Best Noise Cancel Setting For Gold

U

Member
Was wondering what noise cancel channel, 1-11, do most people use? I've heard, awhile ago, that the higher channels were better for finding gold. Is this true? Is there a "better overall" channel setting to use? Thanks in advance.
 
I dont know that there is a good or bad channel for finding gold....... they are more for making the machine run stable. I used to use the Exp..... its channel was more stable near the salt water at 1..... but that changed with the ET........ it was 11 and i believe the CTX is the same. BUT..... to say one is better than the other, youd have to know exactly what freq are being used in each channel.... and we dont, they are random. IMO with the CTX and the salt setting it just dont matter........ allow the machine to adjust its self to smooth running so you hear the weaker signals. i dont think you have a lot to gain with manually setting the CTX unless the conditions require you to play with them.

When I use a recharged battery and a recharged WM10 remote and pairing, you have a choice of picking the channel, 1 thru 11. I have picked different channels and each time when pairing the same channel comes up. I, again, get a chance to change the channel. Are you telling me the CTX can make that choice? If so, how? Is there a setting I have to adjust to allow the CTX to do this? My feeling is, what ever channel you choose, the CTX will find the best setting for that channel. How does the CTX pick the correct channel, 1 through 11, and then pick the correct setting for that channel? Or, am I missing something obvious?
 
I believe there are 2 channel settings being talked about. The first is the Noise Cancel setting on the CTX which reduces outside interference. I do not believe it has anything to do with the channel being used to transmit to the WM10. That can be easily checked by noting the wm10 channel and then noting the channel indicated by pressing down the noise cancel button. Perhaps repost asking if there is a "best WM10 channel" for gold?
 
I thought he was talking about the auto or manual noise cancel on the machine? Which you can be set....... by holding down the noise cancel button. Unlike the Sov which had its channels set in 1.5 increments the FBS has 11 channels...... each with random settings. I dont use the WM10. But these channels with a tad bit of freq variations can make a difference on some beaches.

The targets dictates what part of the FBS frequency spectrum best suits its characteristics.

The optimum frequency for ANY target is relatively broad, that's why pulse detectors (Minelab's FBS) are good for that task.

28 harmonics .... 1.5 KHz spaced up to 100 KHz. enough for any ring in a variety of gold alloys. etc.

Noise cancel simply off-sets the harmonics by a few per-cent frequency-wise....but not of any real significance...WHY?

YOU don't know the target's preferential frequency......you just hunt...and hope ANY ring is under your coil.

So noise-cancel for EMI and do your detector a favour....forget the myths....forums are full of such crap.......matt
 
If it's on the internet it must be true. Les internet more detecting more finds. Matts basically right and no magic in the box also right.
 
The wm10 best channel for producing gold? IS the clearest channel the two can talk to each other. If your hearing fine with no interference then that's the one. It has nothing to do with Noise Cancel.

I might add that I have noticed that if a wind is blowing and sand is moving on the surface that I have noticed that the sound will become unstable a bit and can also cause choppy signals. I do alot of Noise cancel at these moments, and my Grey Ghost are awesome fit and tone. Unplugging the wm 10 has helped on occasion but just enough that I only do that occasionally.
 
Not to start an argument, but I dont believe you are correct on that 1.5 Khz freq spread that was on a Sov. That changed with the Explorers and FBS when these freqs were randomly spaced within each channel.. I believe on page 12 of Andys book he makes reference to the 11 channels and the slight different spacing of the 28 freqs. I also dont have a lot of time in a couple of month to disagree on the noise cancel. But.....for beach hunting i assure you on the Explorer there is a difference where the channel is set manually on the wet sand. I think the OP was about raw gold thou. If he was asking if a higher freq machine was better...... like 72khz as opposed to 3 or 7khz, then id say yes. Can that be achieved with setting a channel on the CTX .....not really. The CTX and most multi freq machines arent very effective raw gold machines or even micro gold on the beach. Buy a used gold bug and you have a better chance with raw gold.
 
As I said Matt is Basically right. But you are too FBS2 is spaced differently. The channel between the 3030 and the WM10 is of no benefit other than being clear.
Want Gold buy a real Gold Machine or flap like a chicken and not find much.
 
Dirt hunters have been using the CTX a lot longer than us beach guys Steve. More are picking them up..... with caution in the water. But i believe we are getting a good all around machine as information is shared and differences in performance/use for both dirt and sand are shared.
