Well I have been using the 3030 on and off on the beach( 150hrs) with mixed results. Yesterday was the 3rd gold ring for the 3030. I played around and used Ground coin, fast on, deep off, and a gain of 20, auto plus 2. I do hunt in combined tone with a FE line of 24 open screen.
What this seemed to do is allow for deeper targets to have less strenght. I had to settel on a prety slow coil speed but if you tipped a target it would catch it. I did have a target that both toned high and burpped low. I dug it to find a iron nail with a aluminum sheetmetal washer attached.
This was a good indication of target seperation the machine has. The hunt produced 39 coins 24 were pennies, lots of light trash,the watch was lost before daylight savings, and was three scoops to recover. The 10k girls HS Ring.The ring was really only the dry sand find but was on the hight tide mark that had dried in the last 6 hrs. I really stumbled on it. I was doing something to adjust the finds pouch and turned around and put the coil down. It beeped and the meter showed 12-02 I remember saying ya right. I rescanned the target and it settled in at 12-03. While I have come to like this tdi area. I will note that those little round aluminum drink tops hit at these same 2 numbers. Trick I have found thus far is when pin pointing the tone will not have the strenght if its trash as if its a solid target.It will just sound weak, and has been 100 % correct so far.I still dig all of them anyways!
The ring is working its way back to the owner it may take a few extra steps as it only has her first name. I am pretty sure it was a really fresh drop.
Thanks to those pointers from other users and I hope something I post helps others aswell.
