I had a Bounty Hunter 3300. Only ever found clad. Thought it was the machine. Got an AT Pro. Still only find clad.
Even when it says 8" or deeper, I never seem to find any deeper than 4" or so.
Could be the places I'm searching, but a buddy off mine from this forum has found silver a few times while out with me. (dift brand).
Maybe a 5x8 sniper would help, but I really think it's my technique. I've watched the Garrett videos 2 or 3x each. I've read the manual. I've practiced in the yard in holes I've dug (only for about an hour). Have about 20-30 hrs in on the AT Pro.
I use standard or Pro coin, 35 or 40 discrimination, and sensitivity usually bumped up unless I'm getting too much chatter. Focus only on 50+ signals. Try to get a repeatable signal, then switch to pinpoint mode. When it is full bar, I do the "pull-back" and dig. If deeper than 4", I usually find nothing.
Help. Thx.
