Metal Detecting Morning Silvers – www.metaldetectorX.com – After finding that Walker, I had to get back to that place ASAP. I believe I have figured out why this place is producing silver coins well. A long time ago this place was the city dump. With 10+ trash targets per swing, this place is quite a challenge. To detect here I have to sweep the coil at the speed of a running ant. The second reason being, it’s next to a couple major highways. The noise from the roads makes it very hard to concentrate. Six months ago I would have ran from places like this. – neswiper

Why it Makes Sense to Get a Compass Metal Detector
The Compass metal detector is a popular brand in the metal detecting community. Indeed, if you want your fair share of rare coins and other small treasures, Compass is the way to go.
The name has been around for ages actually. It has been many years since metal detectors from Compass have been made. Despite the age of many units, treasure hunters still keep coming back to Compass. What is it about metal detectors from Compass that users still keep coming back to it? There are quite a few good reasons to stay with your Compass or buy a second hand one.
- Compass has been named appropriately. Like a real compass, a Compass detector can really point you to the right direction accurately. Users of Compass have noticed that their detectors can spot a coin even 10 inches below mineral-rich soil.
- Metal detectors from Compass are quite sensitive. You can swing it casually over an area and it can still manage to give you the maximum number of beeps if there is something worth digging. Metal detector enthusiasts have tried and tested this by burying their own stash of coins over pebbles, trash or rocks. A Compass always manages to find it faster than the others.
- A Compass metal detector often doesn’t fool around. Some coin or treasure hunters often face the problem of dealing with false signals. With Compass, you get less of that. Some models of Compass can even give you a clue on its meter if you have found anything less than gold.
- These metal detectors have great features. It has coils shaped in D that other detectors now also carry. It also has an auto notch feature for greater discrimination if you can afford not to think about depth.
There are many other great features to a Compass. If you are still a little uncertain about it, then you just have to ask real users what they think about it. There are many loyal and new Compass users who would be willing to vouch for their units. Head off to metal detector blogs and forums and read what they think about Compass. You can even leave these experts some messages in case there are things you would want to know more about Compass.
So where can you buy a Compass? There isn’t much of a problem about that. Even older analog models are still available if you know where to look. The best places to start looking are in metal detector and treasure hunting sites. Another option would be auction sites where you are certain to get good deals.
One thing you have to remember though is to be careful when buying online. You do not want to end up buying a defective Compass. Make sure you research a bit about your seller’s history and his reputation. Some auction sites will make this easier for you by providing you with feedback from other members of their online community. Be sure to ask a lot of questions too about the unit you are about to buy.
A Compass metal detector is truly a valuable item. Make sure though that you get one that’s as good as new.

Metal Detecting Oregon – AT Pro & E-Trac Comparisons on 4-6″ Silver Dimes!
Here’s some unedited video side-by-side comparisons of the 2 detectors I own. Most of you know by now, that I’ve had an on going complaint with Garrett about the depth of the Garrett AT Pro. But it’s not so much about the depth as it is filtering. Sure the AT Pro air test are great, but I’ve shown by putting that coin in a hole, you can lose half it’s depth. NOT EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM!! Read that last line again. I have an on going email with Garrett about this issue and all they tell me to do is: 1) Send us your unit and we’ll check it out (Did this twice). 2) Bury a coin for a month (I did 4 months) and check to see if detector hits coin ( AT Pro couldn’t find 8″ silver half). 3) What do the bench test say? ( This email reply came today). Hears the thing. Everyone, everywhere is going to have different test results depending on soil. Period. There’s nothing the detector can do “if” it doesn’t have the technology built into the unit to filter minerals out. Look at www.dankowskidetectors.com test results. He gets better depth, but talks about some problems. My air test were great. Just like Garrett showed on their video. The one that made me want to buy the AT Pro. But Garrett never, ever does in-field depth test or field test. Sure, they put the coins in a test garden, but they didn’t get their soil from Council Crest here in Portland. Man, that soil is bad. So can Garrett fix my issue? Probably not. I know there are many hunters in the Portland area that have the AT …
