It's been a while since I posted, seems like it was a long cold winter. I've been detecting the last couple of weeks down at the local fairgrounds/park for a hour or so most evenings. I'm using the excelerator 6" DD coil. I'm going to cover the whole area with it, almost 20 acres of ground, that's a lot of detecting with a small coil, but there's a whole lot of places that a loaded with junk. The first fair was held here in 1882, and the old baseball field and football field, and horse track and dog track were all down there. I've covered all the grounds with about every detector known to man, many times, but going slow, and with a small coil the etrac still manages to find silver once in a while.
Here's my take from yesterday. 2 rosies, 53 & 56, and 3 wheaties, 44, 49, & 54.
I run with the top 2/3 of the screen opened up, blanked out from FE26 on down to FE35, running in conductive, multi tones, and if there's not many targets I run with deep on, and in manual sensitivity. Once I start getting some or a lot of nulling, I switch to auto sensitivity, deep off, high trash, and fast on. It seems to me that in auto sensitivity that the etrac recovers from nulling faster than it does if you're in manual. If I get a crappy high conductive tone, I'll switch to the smart screen, if the signal will stay above fe25 in the smart screen I'm digging, but if it goes on down from FE26 to 35, which it does most times, I've found these to be, rusted bottle caps, rusted bolts, or rusted bent nails, so I don't dig them anymore.
Hope everyone gets to get out this weekend, HH ken-ks
