Nice job, Wayne.
OK Dewcon and teleman...I had to do it. I was hunting last night, and had nulling SO BAD, that I kept running sensitivity DOWN DOWN DOWN...once I got to 5, and it was no better, I gave up -- and I "sinned."
I broke Bryce's rule. I am a newb with my SE, but... I TOOK IT OUT OF THE DEFAULT SETTINGS. Forgive me, father, for I have sinned...
I went to IM and set my mask on 31, and then switched to ferrous sounds. You guys both said this was sometimes necessary. I didn't know what else to do. I don't know if it was EMI or what, but in IM 31, it was a constant machine-gun barrage of low tones. No WONDER I couldn't get a threshold. There could NOT have been that much iron in the ground, unless it was flakes of rust or something. The only other thing I can think, was maybe it had something to do with the fact that my rechargeable pack was down to about 1/2 charge. I charged it overnight, and this morning went to a different site, but it ran just fine -- sens. at 22. Could it have been the battery, or was it EMI (there were power lines pretty close to me when I was having the problem).
Oh, by the way, found a couple of coins and other non-ferrous junk when hunting in ferrous sounds, but I behaved, and went back to conductive sounds and factory defaults this morning!
