New video on Test garden

[chicagoron]

No targets at the beach and too hot to hit the park so I put together a video on making a test garden to help with deep target ID and recovery.

cool test like to see it done with the se pro the auto setting did not sound to productive manual much better but those were fresh buried coins one,s naturaly in the ground would probly sound different

Ron great video, you r test best simulates a ploude farm field wich is what i hunt , and the dirt you have just looks so old

I'm curious how other deep seeking machines would react to the 9'' coins. I wonder how a properly tune CZ-3D would do? Don't get me wrong I love my E-trac and it's good in the trash,But I have found my deepest coins with Fisher czs and the CZ-3D found my deepest. I know this is a minelab forum but that would be intresting. Or even try other minelab machines and see how they react.Some claim the older Explorers are deeper.

Ron --

Great video. Jumpy numbers -- especially FE numbers -- are what I experience on deeper coins, as well. I agree with you -- deeply-buried coins in your test garden, and then running your machine over them paying close attention to what kind of response/ID information you get -- will REALLY help you when you translate those lessons into the field with you.

Learned something on your video WTG...........

Coins that have been in the ground a few years would give a slightly better response at these depths.

Good video. Watering the targets in with a brine solution will help the coins "connect" with the soil so that they react more like coins that have been buried for awhile. Target response...regardless of detector used...will be better if you do this.

CZ3D is easier to understand...and it would easily ID hightone on a 9" silver dime in moderately mineralized soil. No confusing cursor or FE/CO numbers jumping around. That being said...I just sold my CZ3D and bought a used Explorer II. 1024 individual points of discrimination versus 7. Once properly learned, I firmly believe the Explorer/Etrac units will trump a CZ or most other units. By trump I mean dig more treasure versus trash. Still gotta dig trash to get the gold though.

Happy Hunting
