travel Scotland, England n Ireland though. With the way stupid ppl here vote in sucky prez.. I considered leaving. Right now all the prejudice ppl are coming out of the woodwork with this gov.

  • @calvinh.8882
    @calvinh.8882 6 років тому +1

    Bullets have lead with brass coatings and the brass shells of course.. and all high metal objects will sound and ring up about the same.. So brass, copper, aluminum, gold, silver, and well you get the point, lol.. But when they are in different shapes like rings and other weird shapes, they can ring up different.. Try to hunt in Pro Mode, zero discrimination, and iron audio set at about 25. Listen carefully at those pull tab signals, because gold will ring up about the same as pull tabs sometimes, But gold tends to have a softer signal compared to a pull tab, but more of a stable sounding signal.
    Good luck hunting, and i hope you hit it big! Peace!

    I went out hiking in New Mexico once and found a spoon on a hill side. I kept it because there was an old fire circle at the top of the hill and I looked up the mark on it... It's from the California Perfume Company... I neat little bit of cowboy history circa 1800's.

    Great video -------- some tips if I may----- I've been hunting with the AT Pro now for four years and know the machine fairly well. One thing not to do ----
    . never run it where your battery ios at half bar
    . always bring a spare pack of batteries just in case
    . go slow and be thorough when detecting
    You should be good if you follow those tips.

      Distorted Fate Yes I just wanted a simple catchy guitar riff for my intro/outro music so I just grabbed my guitar and recorded the first thing that came out. It seems to work ok.

  • @calvinh.8882
    @calvinh.8882 6 років тому +1

    As for your beer can, If the top is crimped on, then it's an early 70's, and some cans were made as flat tops to sell to collectors in the late 1970s and early 1980s.. But there should be a date stamped on the top or bottom that tells the date it was canned, or it could be the date the beer was brewed.. Peace!

    • @calvinh.8882
      @calvinh.8882 6 років тому

      And if it don't have a UPC symbol, then it was made before 1978.. Because in 1978 they started putting the UPC's on all the cans..

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  6 років тому +1

      Oh dang, I didn't even look or notice if there's a UPC on it. Thanks for the info! Thanks for watching! atb -KG

  • @JIMinBama1
    @JIMinBama1 7 років тому

    Tip u may not know . Before digging any target hold the coil about 2 feet off the ground .
    If it still beeps it is a large object like a can , ax head and so on .
    If it goes silent it is something small like a ring or coin or a small piece of junk .
    This will keep you from digging up a bunch of large pieces of junk .

  • @ThePbZepplin
    @ThePbZepplin 6 років тому +1

    Your batteries in the AT Pro look a bit flat. I find that once the detector shows less than full bars battery power, the batteries are close to flat, and this can affect the detector's performance.

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Рік тому

      I use County Assessor maps, and best of all I get permission. Best way to get a permission is to email the property owner (found by using the couny assessor maps) and then emailing that person asking for permission to do some metal detecting / be on their property. Once they give permission in the reply email, I just print it out and keep it on me when doing that property. It's saved me a few times. If it's a park, just email the parks and rec department. If it's someone's house, just knock on the door and asking is the most common way.

    hello there I was wondering if you could help me I have several claims in a historical mining district in Colorado and since your from there I was wondering how could I change some of my claims to a combo claims . Half of my claims are placer and the other half are lode. all my claims are surrounded by patented mining claims. half of the placer claims have some old lode mines at the top of my claims and half of my lode claims had mill sites at the bottom of them

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  5 років тому

      Hi Ricchard, so I don't know the process of changing claims as you describe, I just haven't researched that yet.

    I dont think you should metal detect. You are really bad at it! How many times do you need to hit the same spot before you dig. Gezz Louis get on with it already!

      I'm a disabled veteran with some back injuries makes it difficult to dig. I do it for fun, if you don't like it go away.
