GBP and F5 coil video #2

I put this together today. It's another demonstration with iron and depth.

The nickel and gold ring are 3" below the nail in this test. Just watch and listen carefully.

Oh, and the sweep speed also affects the tones as some have pointed out in the past, and this video demonstrates this.

Sorry for the poor video, had a few problems with the cam :shrug:
 
No idea as I don't have the 11" DD coil, but based on this test, I don't why it should not.

Monte might pipe in here I'm sure, and he might give some feedback from his own tests with the G2 and the 11" DD coil, gosh, he might even say it's better, who knows.
 
Don't mean to knock your test. But bury the coin and the ring about three inches in the ground and see if you get the same results. Real world test.....Jack

Jackintexas ..... I'd love too, would you care to visit Maine and dig a few holes for me as I can't seem to right now, I think my digging tool is blunt or something. :blowup:
 
This is my first video attempt so hope it works but this is the 11dd coil with a silver dime 4 inches down. It would be a real iffy dig in the field but Ive learned that signals like this often are Iron masking some good stuff. The ground is red clay with a layer of sand on top, balances at 79, 4 bars iron sensitivity at about 60 and disc is moved from 40 tone break to 40 disced out then back to 40 tone break. Hunting with the tone break defiantly hits better. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctltpXFP3AU[/video]
I repeat this is my first video so constructive criticism is defiantly welcome!!

That HIGH TONE is enough to make me want to dig that......

godigit1, great video, just one thing to add, do the test again when you get time and increase the sweep speed over the target with the nail on the top and the dime 4" down.

Again, nice demo of the Gold Bug SE / Pro. :clapping::thumbup:
 
BH_Landstar and godigit1 --

Very impressive videos, IMO. Very cool. godigit1 -- can you tell me what you meant by
Being unfamiliar with these machines, I am assuming you can set a "tone break point" and you can independently set an "iron disc level," both of which can differ from each other? So, first you had no iron disc and tone break set at the top of the iron level (40), and then you set disc and tone break both at 40, and then back to no disc, tone break at 40? I assume that the difference is one lets you hear the iron grunts, the other lets you hear nothing below 40, and just the VCO for any target above 40?

Thanks,

Steve

This video explains it very well. Gold Bug Demo
 
Hey Bh Landstar
Here is the revised video using faster sweeps. When I first got the Bug I was sweeping pretty fast and it is a very fast machine but once I slowed down and gave the computer time to process in trashed up areas I started making way more finds. So Ive also added a couple finds from the yard on the end of the video. They were both shallow but good examples of hunting in iron infested ground. The EMI you will hear is my vibraprobe. It drives me crazy, at some point I will upgrade to a propointer. Hunting with just a tone break might also drive people crazy in trashy ground but Ive trained my ears to deal with it.
Sgoss66 the Video supplied by Tabman is a great explanation and I couldn't add anything to it if I wanted to. It was well done.

The two items dug were a piece of a heart pendant and a toy watch both made of copper. Ive previously hunted that area but with iron disced out and using the 5dd. For me this is a good example of why I hunt in tone break only now and listen to everything. The 11dd is capable of splitting hairs and is plenty deep, the 5 is very deep for a 5 but hard to cover ground with.

I had given up on the back yard but might have to revisit it some more.:detecting:

Perfect....... Now I need the bloody snow here in Maine to melt and the ground to get soft to dig.
 
Very good test. I did mine with the 5 " dd coil only. Don't have 11" yet. But believe you me I will have one soon. Again-very good test. Real world test.....Jack
 
just got back from the beach and only got a few coins but they had been there a long time like years and i know of at least a minelab sovereign that gets down there and who knows what else? keep hearing the sovereign is the best beach detector bar none i start to believe it until i pull these coins that all the "better" detectors have missed i think the Gold Bug is not given its credit for being cheaper and better so i don't mind lets keep it between us :surprised:
 
Thanks Jack,
Between Bh Landstar and Keith Southern and myself I think the Gb was well represented in this thread as well as others on this forum!!
Use in the Field after a year still surprises me once and a while. I think when I can swing it I might upgrade to the pro but will keep my version 2 I really like the saturated audio..
When a product is first developed it goes through a design process, engineer designs it, manufacturing makes it manufacturable and marketing makes everyone happy after the demos go out.
Maybe just maybe the first or second tweaks are closer to what the engineer first envisioned and designed before manufacturing and field testers complained about something you cant understand in a couple weeks of use. The true beauty comes out over time and digging hundreds of targets not just hunts at different hunted out locations. I may be fooling myself but that is how I feel about my version.
No disrespect intended to the process or field testers, just the ramblings of a guy who had a good dinner and a couple or four Ranger IPAs.:buds:
Be Well

Hey tabman,

Thanks for the video. I think that explains it completely. Looks like your true "high tone/low tone" break point IS set by your disc level, but as you run the disc up past 40, you have ANOTHER break point, between low tone and "no" tone, that moves up in conjunction with the higher disc. level.

Thanks. That was a great, informative video.

And, excellent second video, godigit1. Looks like that little short, choppy "wiggle" really helps sort a high tone from the iron trash, once you have hit upon something that sounds suspicious in your normal sweeping.
