analyze

[starfur]

Hy i was wondering why the analyze isnt allways the same reading over the same target,it sometimes bounces too different shaped color grahps.
And the size doesnt allways stay the same,on that same target,when you keep scanning over it.
And allso what is the best way too test my detector inside the house,on different targets,i have turned the rx gain down and that dont help alot.
And one more thing,is there anyone who khows how too detect near electric fensces?
I hope too here feedback,ty

different sweep speed, crossing over the targer slightly different with each pass

the common program was set up for testing

electric fences are a pain. I haven't been able to figure that one out yet either :veryangry:

You might want to try correlate mode for hunting by electric fences. (under frequency/3 frequency/vdi method).

On the different colors thear mite be another target close by????
Try that color thing in different places, Are is it a air test??? Mic

I think I had first mentioned the correlate mode a good while back. Not sure why it would help, but the last time I tried it there was no difference. In retrospect I was hunting single frequency then and that option isn't available with single. I've found that the electric fence interference is worse when it is extremely humid and even worse yet with dew on the ground.

but the commonon mode still doesnt act perfect in the house

 

[starfur]

no it's a ground test,and on the same target it seems too be allitle diferent every time i make a new sweep

I figured out how to combat electric fences. Two ways, actually. First, I bride the land owner to turn it off. If he won't, I then revert to what Nemo said in the Matrix. " There is no spoon", and just ignore it. More of a Jedi mind trick actually. Then, when my head is splitting with a migrane, I go home and watch football. You are right. It is a pain. And, if the ground is wet after a lot of rain, it is worse. If it's a good spot, I do just try to tune it out, or work as far away from the fence as I can. I travel three hours to hunt a civil war battle site that a large protion of which is on private land. The land owner has givin me exclusive rights to hunt it with the understanding I can keep the bullets, but he gets everything else. I've honored that agreement, to the point of giving him a six pound solid shot I found on his place three years ago. He' my friend for ever. He will turn his fences off when he sees me there, but sometimes I get there early and he may not see me for two or three hours. He drives a school bus and isn't always around when I get there. Anyway, I've used severl brands and models of detectors there and they ALL are effected by electric fences. If anyone has a good deep relic machine that isn't, let me know. I'll buy one.

keep on diggin'

The one main thing that you can do for EMI is go to a smaller coil. It will get you closer in to higher EMI areas. Frequency offset, single freq. and bumping up to 12.5 filtering can help.

A really big thing about the Analyze is to realize that it is not just doing a target analyzation but it is processing the whole target ground matrix @ your target, WITH Recovery Delay parameters. Your actual physical sweep speed timing, how centered/from which direction you are coming in from are biggies. Clean and lower complexity ground/low complexity targets will give clean humps. When you start throwing in the other factors of ground mineralization,depth,oxidation,other adjacent targets and then.... any settings/search habits you use, it does change how "clean" the Analyze function responds. The trick to it is...learn (with time and experience) how these variables do effect it and...to realize that it IS giving you consistent info (just skewed to the variables). Once learned, you can recognize a good analyze function that is not a perfect hump. Usually your gut learns it before your brain does.

The thing that makes it comfortable (for me at least) is realizing that most targets do analyze textbook,some are close to it and the remainder comes with accumulated experience and the ALL IMPORTANT gut feeling. No aspect of a machine is the "end all" for what to dig. The Analyze is a truly great feature that helps immeasurably, but...no discriminator feature as good as ourselves.
