Another great water hunt today! The Infinium performed well again. Not as many targets tonite, but a great junk to good target ratio. The Infinium is totally different from any other machine out there. The audio comes in low-high-low or high-low-high, depending on its conductivity. Iron can read both ways. However, the Infinium also has an iron check too. For maximum performance, you have to select an operating frequency to cut out chatter from built up areas, power lines, cell phones etc. You can also manually ground balance the Infinium for maximum depth too. The audio tends to give up little secrets that aren't in the manual. As a rule, the longer the audio duration after running the coil over the target, the larger the targets. Pop cans continue a signal for about 6-8 seconds after running the coil over it. If you use the same sweep speed of the coil, the duration of each individual high or low sound gives a hint as to the targets depth. The clarity of the signal gives hints as what is in the ground. A smooth soft sound is usually a coin, ring, bottle cap. A rough sounding signal is quite often junk.. A double bling is usually a nail or bobby pin. You kind of have to be experienced with what a metal detector can do and how it operates to learn it. Someone with no experience metal detecting would probably give up due to total frustration. It takes time. One thing I learned so far is to keep the same swing speed when trying to ID a target. If you don't, you get variation of signals which don't really tell you anything.

Here is a close-up of the rings. The toe ring needed some Dremmel magic to get it up to standards. The deepest ring was the mood ring, which came in at about 12 inches.
Below is a pick of the Garrett Gals, keeping an eye on my hunting techniques.......and asking, "where the heck is awhitster"
I think the one on the left likes you.
