Low sense....

[REVIER]

Went hunting at my local park, Park 1, 50 tones, sense on 23, reactivity 6, iron bias 0 using the 6" coil.
Did alright, moved slow and picked up some coins that weren't perfect signals but there was enough of a solid piece to dig them.
Lots of low to higher 20's jumpy targets that were bottle caps.
I suspected most of them were and I do know three ways to try to ID them but gaining mastery over that skill is still a work in progress.
The machine was fairly quiet but I did get a good amount of chatter and false high tones from iron.

Then eventually I moved the sense down to 12 and upped the iron bias to 3.
Things got real quiet,
I got a signal that sounded fainter, it jumped a bit but mostly stayed at 30-32 from more than one direction and the pinpoint said deep...I had been fooled before on these but I got curious and dug down anyway.
At a measured 8" deep I hit this screw on Pepsi cap.
Now it is just trash but I was thrilled to dig it.
First, there was actually something down there so that was great.
Second, it wasn't iron.
Third, it did up-average but I can deal with that as I am used to that behavior using 2 other brands in my dirt.
Fourth, it was 8" deep in my soil in an area where I usually haven't found much of anything that deep or even got signals that deep,(except iron), and I did it with the sniper and the sense at less than half of the highest setting.
Plus it was pretty stable, there was iron in the vicinity too, there is iron in the vicinity of most targets I dig so that high number might have definitely been influenced by that iron and maybe not as up averaged as it seemed.

This was impressive...if trash like this is that deep and I missed it in the past what else is down there.
Also I am on track to get down farther than I have been able to reach than any time in the past and if I can hit this thing with the small coil I wonder what the larger, standard coil will do?
It took me awhile to wrap my head around being able to turn my F70 way down and still hit deep targets but eventually I did after seeing it with my own eyes.
Today I have confidence the Nox can do this too and I found out way sooner in my journey.

Still so much more to discover but today's hunt was a big one..

The m ore time on the machine the more you learn.. good luck

Sounds promising. I’m looking forward to trying the low sense approach.
I’m also interested in trying out gold mode in my heavy iron spots.

We tested that on the beach..... at 10 we were getting targets about 3" less than at sense 18. But at both of those sensitivities we found targets at good depth and it ran much quieter than with higher sensitivity. The ole high beams in fog approach. I used to hunt that away when park hunting knowing others though they were getting more depth with higher sensitivity..... when in fact reducing it some times is a better pay off when picking thru trash..... less soil/targets to process

I wasn't in Gold mode on this hunt but I have tried G2 and lower sense.
Quiet, nice tight signals with sharp ends over targets...especially good ones.

I've noticed at some sites I need to crank the sensitivity way down. But as with the cz20 and 21s I notice very little depth reduction so nothing for me to be concerned about.
