Non-Motion, All Metal Mode

[Neil in West Jersey]

Does anyone use the non-motion mode on their detectors? I have not ventured into this territory yet, because I asumed it was meant for prospecting. But now I am hearing things about more depth for coin & relic hunting. I just have a hard time with the constent signals.

Are you referring to all metal and what detector do you have.

The only non motion, all metal mode on the ace 250
is the pinpoint mode. And yes, I actually use it as
a detector mode sometimes.. It can tell you things
the motion ID mode can't , like location, how many
objects in an area, appx shape, size, etc..
I use it sometimes to look at deep iron junk that
seems to be in our yard.
Some are fairly large, and could be pieces of angle iron,
rebar, or whatever... But in the normal detect mode,
the ace machine is motion only. It has an all metal
mode, but it's motion, not non motion, until you press
the pinpoint button. On the ace 250, pressing pinpoint
puts it in all metal, non motion, no matter what the
ID mode is.
As far as other machines, dunno about them.. Don't know
which models include that mode...

It has a non-motion mode meant for gold prospecting, but supposedly this gives more depth than motion mode.

It certainly does but remember it detects every piece of metal in the ground and it needs to be ground balanced to work properly.
