I have been busy reading a lot of posts... I have been givin some great advice on here from quite a few . well I have been going out and finding out what works for me! I took all the advice, especially the advice on finding what settings work best in my area for me. also how to determine a rusty nail, and the best advice of all in my eyes was ... let the E-trac work for you... it will pick out the best target you don't have discriminated out and when you dig, if you find that rusty nail...keep checking the hole! I couldn't agree more! so here is what I did, I went back to a park that I have been hitting heavily along with just about everyone else... I used the Andy S. coin pattern and ran the stock coil with the sensitivity on 30! I would find a nice target with a nice tone both ways ( say an IH at 10") mark it, then switch to auto +3... it would chatter and thunk! then I would change to the trashy park program I have been running and check it in auto +3... barely a blip... then increase the sensitivity to manual 30.. and it would be ther but because of the null it was not a solid stable tone.
I would not have dug if I had not first found it in the other program running a hot sensitivity. when I switched to the Andy s. coin program and hopped up the manual sensitivity to 30 I started hitting targets I missed and so did everyone else... it is a lot of different tones and some falsing... but after a few hours I was renewed! I think I dug 2 rusty nails , a pouch full of pulltabs , and bottle tops ( they come in at the IH range here) in the past few days I have dug 34 wheats, 4 buffalo nickels, 3 V nickels, 6 IH's 1 merc, 2 rosies, and a boatload of memorials, nickels, dimes and quarters. and this is only a fraction of the park... I am gonna re-grid everything...
so thanks for all your input on my posts, and getting me back in the game!
