Confidence Meter

[matthias]

Does it work for you? How heavily do you rely on it? I seem to use it heavily, especially when getting tons of signals all over the scale. I'd like to read your about your experience using it. Thanks in advance. HH. Matt

I also rely often on it......when you got several bars lit up on a coin reading it usually is......hh.....Dan

I use it, but, also go by the 'quality' of the tone and its' consistency. I have found a clad dime and a nickel, seperate times, and both were just a few inches from a tab. The ability of this machine to recognize a tab and a coin that close together is amazing.....it was the confidence meter that prompted me to dig in each of those cases.

I use it sometimes, but I have found coins with broken signals(all over the place) and little to no confidence, I decided to dig because the siganl was in coin range.and bingo there it was, Last night I got a dime zinc nickle read it was bounceung all over between the 3 ( confidence was high) and to my suprize when i dug it up there was a dime a penny and a nickle stacked on top each other . Happy huntin to all Stryker

Yep, I do the same thing and have found a quarter, dime and two pennies in the same spot.....almost touching, but, not stacked. This target, too, was bouncing between the three, but, never dipped into the 'tab' range.

Yes I have found coins with jumpy signals but what I'm saying is this when I find several bars lit up and vdi in coin range it usually is a coin.,,,,I don't solely rely on it to many factors involved......hh.....Dan

I agree with you boxofchocolates,I moniter the meter and think of it as a usefull tool,but also try to absorb the rest of the information this machine is trying to tell me, and there are times when the ltd has a lot to say!!!!!!!

 

[boxofchocolates]

Yep, it has a lot to say for sure lol......hh......Dan

I used to ignore it as a gimmick but when the audio was jumping around and so was the TID number on a target a few weeks ago, I noticed it jumped up several bars on one of the TIDs. When I dug the target it matched the TID that had the high confidence. Since then I have been watching and while it doesn't always jump up when the TID and audio are jumping around, when it does it seems to be right more than I had expected. So I do pay attention to it when it jumps up now.

I wonder if Dave J can explain what it is doing without giving away any trade secrets?

Whats a confidence meter.
I almost never look at it but i mostly older site

 

[boxofchocolates]

If I was digging everything like relics and coins I wouldn't either but looking for coins in a lot of trash were the ltd hits multible times on one swing every swing you get tired of digging.......and I know something good is mixed in as well.gotta find something that works best.....hh
PS try that with 99 sens bp o disc sounds like a machine gun lol
