Jay's Gold Program

[cjc]

anyone else using this prog? I've had some good results with it.

I've never heard of it before.
How can it be better than running wide open in traditional settings?
I mean you can set discrimination to mask out trash but it can also hurt detection of a good (but perhaps marginal) target.
Most recommendations are to run wide open and train your brain to analyze what you hear.
I haven't read of a setting for example that would make a thin gold chain more detectable.
To get more depth, run the 17" coil...
With the CTX we don't seem to have much control of TX/RX frequency content other than perhaps using the Noise Cancel.
The brains of the CTX seem directed towards target ID and discrimination - and has decent detection depth along with it.
With the 11" coil, I'm happy with the depth, amazed at the small things it senses, and gold sounds nice when I get over it - the challenge is getting over it....

I'm basically a pulse hunter--can't get any wider open that but it's been said that the CTX will go deeper when there are rejected targets present and a program to facilitate this. Maybe it's the extreme salinity of the conditions I hunt in but nothing open smoothes out that well unless you are running the Sens very lo. I found Jays Program to be smooth running and it allowed Sens settings up over 20--even as high as 24 or more. It was also a huge time saver --keeping me off the rusted foreign cons that used to take up the whole day. Great tone on gold too. Still testing Andy's Gold Prog--I'm in the process of setting up a download page for all of them. There are also some Placer Gold Set ups I found on on Steve Hershbach's page that seem to have good beach potential.

Clive, I just tried a modified Jay's Gold Program last night on the wet sand. My only modification was putting the tones to where I like them. What I found was that I could work the beach in Manual 26 with very few false signals, normally all I can do with the mode I had been using was manual 23, I was even able to work the wash in 26 manual. Of course (in my opinion) one of the drawbacks of the higher sensitivity is more extremely small non ferrous targets, you can see from the pictures. First good target was the thin bracelet with tiny charms, then of course the 10k band made the night.... Thanks for the tips!

Different conditions then - I am usually running ~27 manual which in auto +3 might give 21.

Great Hunt, Cliff--that 12-28 is magical! Another thing I like about Jay's prog is that when you hear the really low tone--you are alerted to try some tests to see if it's a micro conductor. Many just disappear in PP or are weak on the cross sweep .If it's got some size--that's different. I liked that mid gold tone---guess it's what you are used to.

Can someone post the pattern and settings so that we can see it? Or is there a link?

I downloaded the programs and will take a look. I already had a modified version of Andy's that I use on the dry sand to get rid of bottlecaps and foil.

Different conditions then - I am usually running ~27 manual which in auto +3 might give 21.

Same. I run 25-27 for the most part and auto+3 would put me at 17-23. I find I am always 5-10 higher than what auto recommends. What's weird is that I notice when it recommends say 14, I can get to 27 in manual but when it recommends 20, I might only be on 24/25 in manual.
