i dont understand why people say this is a waste of vid, every person can have 8 metal detecters and 8 people will say theres is the best, but truly you cant say that, some of them do better for gold and some do better with coin, what ever you want to hunt then get that one, some do it all but cost way to much and dont do one thing well, me i love to have a nox 800, dont mean that the at max is a piece of crap or this vid, great vid by the way, so just be easy on people making vids on here and showing you what works for them, thanks man and love it
@@relicdigr yea i try to like a vid or even dislike it if you make sence and you act like you know something ill like it every time, but if a kid gets on here and stumble threw what he is saying,. well im liking his stuff too. but ill try to help the kid along so one day he will know what he is saying and it wont be what i say it will be because he will knows. thanks for the msg and be safe
This is probably the most versatile metal detector ever made. It has modernized target identification plus it has classic gold machine attributes, i.e. all metal mode and threshold!!….
It would work similarly for such a search. Depending on what type of earring it is I could see getting some respectable depth, a stud earring you may not get more than a couple of inches though.
I would use, as shown in the video, all metal mode. If you are prospecting get the smaller coil and take your time. Water makes detecting harder, especially river water you get no breaks from the pressure of moving water. Also river detecting can be dangerous, don't go alone.
I've heard that when your out looking for Gold the smaller the coil the better... Do you know if this is true, and if so why? Please I'm trying to learn all I can... I'm in my golden years now and would like to try my hand at detecting in general. But some time I want to do some gold hunting... Thank you for any info... Be blessed... BBE..
Bobby, Yes a smaller coil is typically better for prospecting with a VLF machine. The reason that is that gold is normally found in highly mineralized ground. The smaller the coil the less mineralization that the machine will read. Since raw gold is a low conductive target (lower VDI numbers on machines with an ID), the less of the interference from mineraization the better the signal response from those smaller nuggets.
The machines I would recommend would be the the Garrett AT Max and the Minelab Equinox 800 for VLF machines and if you are looking to go with a PI machine the Whites TDI Beach Hunter. They all will get the job done.
justice that is a great setup but if you are going to hunt the water you will need the water kit. Bluetooth does not transmit through more than a couple of inches of water.
Have to say, I pre- ordered, and haven't found the first coin, needless to say nor a nugget. Keeps telling me target is @ Max depth and I dig nothing. Any suggestions?
Just like real-estate, location, location, location. If you are getting falsing it could be EMI or a bad ground balance. Other things to check is the coil wire, make sure you have it tight on the control box. Also check where the coil wire enters the coil, some wires can break at that location.
relicdigr. Do a TH-cam search on your phone or computer to see if theirs any tutitorials for your detector or programs this might show you more or google search.
I made this video over two years ago. Yes, now you can get it less than that stated preorder price. If you would like one give me a call and I can quote you a price.
I used the stock coil because it is the stock coil. I know the smaller coil would have done better on the nugget, but I wanted to show how the stock coil works on such a target.
The true all metal mode gives better sensitivity and better depth compared to a zero discrimination mode. The zero discrimination mode picks up nearly all conductives in the matrix, the zero discrimination mode has pre-set parameters on both high and low conductors. For most applications, zero discrimination works well, as it is preset to pick up most common sought after targets such as coins, jewellery and many relics. Gold hunters like the true all metal mode, as it gives a sensitivity advantage, especially when combined with a positive change in audio when using the threshold feature. This also gives a depth advantage.
Johnny did a good job of giving the vast majority of the differences. Some of the others are that zero mode still allows for tone ID while all metal does not. Zero mode still allows you to set a discrimination level, all metal will not. The three Discrimination Modes are less sensitive to small and deep targets than the all metal.
And that is why there is more than one brand and model. We each have our preference in machines. I also have and GREATLY enjoy my MXT (I have owned it since they first came out). But I still love to get out and try new machines to see what it is they have to offer.
É isso aí companheiro detectorista. Pois eu também tenho um canal no TH-cam: Leon detectorismo. E seu vídeo me dá mais ânimo pra continuar essa aventura. Pois se for possível se escreva no meu canal: Leon detectorismo. Obrigado! Que DEUS abençoe sempre sua vida! Em nome do senhor Jesus Cristo.
Just bought a 1 year subscription thanks to your video.

Some people you just can't make happy; it's not their brand, they wanted to make a similar video, your not their buddy. Who knows why.

Thanks for posting, can’t wait to try my luck for gold with my AT Max
Instablaster...
If you can remember, what was the digital readout on the 3" all metal mode around 5:47 in the video?
I do not recall the VDI, realistically when prospecting sound is more important than VDI.
That was an old railway pin for the oar tracks. Nice vid of the at max.
Good video for sure. What about at the beach looking for small jewelry like an earring, etc? Would this work similarly?
It would work similarly for such a search. Depending on what type of earring it is I could see getting some respectable depth, a stud earring you may not get more than a couple of inches though.
honest review ! thank you! very rare ....
Hi ,i want search Nuggets in the River what is the best Setting for the Garrett AT Max???
I would use, as shown in the video, all metal mode. If you are prospecting get the smaller coil and take your time. Water makes detecting harder, especially river water you get no breaks from the pressure of moving water. Also river detecting can be dangerous, don't go alone.
All metal ….light threshold
You can go Zero mode and Zero Iron Disc. and Iron Audio and gold will hit real clear.
Thanks for the comment, I am sure many will find that to be a good bit of information.
Hello, great video. Could you please explain to me what general configuration do you put on the AT Max to find gold nuggets? Thank you
I would suggest the 5x8 coil and then run in all metal.
I've heard that when your out looking for Gold the smaller the coil the better... Do you know if this is true, and if so why? Please I'm trying to learn all I can... I'm in my golden years now and would like to try my hand at detecting in general. But some time I want to do some gold hunting... Thank you for any info... Be blessed... BBE..

What do you think about the a t Max in the water at the beach?
I live in the Denver, Colorado area so no beaches near me. I have heard that the machine performs well on the beach form some note worthy sources.
@@relicdigr thanks for the reply... I'm thinking about buying one but I like the Minelab 800 as well.
@@carltonfiroved1489 I work for Treasure Mountain Detectors as a sales rep and can help you out with a purchase.
What is the best Detector for search Nuggets in River and on Land ????,
The machines I would recommend would be the the Garrett AT Max and the Minelab Equinox 800 for VLF machines and if you are looking to go with a PI machine the Whites TDI Beach Hunter. They all will get the job done.
@@relicdigr I have buy now the Deus XP with the White HF Coil,i hope there is good for searching Nuggets
justice that is a great setup but if you are going to hunt the water you will need the water kit. Bluetooth does not transmit through more than a couple of inches of water.
@@relicdigr I have buy water kit too

Pre order,,,,?? Amazon has them and cheaper ,,, am I missing something , I should know.
I made this video over two years ago. Yes, now you can get it less than that stated preorder price. If you would like one give me a call and I can quote you a price.
you need to get the small one to really get the gold but it does work
I used the stock coil because it is the stock coil. I know the smaller coil would have done better on the nugget, but I wanted to show how the stock coil works on such a target.
I thought (and everyone else says) gold should be in the 40s, not 80s... what's up with that?
enjoyed the video thumbs up
So whats the difference between all metal mode and zero mode?
The true all metal mode gives better sensitivity and better depth compared to a zero discrimination mode. The zero discrimination mode picks up nearly all conductives in the matrix, the zero discrimination mode has pre-set parameters on both high and low conductors. For most applications, zero discrimination works well, as it is preset to pick up most common sought after targets such as coins, jewellery and many relics.

Got the at max it's good for coins but hates salt water, why I don't no
You need to turn down the sensitivity a couple of notches in salt water.
Works in salt water lol buzzing
I prefer my whites mxt
And that is why there is more than one brand and model. We each have our preference in machines. I also have and GREATLY enjoy my MXT (I have owned it since they first came out). But I still love to get out and try new machines to see what it is they have to offer.
