Hello all, I am relatively new to Md'ing, and I bought a Garrett Master Hunter ADS 3, recentlly (my first real MD), this detector was never used apparently as it looks brand new, it came with a 8" and 12" deepseeker coils, arm support and 9v battery tray, it does not however have the plug for the tray to recharge NiCad 9v's so I just use the disposable for now. I will get a seperate charger to use rechargeables in the future, if I can't find a plug somewhere. I was just wondering if any "oldtimers" out there who arre experienced with this particular MD. had any advice on how to use it, I have the original instruction manual, as well as the one from the Garrett website. But I know there are little tricks that probablly are not in the manual. Does this detector have motion detection, and what mode (VLF/TR) does that work in? How and when should I use TR mode? will this detector find gold nuggets? What does gold sound like ( foil/nickle/coins/...)? That sort of thing? I have heard that these detectors compete nicely against more modern detectors. So far i believe I have GD figured out on this thing. I try to recheck it every 1/2 hr or so. So far i have found about $10 in coins, lots of bottle caps and trash, a few keys, no jewelry yet, but i've only been out with it twice. I paid $100 for this machine and am quite pleased with it so far. And from what I have read, anyone who has gotten rid of there older Garretts, ends up regretting that decision later.
