Metal Detecting Equipment and Training
I just added the Garrett AT Gold to the equipment list. I was looking for a machine that would perform really well on small gold items like diamond earrings and very small diamond pendants. The Minelab CTX 3030 manages well, but the prospecting (AT GOLD) hits these small items really well.
I purchased two small gold items from a local jewelry store for field testing and training purposes. The AT GOLD works amazingly well and should increase my recovery rate for these types of items.
Test Items
The New Garrett AT Gold
First test run with the AT Gold at a nearby park
The AT Gold picked out this small earring on its first test run along with some of the smallest specs of aluminum and other debris I have ever recovered.
My first impressions, the machine is awesome, and it has already proven itself capable of finding micro specs of Au, Ag, and Pt.
Au: Gold
Ag: Silver
Pt: Platinum
