Took it out clad hunting in a park for a couple of hours to get re-aquainted. Ran it with Ferrous tones in Advance mode. Spent a little time in a sand pit with nothing disc'ed out just learning where iron and steel likes to live and where everything else likes to show up on the display. I thought it was fairly sensitive on smaller stuff. I saw a picture of where someone had a disc pattern that just blocked out the upper left corner. I think I agree with that pattern. All my iron trash lived in that corner.
Then I took it to the grass. Learned a nickel and edited the screen to create a high conductive block for just clad and started sweeping around. I enjoyed it. It's not a cladmaster like my little Golden uMax/Cleansweep combo but it did very well. Dug hardly any trash using it that way which is exactly what I want when clad hunting. Only retrieved 2 nickels that way, most probably because nickels drop down into high foil once they have been in the ground a bit here.
Out in the open spots I ran it in Iron Mask. Dug more alum trash there but that was ok as there were less signals. Most of my recovered trash came from here. I'll have to give this a try next time I go out park prospecting.
In one spot I did recieve a lot of electrical interference. The auto noise cancel took care if it like it had never been there. However I did notice that the audio responses were better toned at the end of the park where there wasn't any interferernce.
All said it was a very enjoyable time out and I added another $4.50 to my clad jar. I hope to take it silver hunting in August and see what it pulls up for me.
