A huge massive thank you to Alan you have been amazing you wouldn't believe how you've made us all feel thank you so much

well done Landyman great result :)

Great to read about the successful search. well done Landyman.

 Thanks.
The lady had been left the ring three weeks ago when her mother died and was really upset about loosing it. It was great to see her face when I found it. Everyone was well chuffed.

btw. Yesterday searched with Dues for two hours without finding it.
        Today searched the same area with E trac and found it in 10 minutes.........

great result mate , a very happy ending  :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Nice result Mister, well done.

Well done Landyman!  :)

A great result landyman well done,  very few folk like you around brilliant.

Great result - I'm really glad you were able to find it.

Would be interested to know what settings you used on the E-TRAC and roughly where on the screen the ring came - surprised you didn't find it with the Deus.

Well done matey, fantastic result ;)

Nuff said!   ::)

Brilliant outcome well searched and really pleased its back with owner ;) ;) ;) don't worry about the Deus not finding it its just that you never went over it ???  ;)

Great result, can only be good publicity for the sport. And nice to see someone who will give their time to help others.

Top marks my man

Thanks everyone for the comments.


Oh yes I did. At least 3 times. And from different angles.  ;)
The problem was that the area was full of junk, foil, bottle tops ect and the Deus was giving signals all the time despite me playing with the discrim and sensitivity.

Probono.
You asked about Etrac settings.
In the discrimination settings I blacked out the whole screen then waved a few gold rings over the coil and used the accept/reject button to accept only them signals. ( Minelab call this "Auto latch mode" pg 48 in instructions).
It finished with a black screen apart from a small white line at 12:07 to 12:30.

I used Deep off. Fast on. Trash High. Ground difficult and turned the sensitivity down to 15.
The detector was then very quiet and ignored all the junk and deep stuff.
I had 2 signals that were bits of rolled up foil just in the surface then 3rd signal...BINGO.

 

Thanks for the explanation - I always wonder about how much to discrim - generally I run it quite wide open - I've certainly found quite a few things that I would have missed otherwise - but then I've never found a gold ring with my ETRAC - just some gold hammereds (I actually found the first one in the spoil with a pinpointer, after finding some groats) And I still don't know where they came as I was too excited! Sounds like the ones you tried came on the 'coin' line.

I play around with the trash and ground settings too - most of the fields I search in are empty, so low trash neutral ground helps - I've just always felt that the detection distance for gold on minelabs seems to be small -but then I never found any gold with my Deus...

Wey hey I just got my reward :)
They tried to give me cash but I refused to take it.
But I did say "If you know any land owners /farmers ect, ect"
Just got one farm to detect on and possibly another.

Way to go Landyman.  That's a reward in itself and could mean more than money. ;)

That proves an old saying"what comes around,goes around,great reward,for a great effort by a good bloke.👍

A perfect end to a lovely story. I hope you hit the jackpot on your new permissions.  :)
