D2 hits deep

[GazinUK]

Relic mode, iar 3, notch 00-02, sensitivity max, recovery 0.5 (any faster deeper targets didn't register) the tiny copper token was just the depth of the garrett probe, and was one of the targets that wouldn't register with a faster recovery speed no matter how fast or slow I swung, and its 12mm, foil thin from 1666.
Deepest bit was the lead top left, measured 14" and I'd have got deeper based on the signal. Tried to dig faint signals only, but you know how it is, was really impressed with what it did. The site is permanent grass land and has been for over 250 years, it had a single track railway running through it for 80 years, so loads of iron etc in places. Will be going back.

The D2 is a great detector.
Me and a buddy watch utube vids made in the UK and swear you all have fluff for dirt. I'm not saying you're exaggerating just that we have never been able to get similar results in our dirt

I know what you mean, but this site is really clean.

Good work there Gaz. I have mild soils here in the US and I can hit targets at the depths you mention when the conditions are right. The keys are as you point out is using max Sensitivity, and very low Reactivity. Using IAR of 3 like you do in Relic (or Goldfield) is good because it won't "discriminate" out the most deepest iron.....or nonferrous targets that are so deep that they start to look like iron to the detector.

What size coil was you using ?

 

[GazinUK]

11" coil. Have got some extra free time this weekend, I'll be going back with some markers/flags, and run through a couple of different settings etc. Am contemplating an 11x13 coil, wont buy new as lose too much on re-sale. Considering the area am really surprised I've only ever had 1 coin. Mind you it was 13th century, but am convinced theres more there.
