Does Deep Mode Do anything Racer 2

[Ringzapper]

I have seen some video's on you tube using deep mode on buried coins , the thing is from what i see if a coin is buried at say 11 inches and the normal mode is is struggling to detect the coin
then deep mode also struggles on the deep coin , I wonder if it actually really does go deeper in deep mode , the tests seem to show it does not seem to go any deeper!..

Which videos?

Its helpa tremendously with airgaps..like straw and foliage etc..

where say you cant get coil close to ground..a R1may not report a 8 inch dime with 3 inch straw on top..the R2 will.

That video online was very good and it did seem that boost was useless??

The Deep Mode works but it's going to take a bit of time and effort to see the 'how's and the why's of it"?

Instruction Manual states "Slow sweep"

From what I've seen so far is I've been using it in the wrong location i.e. heavy iron junk area
and I was treating it like a C & J mode. i.e. fast sweep
I don't think that's the intention?

When Nokta emerged at first they introduced a few "Deep Seeking" models that didn't look like normal mainstream detectors.
The "Golden King" was intended as a deep locator of caches and voids I.e. underground empty spaces.
In other words, "Indiana Jones" type stuff.

Deep Mode might be a 'carry over' or 'a nod' to that mentality.

Having said that I think in the "right circumstances" it may have a place and purpose but, as of time of writing, I haven't formed a complete opinion yet.

The old 'mason jar' stories come to mind though! For years the stories of "caches" in the hobby magazines told of deeply buried glass jars crammed full of silver coins buried around old farmsteads around the country? Since the rise of the Internet I haven seen any or precious little about any 'modern day' success stories featuring 'mason jars' and old farmsteads?
Maybe it might be good for this activity?

Conversely, what I saw a few times was Deep Mode [ accented ] weak signals and I was able to hit a 6" X 3" tin can at two ft plus in an air test so it does do something?
Some testing in the next few weeks should reveal all?
I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

Wouldn't jars crammed with silver ring as iron?

From what i see deep mode will do nothing to gain extra depth in bad or average ground. However it should give better depth where the grass is long or maybe on dry sand a few inches could be gained.

here's a recent youtube video that's shows 'deep' mode working pretty well...

also, for an 'iffy' deep signal, maybe switching to deep mode would be reasonable to see if it clears up, becomes 2-way, etc.
just a thought...
