chirping

[leojack]

Question regarding chirping on some targets.Does this indicate anything that may rule out a good targ.vs.bad.I'm assuming its a pull tab and dont dig with a mid range vdi#.I hear it in Hi-Pro mostly but occasionally in C&J.Thanks ....Jack

The only way to get a positive ID is to dig the target and see what is under the coil. You will soon be able to match what the detector is telling you to what is in the ground most of the time. When in doubt, dig. That is the best way to learn what the different sounds and display info relates to target ID.

Hi Pro runs hotter than the C/J program. Audio is hard to describe on the forum. What you call a chirp I might call a blip. I'd dig all the chirps until I got an idea what the V was telling me. As you start digging and learning the non solid coin hits your finds will go up. Practice and experiment is the answer. You never said what you find when you dig these. Post what you find. Rob

You learn by digging. Yesterday I dug Vdi 64 and they were modern tokens. I got 8. Today I hunted a site that has been hit hard. I dug 12 nickels and 10 read 22 instead of 19. One penny reading was an Air Force button and a junk reading turned out to be a nice lighter.
