I was hoping to get some pointers on setting up my GTP 1350 with some custom settings for trashy areas.
I live in upstate New York and while we have a ton of cellar holes ( at least 100 cellar holes within a 20 minute drive from my home) and other great colonial sites most of them are absolutely riddled with trash. Most of it is old junk iron like rusted pieces of fencing or pots and pans and so on. Many targets I find are in holes that have numerous things in them, one hole 10" by 10" might have 5 targets in it, 4 old rusted nails and one decent thing. I have two sites right now that I have permission to hunt and I KNOW there has got to be some decent coins sitting there waiting to be dug but my GTP 1350 goes nuts. Almost anywhere on the sites the detector goes crazy because there are so many targets in the ground. There are paint cans, old canned goods cans and the like all over the surface of the ground. My plan is to clean up what I can see visibly and put it in a pile or haul it away at my own expense. After that though the ground is still littered with iron so what do I do?
So while I have read and understand the instruction manual fairly well I was really hoping to get some tips from those of you who have done the experimentation already and could pass along some wisdom. Thanks for taking the time to read.
